Downloading the installer

When you initiate a browser connection to the station the pre-login window provides a link under the login dialog that reads: “To connect using Niagara Web Launcher click here”. Clicking this link downloads and auto-runs the installer file.

NOTE: If the installer does not automatically run. Access the NiagaraWebLauncher*.msi file in your browser’s downloads location and double-click the file to run the setup wizard shown below. You may notice another file, <stationName>.nwl is downloaded to the same location. This is a text file containing information that tells Web Launcher how to connect to that particular station. So on subsequent connections, there is no need to download and run the *.msi installer file again. Instead you could double-click the *.nwl file which launches webLauncher.exe.

Once the installer launches the Niagara Web Launcher Setup Wizard, you can close the browser or you can go to a different web page while the setup wizard runs and installs the executable file.
