After you have selected the platform that best suits your needs and have installed the
FactoryTalk Historian ME into the chassis, you will then determine the configuration
environment for the FactoryTalk Historian ME client tools. The client tools can be found on
the CD that was shipped with the FactoryTalk Historian ME
Insert the CD into your computer’s CD drive. If autoplay is turned on, the FactoryTalk
Historian ME installation screen will automatically launch and display the FactoryTalk
Historian ME installation options. If the screen does not automatically launch, click Start >
Run and type D:\setup, where D is the letter of your CD drive.
The FactoryTalk Historian ME Client Tools installation screen allows you to perform the
following tasks:

A patch for FactoryTalk View SE and electronic data sheet (EDS) files are also available on

before you continue. If you do not plan to use FactoryTalk Historian Client Tools, then skip to
“Logging In to the FactoryTalk Historian ME”.
