1. Create an mid user on your instance

Create a user account and grant it the mid_server role

Example of creating a local account for the mid server. Note: local admin is not required if the account has appropriate permissions on the system.

2. net localgroup administrators /add svc_mid

2. Download the installer to your Mid Server
