Overview of tasks
The checklist in this section summarizes the basic tasks involved in installing FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition along with supporting software. The FactoryTalk View Setup
Wizard automatically determines which applications and tools should be included.
Task checklist for installing FactoryTalk View
 Ensure that the user installing the software has administrative rights in Windows.
 Disable automatic Windows updates.
 Locate the serial numbers for all the products you will be installing or updating. Serial
numbers are generally on the original packaging of the installation media.
 Schedule downtime for the system if you are upgrading operating applications or
replacing computers during the installation.
Ensure that the current Windows user has administrative
rights
As part of the installation process, FactoryTalk View creates program folders and
modifies registry entries.
For this part of the process to succeed, the user installing the software must have
administrative rights in Windows on the computer where the software is being installed.
For example, the Windows domain Administrator account has these rights and will be
able to install FactoryTalk View software.
RSNetWorx v21.00 or later is also available in Studio Professional v21.00 or later.
If you are planning to upgrade your operating system from an earlier version to
Windows XP Professional,
see Answer ID 29104 (previously Tech Note
#P88739858) for information about how to perform the upgrade. If you do not
follow the recommended procedure, you will no longer be able to create or use
FactoryTalk View applications.
