Installation

• Server installation
  Install the U2U.SharePoint.RSSFeeds.Server.msi package on your SharePoint server. You can use any Web Site or Virtual Directory, remember that when you use the site which is extended with SharePoint, you have to add the chosen Virtual Directory needs to be excluded in SharePoint Central Administration. The RSS Feeds server uses a configuration file (config.xml). The account you will use to do the administration of the RSS Feeds must have read, write and modify rights on that file.
  
• Client installation
  Install the U2U.SharePoint.RSFeeds.Client.msi package on the machine you want to use to do the RSS Feeds administration. This machine doesn’t have to be your server machine, you can use any client machine as long as the .NET Framework version 1.1 is installed to it. When you start the installed application for the first time you have to specify the location of the configuration web service. This webservice is located in the Virtual Directory or Web Site you’ve chosen during the server installation (e.g. http://yourServer/yourVirtualDirectory/ConfigurationServices.asmx). By default the administration tool will use the credentials of the current user, if you’re running as a user that is not known on the server, you can specify custom credentials as well.
