# Manual Installation

## Prerequisites

Before installing 2PXE Server 4.0, make sure that the requirements listed on the [Prerequisites](/2pxe-server/4.0/planning/prerequisites.md) page are met.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Configuration Manager compatibility**

2PXE Server 4.0 is not currently compatible with Microsoft Configuration Manager. The Configuration Manager-specific requirement below is retained for reference only and does not describe a supported 4.0 deployment.
{% endhint %}

* If you want to use Configuration Manager, the 2PXE Server must be installed on a Configuration Manager Distribution Point.

## Installation

{% hint style="warning" %}
In-place upgrades from 2PXE Server 3.x to 4.0 are not supported. For upgrade and migration instructions, see [Upgrading to 2PXE Server 4.0](/2pxe-server/4.0/whats-new-and-upgrades/upgrading-to-2pxe-server-4.0.md).
{% endhint %}

From an elevated command prompt, launch **TwoPint.TwoPxe.Installer.msi**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/2pxe-server/4.0/installation/installation-and-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
