Running WhatsUp Setup

To install WhatsUp Gold using the default Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition instance:

1. Log in directly to Microsoft Windows using the Administrator account (if you do not have an account called Administrator, use an account that has full administrative privileges to the computer).

   Caution: We do not recommend using Terminal Services or Remote Desktop to install any WhatsUp product.

2. Start the WhatsUp Setup:
   • If you downloaded an electronic version of the WhatsUp Setup, double-click the downloaded file.
   • If you purchased a WhatsUp Setup CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM into the appropriate drive. If it does not run automatically, click Start, select Run, then enter the CD path followed by AutoRun.exe (for example, D:\AutoRun.exe).
