Make sure that IIS is installed prior to running these steps.  If you don't have IIS on your machine yet, follow a guide such as this (http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/installing-iis-8-on-windows-server-2012) one to do so. 

Also you should already have your Forms inMotion service installed at this point.  If you have not done so, follow the steps here to complete it.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Run the "Forms inMotion Web Client Setup.exe file.
  2. The default install location is c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\FiM.  This will make the client location http://<YOUR WEBSERVER NAME>/FiM.  If you make changes to that deployment location or other IIS default settings you may have a different deployed application location.  Make note of that virtual directory location.
  3. The client is now installed and it must be pointed to the server.
  4. Open the c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\FiM\FIM_ServerLocation.js file using notepad or other text editor.
  5. Search for _ServerLocation variable there and replace the value in quotes with the pointer to your actual server such as _ServerLocation="https://customerserver.com/FIMV2/FormsServiceJSON.asmx".
  6. Save your file.
  7. You can now access the client at http://<YOUR WEBSERVER NAME>/FiM

Troubleshooting - Mobile Fonts

  1. The website includes fonts.  The background is not important, but different devices (iOS/Android/Linux/Windows) use different font file types.  The .css files will select the correct file by default, but unfortunately IIS' out-of-the-box configuration only serves windows font extensions properly.  So we need to add MIME types for WOFF and SV that are used on other platforms.  This is a MUST if you expect end users to access the web site from Android or iOS mobile browsers instead of using the mobile apps.  

    To do this:

    Go to IIS Manager and click on the top level web site.  Select MIME Types from the IIS Settings.  Click Add on the right and add entries for each of the following.  These need to be EXACTLY as seen below and note that the file extensions DO have a (dot) in front of them.  You might need to recycle the site after this change.
    1. .woff - font/x-woff
    2. .woff2 - font/x-woff
    3. .svg - image/svg+xml
