4.2.1 Installation HiCo X-Browser
Page 10 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

4.2 - Product Installation
1 The current HICO X-Browser® Version 9.2.0 is a MINOR version of the

underlying application.
Due to the extensive technical changes in the HICO X-Browser® Version

9.0.0, only existing installations of the HICO X-Browser® Version 9.x.x
can be upgraded. An upgrade from other previous versions of the HICO
X-Browser® (e.g.: HICO X-Browser® v8.x) is not possible.
The screenshots below may differ depending on versions, version number

displayed should be seen as an example!
Start the Setup EXE file from the "Software" directory on the installation source medium.
Afterwards the dialog window shown below appears. If necessary, an upgrade note can also
be displayed if the HICO X-Browser® is already installed.
The product version is defined in Major (first digit position, i.E.: 9.1.0) and
Minor (digits starting from second position, e.g.: 9.1.0).
Please note that officially only an update from ONE minor version (i.E.: from
9.0 to 9.1) to another will be supported!
In general the HICO X-Browser® Setup supports an automatic update from the last installed
application version. In this case, all necessary migration steps are performed by the setup
itself. This type of installation is always easier and can be carried out if no changes to the
configuration are to be made (i.e: Installation paths and settings remain the same as in the
previous version).
If this is not desired for various reasons, a new installation with prior uninstallation of the old
application is recommended. Choosing this type of installation nevertheless means that all
configuration settings have to be done from scratch, as the current setup no longer has any
references to the old installation.

X-Browser®:Service:
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 13 of 31

Fig. 4: HICO X- Browser® installations type
Option Description
Installation as Service (Default)
The X-Browser®:Service will be installed and configured for running as
a service in the system. This is a convenient way allowing a (automatic)
Start of the application and all users can immediately access the applica-
tion just after starting the computer.
(Access rights and correct firewall settings provided of course)
Installation as Application (for
distribution only) The X-Browser®:Service is available after installation and configuration
can be done via an application link. This means, it is necessary to start
this link for using the application (This may be a useful option, in case
when using the application from a single user). Regardless to this, all
users may use the application after starting the service.
(Access rights to the service and the application data provided)
This type of installation is mainly used for distribution via

USB stick or CD/DVD.
Page 14 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

4 Afterwards the inputs have to be confirmed with the button "Install" in the following dialog box
to start the installation. If the inputs shall be adapted once again a return to the previous dialog
boxes for settings is possible with the button "Back".
Fig. 5: HICO X- Browser® installation
5 After the installation was made faultlessly, the final dialog box appears. With the button "Close"
you leave the setup and the browser is ready for use.
For using the HICO X-Browser® it is necessary to configure the application.

The configuration can be done with the HICO X-Browser®:ConfigCenter —
see Chapter 5.1
The HICO X-Browser®:ConfigCenter will be started immediately after

the installation for a mandatory initial configuration. (recommended),
Afterwards, it can be restarted at any time via the program shortcut that
has been created during the installation.

4.2.2 Silent Installation HiCo X-Browser
4.2.2.1 General information on silent installation

The silent installation can be started with launcher (*.exe) in 3 ways:
− Directly via the launcher by letting the parameters pass through (setup.exe /s /V" /s for silent, /V is the
pass-through parameter for msiexec)
− After an extraction for the administrative installation (setup.exe /a, subsequently select a path, /a starts
an administrative installation)
− After a manual extraction via msiexec (start setup.exe, copy setup.msi out of the temporary folder)
Basic and universally valid parameters for msiexec are:
− /qn - "No User Interface", no dialogues and user interactions are displayed;
− /log path/to/logfile - if desired, writes an MSI logfile;
− INSTALLDIR - standard variable for the destination location. Unless otherwise specified, this is the
target path;
− ADDLOCAL=[list of components] - installs only the specified components.
− PATH_OR_PROPERTY="VALUE" - sets the path/the property "PATH_OR_PROPERTY" to the value
"VALUE". If VALUE contains spaces, the inverted commas are required. If this possibility is used
together with the direct start via the setup launcher, the inverted commas must be invalidated with a
backslash: PATH_OR_PROPERTY=\"VALUE\"
4.2.2.2 Parameters for the silent installation
Parameters Description
INSTALLDIR Target folder for the installation (required, standard:
%PROGRAMFILES%\HICO\XBrowser)
ADDLOCAL Specifies which components are to be installed. (For
possible components refer to following Table)
Components:
Component Description
ServiceHost This feature causes that the HICO X-Browser® will
be configured as a central system service and can
be managed under services. This Feature has to be
set alternating with ApplicationHost and is the default
set.
ApplicationHost This feature causes that the HICO X-Browser® will
be configured as a local service (manual Start). This
Feature is alternating with ServiceHost.
4.2.2.3 Examples
Example for a silent installation (Service)
HICO_X-Browser_PRO_v9.1.0.exe /s /V”/qn INSTALLDIR=\”H:\HiCo\X-Browser\””
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 17 of 31

5 - After Installation
− The HICO X-Browser ® is installed in "H:\HiCo\X-Browser".

− A central service will be configured (visible in Management/Services).
Example for a silent installation (Local)

HICO_X-Browser_PRO_v9.1.0.exe /s /V”/qn ADDLOCAL=ApplicationHost"
− The HICO X-Browser® is installed in standard directory “C:\Program Files\HICO\XBrowser”.
− The ADDLOCAL statement defines, that there will be no system service configured for the application
and the service must therefore be started via its own link under Programs/HiCo.
5 After Installation
5.1 Putting into Service

The configuration of the application HICO X-Browser® can be done with the configuration tool HICO X-
Browser® :ConfigCenter. This application is automatically started as the last step of the setup. Alternatively,
it can also be started using the link at about “C:\Program Files\HICO\XBrowser”.
After starting the ConfigCenter, the necessary parameters can be set. In principle the following sections are
available
− General
− Logging
− Settings to Content
− Settings to “Auto Login”
Wherever possible on the application side, default values are already set. All other values — especially the
connection to the database or the paths to the designated storage and the log directory —must be filled
accordingly by the administrator.
In the following, corresponding screenshots of the ConfigCenter and explanations of the displayed fields can
be found.
Page 18 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

5.1 - Putting into Service
Fig. 7: ConfigCenter - General
Table 4: General Settings

Configuration File
The file specified contains all application-specific settings and is prefilled by
default during installation.
The referenced file should only be changed after consultation with HICO!
Base Adresses / URLs
Specifies the HTTP address(es) under which the application should be
accessible.
In general, the URL http://localhost:8585/ shall be filled here!
The port itself is free to choose, but it has to be available (=free) on the
system used.
Storage Directory
The base directory for the data storage. All important files to the application
are stored here in a predefined file structure.
The path C:\ProgramData\HiCo\XBrowser\Storage should be entered
here as default value. If the specified directory does not exist, it is automati-
cally created by the ConfigCenter.
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 19 of 31

Table 4: General Settings

License file
Specifies the path to the license file of the application.
This value is prefilled by default and should only be changed after consulta-
tion with HICO.
Interval of recurring processes
(minutes) The entered value defines the time interval after which recurring processes
are started.
The Default value for this Option is set to 60 minutes.
The "Database" settings are filled by default and should never be changed. Therefore the corresponding
values are not described here.
Fig. 8: Initialkonfiguration - Logging, Content und Auto Login
Page 20 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

Table 5: Logging and Content Settings

Log Directory
Specifies the path to the directory of the internal protocols.
The files stored here provide important information in case of errors.
As default value the path C:\ProgramData\HiCo\XBrowser\Logs should
be entered here. If the specified directory does not exist, it is automatically
created by the ConfigCenter.
Log Level
This parameter specifies how much log information should be recorded.
The value should be set in cooperation with the HICO support team.
The Default value for this Option is set to Warning.
ATI Confirmation Mode
This setting specifies whether "mandatory ATIs" need to be confirmed only
once by the users.
By default, the ATIs must be confirmed every time after a new log-in.
The Default value for this Option is not activated.
WCN Confrm Level
This setting specifies whether ”Warnings, Cautions and Notes" need to be
confirmed .
The Default value for this Option is Never. This means that Warnings,
Cautions and Notes do not have to be confirmed, as it was the standard
behaviour before the introduction of this option.
Maximum number of package
files Here the administrator can specify how many "old" versions of each pack-
age are to be kept. This parameter is available to limit the space if operat-
ing with very large LoadData packets.
The Default value for this Option is set to 2 (which means that 2 versions
will be kept for each installed package).
Check Document Hash
This parameter specifies whether the user should be informed if the appli-
cation detects that selected data modules of the LoadData Package have
been modified.
The Default value for this Option is set to activated.
Enable Auto Login
This parameter specifies whether currently unregistered users may use the
application or if they have to be redirected to the login page.
If the "Enable Auto Login" option is set to activated, any user can call
up the application and is automatically registered in the user directory. This
means that when the application detects that a user is logging in for the
first time, a corresponding user is automatically created inside the HICO
X-Browser in the background. Furthermore, the permissions defined in the
"Auto Login" section are assigned to this user.
The Default value for this Option is set to deactivated.
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 21 of 31

Table 5: Logging and Content Settings

Enable Auto Login — prede-
fined User permissions If the option "Enable Auto Login" is set to activated, specific default
permissions can be assigned to new users
The extended rights for "Administrator", "DeMoS Manager", "Package
Manager" and "Change Manager" are available. If one or more of these
options is set, newly created users will have these permissions by default.
If none of the options are activated, new users will be created without
extended permissions.
5.1.1 Optional Configuration

After completion of the mandatory steps, subsequent optional steps are possible if the corresponding data
is available.
If no corresponding data has been found by the setup, these optional steps are skipped. The corresponding
forms are then skipped and not displayed to the user at all.
5.1.1.1 Installation of additional LoadData packages
If there is a folder IETPLoadData inside the HICO X-Browser® Setups directory, it will be searched for
additional LoadData packets (ZIP files). All found files will be displayed to the user and afterwards installed
when the application is started.
Page 22 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

Fig. 9: Installation of additional LoadData packages
5.1.1.2 Installation of customer specific configurations
If a file customer.zip is found in the directory of the HICO X-Browser® Setup folder, the containing data will
be used for customer-specific adaptations of the application. The found file is displayed to the user and the
adjustments it contains are processed when the application is started..
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 23 of 31

Fig. 10: Installation of customer specific configurations

The application is then started with the settings specified.
If incorrect settings are made or the permissions for installing all required components
(e.g: registration of the HICO X-ContentPortal® Windows Services) are not sufficient,
an error message will appear at this point!
Otherwise, the following final screen appears after completion of all activities:
Page 24 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

5.2 - Common Configuration Recommendations
Fig. 11: Initial configuration - Closure

By using the option "Open Client", the web interface of the application can be started directly after finishing
all preparations.
The HICO X-ContentPortal® can be used without any installed LoadData Packages
but the functionality that can be used is very limited. This means that only after an
Import of a LoadData Package — which has to be generated using a corresponding
“Export” in the HICO iLS.Suite® — a full usage of the application is available.
5.2 Common Configuration Recommendations
5.2.1 Exceptions for the virus scanner

In order not to limit the performance of the HICO applications too much, the respective Storage directories
should be excluded from scanning by the virus scanner.
The reason for this is that the LoadData packages can become quite large and therefore some files will be
written to the hard disk by the application during unpacking. If each of these files is checked by the virus
scanner, the import leads to significant losses in performance!
For example, HICO internal tests have shown, for example, that with active virus scanner, importing
a package takes about 10 minutes. The same package without an active virus scanner could be
imported in one minute. This means that an active virus scanner on the corresponding target directory
slows down the import by the factor of 10!
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 25 of 31

5.3 - Software Installation Test
In the HICO X-Browser the storage directory is created by default under the Path
C:\ProgramData\HiCo\XBrowser\Storage.
For the HICO X-ContentPortal and HICO DeMoS the corresponding path must always be specified
manually during installation.
5.3 Software Installation Test
Page 26 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

1 In order to start the application HICO X-Browser®, you can either use the Desktop shortcut
HICO X-Browser® or directly go via a web-browser and the configured URL.
2 After entering the user data (the "Administrator" password can be retrieved from HICO Support),
the main menu will be displayed
3 Through the "User management", specific users and groups can be created. For details on this
procedure, please refer to chapter 3.4.3 of the user manual.
Date: 26.11.2021 Page 27 of 31

Fig. 12: User- and Group Management
Page 28 of 31 Date: 26.11.2021

4 After that, it is necessary to upload an exported package from HICO iLS.Suite® into the storage
of the HiCo X-Browser®.
For doing this, the activity “Add publication” must be started, either inside the processing
