Installing the Workflow Start Feature

This feature allows you to create buttons on list/library ribbons that, when clicked, start a workflow on the highlighted item.

Step Action
1.

When ready, click Install. The Workflow Start Feature installation/upgrade program starts and the Welcome page is displayed.

NOTE: It will be possible to proceed if the World Wide Publishing Service is started, although a yellow warning icon will be displayed. If you are running with Claims Based Authentication (CBA) or if you are installing on SharePoint 2013, you need to keep this service on in order to automatically activate features during the install. Other than these scenarios, we strongly recommend that you stop this service before installing or upgrading. See Recommendations for a successful intstall for more information.
