4.	Follow the appropriate step: If you are installing the Metasys Server software on an English language computer, skip to the next step. If you are installing the Metasys Server software on a non-English language computer, you need to set the computer's regional settings and the default language used by the SQL Server database to the same locale as the site default language.	Consult the Microsoft documentation and see Installing Metasys server for a non-English locale.
5.	Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 if the computer does not have this software feature installed.	On the start screen, click Server Manager. Select Add roles and features. The Add Roles and Features Wizard opens. Follow the wizard until you reach the Features section. Click the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or .NET Framework 3.5 feature. Check the HTTP Activation component. If you do not have Internet access, insert the operating system media, open a Command prompt with Run as Administrator, and execute this command (where <drive> is the disk drive with the media): `Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:<drive>:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess`.
