Tridion System Account
On a normal Tridion deployment, the Tridion System Account must be a Domain account. If this is just a local development or test machine, you may want to create this account as a local account instead. In either case, ensure that this account is added to the local "Administrators" group.
Install available Microsoft Updates
Go to Start -> Windows Update, then click on "Find out more" |

Check the box to agree to the terms of use and click Next |

Add required Server roles
The Tridion Content Manager installer will add the required features during installation. Due to a Windows/.NET 4 Framework conflict, we must manually add the WCF activation feature before installing Tridion.
