  2. When you are done, click the Download link or the Download Now button.
    Note: Be sure to click the Download Now button for the product you want to install.
  3. Do one of the following:
  • If the software is downloaded automatically into a default folder, you see a download progress dialog box. Make a note of the directory (folder) and filename for the software that you are downloading.
  • If a "Save As" dialog box appears, choose a folder and filename for the software that you are downloading.

  1. After downloading is complete, you may see a "Download successful" dialog box. If you see this dialog box, click Install and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, continue with step 2.
  2. (Skip this step if installation has already started.) Open the folder into which the new software was downloaded, copy it to the target machine, and double-click the file that you downloaded. For instance, if you downloaded XpoLog Center, doubleclick the file named "XpoLogCenterSetup.exe". Depending on what you are installing, you may see the Install Anywhere dialog box.
  3. When the XpoLog Setup Welcome screen appears, read the information and click Next.
    Note: Read the instructions on the following screens. The screens vary depending on what you are installing, but in general you are asked to do some or all of the instructions in the following steps.
  4. Choose a destination directory (folder). This is the location where the new software will be installed, normally C:\Program Files\XpoLogCenter. If you install your new software into the XpoLog folder that contains your current version of the software, your current version will be overwritten. If you wish to keep a copy of the old version as a backup, simply choose or create a new folder for the software that you are about to install.
  5. Choose a name for the program group; the default is XpoLog. Then, click Next.
  6. Verify all the details in the preview screen and click Install.
    Note: if you want to edit any of the details that are presented in the preview screen, click Previous to return to the desired location.

    USER_INPUT_START_XPOLOG=1 (use 0 to prevent XpoLog from starting once the installation completes)
    USER_INPUT_SERVICE_NAME=XpoLogCenter (use a different service name if needed)

    - Note: ensure there are no spaces at the end of any of the lines in the file installer.properties
    - Note: ensure that you use backslash in the path before sings (For example, path: C:\Program Files\XpoLogCenter\ should be represented in the installer.properties file as C\:\\Program Files\\XpoLogCenter\\)
