- Windows Installer – MID Server
Install Windows MID Servers with the new native Windows Installer.

The installer requires a Windows service account, which should be a non-admin with low privilege. The new installer is available from the MID Server download page.
Run MID Servers as non-root user on a Linux machine to improve security. Multiple MID Server can be installed as services so they can start by themselves after system reboots. Supported versions are Linux Red Hat 6 or newer, Ubuntu 1404 or newer, and CentOS 6 or newer.
Reserve resources before a task is assigned to a thread. If the resources the task needs aren’t available, then that task waits in the MID Server’s work queue while other tasks are assigned to the thread. Enable using MID Server parameter: mid.probe.wait.resources.
