Installation

83

Run setup.exe. The setup asks for a target directory. The default target
directory is C:\Program Files\Rockwell
Software\FactoryTalk Historian\Server\PIPC, the default
location for FactoryTalk Historian client products. If you have other PI
software installed, the setup defaults to the location of the existing pipc
directory.

Depending on the target operating system and existing software, setup may
install several required system components. Or, you may be directed to run
the Prerequisites setup kit. You may be required to reboot your system one
or more times during the setup process.

The installation process creates diagnostic files that are useful for
troubleshooting.

After the installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
