This section describes how to install SmartPlant Instrumentation and supporting software. Before you begin installing the software, verify that the computers on which the software features will be installed meet the requirements described in Hardware and Software Recommendations.
Installing SmartPlant Instrumentation requires that you remove any previous versions
of SmartPlant Instrumentation and the Enhanced Report Utility. It is important that all components installed with SmartPlant Instrumentation, for
example Rule Manager, Import Utility, Enhanced Reports Utility and so forth, are closed
before you attempt to remove (uninstall) SmartPlant Instrumentation.
When installing on Windows with the User Account Control setting at the default level,
if you are not logged on as an Administrator, you should run setup.exe as an Administrator
user. To do this, select setup.exe, right-click and then select the Run as administrator option. If not logged on as an Administrator, you will be prompted for Administrator
credentials to allow you to continue the setup.
