Notes for IT Administrators
General Installation Instructions
The installation program checks whether the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 is already installed. If this is not the case, the required components are installed automatically (requires administrator rights). If necessary, the required components are downloaded from the Internet.
During installation you can decide whether easymap should be installed for all users of the computer (requires administrator rights) or whether it should be installed only for the current user (does not require administrator rights)
Installing the software
The deployment of easymap on the clients by means of the user interface is described here.
The installation package consists of an exe file (which contains an MSI package) and additional components (Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2) that may be downloaded from the Internet.
The installation package (easymap_office_<Version>_x86.exe or easymap_office_<Version>_x64.exe) can be obtained directly via download or via the offline installation package.
Silent installation
The installation is performed without a user interface. Both the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.7.2 and the program with default settings are installed. The license information can be passed as command line parameters.
LICENSEMODE=online
LICENSE=<License key>
This is the recommended method for automatically distributing the program.
Example:
easymap_office_<...>.exe /s /v"/qn LICENSEMODE=online LICENSE=01234567-1234-1234-123456789012".
/s Silent mode.
/v Pass parameters to the Windows Installer (msiexec). Format: /v "parameter". There must be no space between /v and the quotation mark. Additional quotation marks must be provided with the escape character \.
/qn starts the Windows Installer package without user interface
Unpacking the Windows Installer Package
The installation program queries the output directory and unpacks all contained files including the Windows Installer package into this folder.
When using the Windows Installer package (msi) to install the application, the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.7.2 must be installed separately.
Command line: easymap_office_<...>.exe /a
Distribution by Group Policy
The installation program (and other program packages required by the program) can be entered in a Group Policy object on an Active Directory domain controller.
The packages specified in Group Policy are installed on the workstations at startup without user intervention.
Unpack the Windows Installer package (see above) into an empty directory on a network share.
Now create a new installation package using the Group Policy Editor under "Computer Configuration/Software Settings" and specify the Windows Installer package (msi) from the folder used above.
The Microsoft .Net Framework 4.7.2 must be installed separately in this case.
Firewall and proxy settings
easymap uses the proxy server set in the system. If it requires authentication, the login is requested when easymap is started.
Furthermore, access to the following online services is required for the error-free operation of easymap:
| Purpose | URL | Port |
| License check, update check, news feed | services.infas-lt.de | 443 |
| Installation of map and data packages | download.infas-lt.de | 443 |
| Address geocoding and address search | geocoder.infas-lt.de | 443 |
| Publish (EasyMap Xplorer) | www.easymap-xplorer.de | 443 |
| Additional services |
daten.infas360.de www.b2bselect.de login.microsoftonline.com |

| Web maps | tiles.infas-lt.de lt-tile-bkg.azureedge.net lt-tile-bkg-2.azureedge.net maps.wien.gv.at |

Installing the base maps
The installation program for the base maps (MapManager.exe) is located in the easymap installation directory. Alternatively, you can find the installation program in the offline installation package.
Silent installation
The installation is performed without a user interface. A valid license must be set via easymap installation before. The following command line parameters can be passed:
/sSilent mode
/targetpath(optional) If not specified, the default directory will be used.
/offline(optional) No basic map shop is loaded from the Internet (in combination with the offline installation package)
Example:
MapManager.exe /s /targetpath: "Installation directory".
Note: It is recommended to use the local default location for the installation of the base maps (C:\ProgramData\Lutum+Tappert\Maps). If the maps are installed on a server, this will affect the software performance. In addition, a connection to the server must be established in order to use easymap.
