  10. At this point, you may either open the server package from the web site or save the server executable to your PC by specifying the directory to receive the downloaded file.

  11. If you opened the server package from the web site in Step 10, follow the installation instructions. Otherwise, if you saved the server package to your PC, navigate to the directory you specified in this step and inflate the appropriate platform version by running the server executable*. Follow the installation instructions.

* Server executables are named according to platform, database and BSI TaxFactory version. To expand a server executable for Oracle on HPUX, use the following command: hporatf##.exe where ## is the release and cyclic version level.

Note: You may specify a PC directory to receive the uncompressed server information or use the BSI default directory path: c:\Program Files\'server version'. For Oracle on HPUX, the path follows: c:\program files\hporaTF##, where ## is the release and cyclic version level.
