TM Server for Windows

	Do not use Windows 10 or Windows 10 Pro for the TM web services. If at all possible use windows 7, 8, 8.1 or any windows server version. At this time, windows 10 interferes with simple file renaming and affects auto-updating of services.
	You normally need only install the Theatre Manager server ONCE on a machine per the instructions below. TM server will auto update itself.
	make sure to implement the key performance, similar to that of postgres server, especially turning off windows defender on windows 10 pro if you are having issues with auto-updating.
	When installing Theatre Manager Server on a Windows machine, log into the computer as the local administrator. This ensures the proper permissions are assigned to the service.
	You must not install or enable Microsoft's IIS server on the same machine as TM server configured for web services.
