Windows 8 and Server 2012 were released after Flare 8 was released. A few modifications will need to be made to get the output to work correctly on newer servers. For complete instructions on enabling WebHelp Plus and HTML Server-Based Outputs, please see the linked Flare Help articles below. The steps in these articles are needed prior to following the instructions below.
Enabling HTML5 Server-Based Output
Solution:
- On Windows 8 Server or Server 2012 , install ASP.NET 4.5 and .NET Extensibility 4.5.
- Open IIS and expand the site locating the published output
- Right-Click on the 'Service' Folder and select 'Explore' to open the folder in Windows Explorer
- Open the 'Web.config' file in a text editor
- Comment out the entire sectionGroup that contains the name = "system.web.extensions".
- Open the Console.ConfigureSearch folder
- Locate and launch ConfigureSearch.exe. You will see a small command line open and close.
- Test the functionality of your output by refreshing the site and reloading the output on a browser
