This is a
straightforward post to do since there’s really not much to an install of WFA
4.1 on Windows - it’s very simple - also I did a WFA
3.1 install post just 1 year ago.

Installing OnCommand Workflow Automation 4.1
Refer to the “OnCommand
Workflow Automation 4.1: Installation and Setup Guide for Windows” for proper
instructions.
Logged in as a local administrative user - say DOMAIN\WFAADMIN
(note that the instructions do say log in to Windows using the default local
administrator account, but many organizations will disable/disallow this) - you
can either install WFA 4.1 interactively by right-clicking the WFA install
executable and selecting “Run as administrator” and answering the prompts -
