Walking through the installation Wizard
· The Installation Wizard Welcome Screen will show up.
· Please click Next and you will be shown the license agreement.
· You must accept this agreement to install the software!
· Then, click Next to continue. This opens the Select Destination Window:
· The Select Destination Window allows you to install PRTG Traffic Grapher at the default location (C:\Program Files\PRTG Traffic Grapher) or allows you to choose another location from the list. When you have selected a destination, click the Next Button. This will bring up the Select Additional Tasks Window.
· Note: When installing for the first time selecting a location other than the default location will not interfere with the program’s operation. If you install an update (of the same major version number) you MUST select the same location as for the initial installation. Accepting the default is strongly recommended!
· The Select Components window allows you to select which elements to install with PRTG.
· The SNMP Helper Installation files can be used to install this helper utility on machines you want to monitor (see the Paessler SNMP Helper section for more information)
· Click Next to continue. This opens the Select Additional Tasks Window:
· The Select Additional Tasks Window allows you to Enable or Disable the access to PRTG’s web server in the Windows Firewall. You must enable this configuration to access the monitoring results in the web interface from a remote computer. If you do not choose to enable this configuration here you must later add the necessary firewall exception in the Windows Firewall settings manually.
· You can also choose to install the PRTG Watchdog service (recommended) which restarts the PRTG service in case you forget to start it manually or in case of an unrecoverable failure.
· The Installation Window displays PRTG Traffic Grapher’s installation progress. After installation you can optionally start the program immediately.
When the installation is complete the computer may ask you to restart the machine to finish the installation. Although you can choose to reboot later, it is strongly recommended to reboot the machine right now to fully complete the installation!
