Brand New Installation of Business Objects XIr2 Application Server

Question

Hello,
We have recently acquired Business Objects XI r2 as we are in the process of migrating from Business Objects 6.5.1
We currently use BO 6.5.1 on a small scale using Business Query via excel to access a remote Data Warehouse. I beleive we will now use Live Office in the new XI world.
We have acquired licenses for the following components, and I really would like some assistance on how to install them and in which order
Business Objects Enterprise Professional
Business Objects Live Office
Business Objects Web Intelligence
I have a windows 2003 server in place to host the application, but where do I start ? Which component do I need  to install first ?
Many thanks

Hmm, this is Redhat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 - it's basically a 'snapshot' of our existing dev system. 
One thing I have seen elsewhere is a problem with the libstdc++ compatability library, but it looks like that's installed (we tried tossing in a copy we had from CentOS, and got:
[root@bos-rep-bob01 ~]# rpm -ivh ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm
warning: ./compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64 (which is newer than compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386) is already installed
        package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386 (which is newer than compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386) is already installed
        file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 from install of compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386 conflicts with file from package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386
So it's installed, and pretty up to date.
