Installing MetaManager™

Installation

MetaManager™ is installed on a per user basis, and each user must have a license key assigned from BSP Software. In the event you have not received your license key, please contact BSP Software via the support website. To install the product, you must:

»  Ensure that you have downloaded the most current version of MetaManager™ from the BSP Software site as described above.

▸  MetaManager.zip is the 32-bit version of MetaManager™
▸  MetaManager64.zip is the 64-bit version of MetaManager™

NOTE: The associated .exe file is only required when the user installing MetaManager™ does not have the prerequisite .net files installed prior to the installation of MetaManager™. In this event, the setup.exe will be executed automatically when the .msi is initiated.

NOTE: When installing this product on a Microsoft Windows Operating System where User Access Control (UAS) is enabled, you may need to execute the MetaManagerWixSetup.msi with escalated privileges for this installation to complete properly. This can be simply performed but right-clicking on the MetaManagerWixSetup.msi and choosing the option to "Run as Administrator." Note that Administrative Privileges is not the same as User Account Control(UAC) controls under "Run as Administrator" which escalates the install privileges on the file and emulates full rights and control over folders, files, registry, etc.

»  Navigate to the location of the MetaManagerSetup.msi file, and *double click to initiate the installation.

▸ At the MetaManager installation Welcome Screen, select Next.

▸ At the License Agreement screen, please review the License, Maintenance and Support Agreement carefully.

▸ After reviewing and agreeing with the terms and conditions, select the radio button next to I Agree and select Next.

▸ Enter a desired location for the installation files. By default, the product will install to C:\Program Files\BSP\MetaManager or C:\Program Files (x86)\BSP\MetaManager. Select Next.

▸ At the Confirm Installation screen, review your selections and when ready to install, select Next.

▸ At the Installation Complete screen, select Close.
