As many of you have requested ACS7 setup on Windows Platform as well, I am here with another part of step by step series on ACS installation.
What we need before we start doing setup?

- Tomcat: Tomcat 9.0.62
- ActiveMQ: ActiveMQ v5.16.2. Mandatory for transformation services when using enterprise version (async transform service) and/or Out of process extensions. Check this out for Local Transformation Service (community version option).

Note: If you are planning to setup ACS-7.2.0 (Enterprise version) and ASS-2.0.3, then download the appropriate distribution packages from Alfresco Support portal. All the steps outlined below will remain same. We are using community version of ACS 7.2 for this post hence we have to use ASS 2.0.3 as stated in the Supported platforms here
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk11-archive-downloads.html
Note: Make sure you set the JAVA_HOME environment variable (on windows). It is the installation path of jdk. E.g. JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15
https://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.62/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.62-windows-x64.zip
Note: Make sure ports 8005, 8080, 8443, AJP port 8009 are open and not in use already. These are default ports used for tomcat. If you have these ports already in use, make sure you change the ports accordingly in <TOMCAT_INSTALLATION>/conf/server.xml.
Download ActiveMQ v5.16.2 binary package (used for transformation service):
Download and Install PostgreSQL 13.x:
Alternatively you can also download the binary package and extract it. No installation needed. It is useful if you have trouble doing installation on Windows 10.
Download PostgreSQL 13.x binary
Note: Make sure port 5432 is open and not already in use. Port 5432 is default for postgres to get db connection. If you have this port already in use, make sure you select a different port and use the same while configuring alfresco-global.properties.
Optional Alfresco module packages (amps)-Useful for admins/developers:
*** Updated this post to provide prerequisites to install ACS 7.3.x and other related components. All the below given steps should be pretty much the same. You can find more details here ***
