2. In the new location, using Windows Explorer, rename the ..\Uninstall Information\ folder.
3. Reinstall System Setup and Library Master and the same original modules at the server so that a new installation is recorded by InstallShield.

4. In Application Server Configuration, assign an unused port to the server, and click Start or set up as a service.
