12. You can also use the Distribute Software Wizard. To run the wizard, select All Tasks/Distribute Software
on the Action menu and follow the instructions of the wizard.
Important! You cannot create Distribution Points.
Manual Registration of the SharePoint Connection Library
To communicate with Microsoft SharePoint Server, the Server Manager and the Remote Administration Console require
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher to be installed. If Microsoft .NET Framework has not been installed on the
computer prior to installing ABBYY Recognition Server, the SharePoint connection library will not be registered during
the installation. In this case, prior to configuring Recognition Server to output documents to the SharePoint Server, you
should install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later and then register the SharePoint connection library manually:
1. Run dotnetfx20.exe file from the DotNet folder on the Recognition Server 3.0 CD. Follow the installation
program instructions.
2. After Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed, to register the SharePoint connection library launch the file
SPConnectorLibReg.exe, which can be found in the \Bin subfolder of ABBYY Recognition Server installation folder.
3. Close the Remote Administration Console component and run it again. Restart the Workflows which will be
used for saving output files to SharePoint libraries.
Installing the Hardware Key Drivers
If you have a hardware protection key, the hardware key drivers must be installed on your computer before you can run
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0.
In the case of a 32�bit system, the hardware key drivers are automatically installed on your computer during ABBYY
Recognition Server installation.
In the case of a 64�bit system, you should install the hardware key drivers manually. The drivers should be installed in
non�PCSC mode. To install the drivers in this mode, run the iKeyDrvr.exe file from the ABBYY Recognition Server
3.0\USB Drivers\64Bit folder on the Recognition Server 3.0 CD using the following command line: iKeyDrvr.exe /v"
VR=OFF". Reboot your computer after installing.
Note: If the hardware key drivers are installed in non�PCSC mode (the drivers for 32�bit systems are installed in this
mode automatically, while for 64�bit system the drivers can be installed in this mode using the command line referred
above), the USB keys cannot be used as smart cards. If you need to use the USB keys as smart cards, you should install the
hardware key drivers manually in PCSC mode by running corresponding iKeyDrvr.exe file without the VR=OFF
parameter of the command line. In this case, ABBYY Recognition Server can work with the hardware keys, only if the
Server Manager service is run under Local System account.

Installing Microsoft Search IFilter
Microsoft Search IFilter consists of two components: the IFilter istelf, which is installed on the same computer with the
Microsoft search system (Microsoft Search Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, or Microsoft Windows Search), and
the Support for IFilter component which is installed together with the Server Manager and provides interface for
configuring settings of the IFilter�dedicated workflow. You may install numerous copies of IFilter in the local network
and connect them to one Recognition Server.
To install Microsoft Search IFilter, do the following:
1. When installing the Server Manager component select Support for IFilter subfeature.
2. Install ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 IFilter on computer(s) with the Microsoft search system:
a. Select ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 IFilter for installation from ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 CD�
ROM. Follow the installation instructions.
b. Specify the program you are going to use Microsoft Search IFilter with. Select Indexing Service
(Desktop Search) item for Microsoft Windows Search and Microsoft Office SharePoint Search
item for Microsoft Search Server or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. The latter item is disabled if
neither Microsoft Search Server nor Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is installed on the computer.
c. The installation wizard requests the name of the computer on which the Server Manager is installed.
Enter the computer’s DNS name or its IP address.
d. ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 IFilter includes the ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 IFilter Backend
service. During installation the program will ask you to select a user account under which the service
will be run after installation. By default, the Local System account is selected. The conditions when

(<Installation folder>\Bin\RecognitionServer3Temp) and Processing Station (<Installation
folder>\Bin\ProcessingStation3Temp) and there are a lot of "Access to the file was denied", or "A sharing violation
occurred while accessing the file", or "The file was not found" messages in the Server log. Such error messages mean that
some system settings cause a conflict of file access. In these cases we recommend to set antivirus program or any other
specific programs so that they do not check the temporary folders of the Server and Processing Station of ABBYY
Recognition Server.

non�PCSC mode. To install the drivers in this mode, run the iKeyDrvr.exe file from the ABBYY Recognition Server
3.0\USB Drivers\64Bit folder on the Recognition Server 3.0 CD using the following command line: iKeyDrvr.exe /v"
VR=OFF". Reboot your computer after installing.
Note: If the hardware key drivers are installed in non�PCSC mode (the drivers for 32�bit systems are installed in this
mode automatically, while for 64�bit system the drivers can be installed in this mode using the command line referred
above), the USB keys cannot be used as smart cards. If you need to use the USB keys as smart cards, you should install the
hardware key drivers manually in PCSC mode by running corresponding iKeyDrvr.exe file without the VR=OFF
parameter of the command line. In this case, ABBYY Recognition Server can work with the hardware keys, only if the
Server Manager service is run under Local System account.
