Steps

The file requested in that step is the installer for Microsoft Search Server 2010 Express. Unfortunately, the "Download Setup File" does not work anymore because the URL provided is no longer valid.

Customers can download the installer manually at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=18914 and choose the option "Use a local setup file" to continue.
