Simplified Overall Installation Experience in AX 2012

In the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Setup wizard, the following general
improvements make the installation experience easier and more intuitive:


Redesigned wizard pages: The Setup wizard has a new look
designed for ease of use and consistency with other Windows
installations.


Better progress indicators: The Setup wizard provides more
detailed feedback than in previous releases. While components are
being installed, what has successfully completed, what is in progress,
and what remains to be completed is visible.


Run Setup once: Previous releases of Microsoft Dynamics AX
required the Initialization Checklist to be run after installing the
basic components of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Most components,
including Enterprise Portal and reporting extensions, could not be
installed until after completing the checklist, and Setup needed to be
run multiple times to complete an installation. In Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012, the Initialization Checklist is no longer part of
the installation process, and all components can be installed without
completing the checklist.


Repeatable installation: When Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is
installed, your selections are recorded in an answer file that is saved
to the same location as the Setup logs. To replay Setup on a different
computer, you can use the answer file to replicate the saved
installation.

Post-installation configuration steps: In Microsoft Dynamics AX
2012, instructions for post-installation configuration are integrated
into the Setup wizard. Once a component is installed, the Setup
wizard displays the next steps required to complete the deployment.
In previous releases, you had to refer to the
Installation Guide for
this information.
