FairCom products can be installed using a downloaded compressed (.zip or .tar) file or an Installer (.msi) file if you purchased a product for Windows.
Compressed files are ideal for embedding the FairCom server into an application or for running multiple instances of the server on the same computer.
On Windows, the installer file automatically installs dependencies and runs the FairCom server as a Windows Service.
