Install the P4S Solution

The installation wizard for P4S performs two major tasks:

Unpack and register P4S with Windows. You must use the automated wizard to perform this task.

Deploy the P4S solution to the selected web applications or site collections in your SharePoint farm.

You can choose to deploy P4S solution manually, if needed.

Note:

You must be logged directly into the SharePoint server using a SharePoint administrator user account for installation. See Troubleshooting Installation for the P4S Solution for additional information.
