Hyper Historian Collector Installation

The following steps detail installation of Collectors from ICONICS' Hyper Historian installation media.

See Hyper Historian Collector System Requirements.

Note: You cannot install any 10.8x or later product from Remote Desktop when using a shared drive. In such instances, it is suggested that you copy the installation's sources to a local drive or share the drive via Windows networking rather than via Remote Desktop.

Note: If your operating system requires a login name, you must log in with administrator capability before installing Hyper Historian software.

To run the Hyper Historian applications, you must be logged into the operating system with an account that is a member of the Administrators group or the Power Users group.

Before installing ICONICS software, be sure that all other applications are closed and/or disabled.
Insert the Hyper Historian product DVD into your DVD-ROM drive. If Autorun is enabled on your system, the DVD introduction starts automatically. Otherwise, browse to your DVD-ROM drive and run the Default.hta file.

An Open File – Security Warning dialog box may open, notifying you of an Unknown Publisher and asking if you are sure you wish to proceed in installing the software. Click Run to continue.
The Hyper Historian installation starts and displays the following Menu screen.
