# Patching where downloading files is not possible

## Artifacts

The powershell based install process downloads the artifacts in this folder and then runs windows-install.ps1.

If the download process fails for any reason, you can manually transfer theses files to your server and run windows-install.ps1 yourself.

1. Copy windows-install.ps1 and package.zip to the same folder on your server. &#x20;
2. Open powershell.exe and run .\windows-install.ps1&#x20;

This provides the same experience as the preferred process.

* The powershell install will download and install pre-requisites when Install Prerequisites is set to "y".
* The folder also contains pre-requisites which can be installed prior to running windows-install.ps1.&#x20;
* You should then set Install Prerequisites to "n" during the ASM installation

## Alemba Service Manager Setup.exe

This file will need to be generated by the Development Team, please log a support call should you need the EXE file.

The setup .exe bundles all installation artifacts and pre-requisites and can be used to install ASM without using the Powershell terminal.

The setup.exe is simply a wrapper for the powershell based install. It will unpack the installation artifacts and launch the powershell install script.

{% hint style="info" %}
The setup exe will always install pre-requisites and Install Pre-requisites must be set to "n" when prompted.
{% endhint %}
