Enablement Pack Setup Scripts

The Enablement Pack Install process is entirely driven by scripts. The below table outlines these scripts, their purpose and if "Run as Administrator" is required. 

* Note that on some systems executing Windows Powershell scripts is disabled by default, see troubleshooting for workarounds

Each Powershell script in the list above provides some help at the command line, this can be output by passing the "-help" parameter to the script.For Example > .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1 -help

Step-By-Step Guide

Setup and configure RED Metadata Repository

Run Powershell as Administrator:

Script 1 > Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1

Important Upgrades Notes

If RED repository exists, it will prompt to upgrade the repository.

This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:

To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:

Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED prior to installing this  Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with previous Source Enablement Pack's we recommend moving these previous versions of Load Tables to newly created Parser based connections following this install. The earlier versions of the Source Enablement Pack will be deprecated following this release.
