Installation of Software
NOTE: Before beginning the installation procedure, make sure that
no other applications are currently running on the host PC. This
includes MS Office
®
and any other utilities. These can interfere with
proper installation, resulting in software conflicts.
The VitalSense Application Program software is distributed as a
MicroSoft
®
Installation package (.msi) file.
If you have Windows
®
2000 or XP, simply double-click on the filename
and follow the instructions. The default installation path is \Program Files\
VitalSense.
Earlier versions of Windows may require installing the Microsoft Installer
program on your computer. This program can be obtained as a free
download from the Microsoft Website. A copy of Microsoft Installer
version 2.0 for Windows 95/98/ME (InstmsiA.exe), and for Windows NT
SP6/Windows 2000 (InstmsiW.exe) is supplied on the VitalSense CD.
Windows XP comes with Microsoft Installer 2.0 pre-installed.
