  3. Click Install Tools & Utilities.
  4. Accept the License and Services Agreement.
  5. On the Configure Installation page, select Autodesk Vault Office 2019 (Server) .
  6. By default the Vault Office server is installed to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\. Click the Browse button to select a different location.
  7. Click Install.
  8. Once the Vault Office Server is installed, you can install the Vault Office Thin Client on your server machine or the Vault Office thick client on your client machine. If desired, you can also include the Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook Vault add-ins with either client installation.
