Install the Three Components

The simplest way to install is to run the single RasterexInstaller.exe file as Administrator. It installs Rasterex Engine, Rasterex Backend, and Rasterex Canvas in sequence.

• Right-click RasterexInstaller.exe and select "Run as administrator"
• Accept the Rasterex Engine license agreement when prompted
• Wait for all three packages to install
• Installation completes automatically
• Read more about Rasterex Engine

For scripted deployments, use command-line options. Open an elevated PowerShell prompt.

# Install with logging
.\RasterexInstaller.exe /log "%TEMP%\RasterexInstaller.exe.log"

# Silent install (Note: Rasterex Engine may still show license UI)
.\RasterexInstaller.exe /quiet /norestart /log "%TEMP%\RasterexInstaller.exe.log"

Confirm that the installer completed before beginning the required configuration steps.

• Check IIS Manager -> Sites for "Rasterex Canvas"
• Verify backend files exist at C:\Program Files\RasterexBackend
• Confirm the Rasterex Canvas site binding is configured for port 4203

The installer is complete, but the local system is not ready to test until Rasterex Backend and Canvas are configured.

• Configure Rasterex Backend: set the database connection, start the backend, and seed common data.
• Configure Rasterex Canvas: set the Rasterex Engine and Rasterex Backend service URLs.
• Verify local installation.
