My notes (questions) from a full installation using the .exe:
Requirements for installation indicate support for only Chrome 51 and Firefox 45 which is different than the standard ThingWorx requirements doc noting that MANY manufacturers do not allow/support installation of browsers other than Internet Explorer
Apache Tomcat is not actually "installed" to easily find components (like the Configuration and/or Monitor) and moreover it's buried in the install directory In a PTC_Servlet_Engine directory and the executables themselves re-named "ThingworxServer". The primary issue is that this is not matching the installation guide but secondarily it's completely different than a standard ThingWorx platform install - possibly a bigger support issue?
The link in the guide/doc for the 'test' install (the console mashup) is not correct (http vs https) and includes extra spaces...i.e. it cant be clicked or copy/pasted into the browser URL
The installation configures the web server with a connector configured to use SSL port 443 but the self signed cert is not verified/valid and prompts a user navigate unsafely to the link
The configuration guide instructs the user to set the KEPServerEX "Disable Encryption" property to "Yes" for testing but this will cause the server to error on connecting tot he ThingWorx instance as it's set to use SSL encryption (port 443)
Much of the configuration specified in the install guide (section 4) is already done, also see note above about Tomcat references
