Installation tasks

1. Before you start installing a new Monitor one version, make a backup of your existing projects. A new version usually makes changes to the names and format of fields in database.
2. Make sure you have administrative rights before you begin the installation.
3. If you are running the Monitor one installation file in a terminal-server session (mstsc.exe), make sure you have specified the /console option. The database engine included in the installation file (Firebird) can only be installed via the system console OR via a terminal-server session with the /console option!
4. If you want to upgrade to a newer version, de-install your existing Monitor one installation including all components (Firebird and Apache) first.

Because of the special-purpose nature of an NMS (Network Monitoring Station) Monitor one is installed on the local hard disk of a Windows workstation (or server) and uses a fixed LOCAL installation directory structure to prevent system crashes if serious network failures occurs!
