Setting up Anaplan XL Web Edition is usually done using the Anaplan XL Web Edition Installer. Manual setup may be required if:

    • During the setup process, the checkbox was unselected
    • Your web server is set up in a non-standard configuration, especially where the Default Website has been modified
    • You wish to create the web application yourself for whatever reason

In the non-standard setup, you may get a message from the setup program: Failed while processing WebVirtualDirs. (-2147024894)

In any of these cases, the setup program will have copied the application files to the web server, but you will have to create the site yourself. To do this:

  1. Open Internet Information Services Manager (inetmgr.exe)
  2. Under the Application Pools node, ensure that the Anaplan XL application pool has been set up. It must be configured to use v4.0 of the .NET Framework and use the Classic pipeline mode.
  3. Under the Sites node, open the website where Anaplan XL Web Edition should be made available (usually the Default Website).
  4. Usually, the Anaplan XL Web Virtual Directory will already exist within the website. If this is the case, right-click on it and select Convert to Application. If not, right-click on the website instead and select Add Application... 
  5. In the Add Application dialog, ensure that the Anaplan XL application pool is selected and choose the correct path.

This'll set up the application's website. Further security setup and other configurations will likely be necessary.
