Unified installer for all On-Premises components

We had united all components into a single updated installer, like the previous “Infowise Ultimate Forms Enterprise” installer.

The new installer will allow us to add, remove or upgrade any licensed components and perform a set of deployment commands, much like the previous installers.

NOTE: There will no longer be possible to install components by using separate installers.

Infowise Ultimate forms installer is available to download from the Infowise Capability dashboard in your central administration, or in the Components page of the Ultimate Forms design.

Detailed explanations about the wizard installation steps can be found in this documentation article.
