In order to simplify installation for you, a one-click installation package for Windows has been created, integrated with  Xampp. Xampp is a very famous AMP integrated environment. We simplify Xampp and develop a control panel for one-click installation packages of ZenTao Enterprise and it makes the installation very convenient.

For one-click installation of Xampp, you can visit the official website https://www.apachefriends.org/

When you install ZenTao Enterprise for the first time, you will be asked to install VC++. Apache user authentication is ON by default, and you can change the password of MySQL.

1. Run the one-click installation for Windows

Download the latest one-click installation ( .exe file) from our website https://www.zentao.pm/download.html.Double click to unzip it to a root directory of any partition, such as d:\zentao.

1.1 If you install ZenTao Enterprise for the first time, you will be asked to install VC++

Double click xampp\start.exe to launch control panel. If VC++ is not installed, there will be a prompt asking you to install VC++.

1.2 Change MySQL password

Once ZenTao started, a prompt will remind you to change the MySQL password. You can use the password suggested or set your own. Click OK and the password will be saved. You can later check and change the password by clicking "Password->MySQL setting" or going to xampp/zentaobiz/config/my.phpto check it.

1.3 Apache user authentication

Once ZenTao is started, Apache user authentication is ON by default. Uncheck "Enable Apache authentication", if you want to set it OFF. If Apache authentication is on, users have to enter that account and password before visiting ZenTao, unless by clicking "Visit Zentao" on the control panel. Non-Admin users have to ask for account and password from the Admin.

If you want to change the account and password of Apache user authentication, go to Password--Apache Settings--Config Account at the upper right of the control panel.

The screenshot below shows the account and password of Apache user authentication that you need to fill in.

Enter the corresponding parameters in xampp/zentaobiz/config/my.php and then you can log in the database of ZenTao Enterprise.
