Installation

The Installation wizard installs both Niagara Framework® and Workbench on a Supervisor or engineering workstation.

Launch the installation program by running one of the Installer files located in the files extracted from a downloaded software zip file (or possibly in an installation CD).

NOTE: Installation files can vary from one vendor (org) to another, consequently some installation items or dialog options mentioned in this document may not appear. Conversely, some files may include additional installation items or options that are not covered in this document. As needed, consult the technical support resource for your brand and sales channel.

Niagara 4 promotes security by storing system files and user files in separate home folders. The daemon home folder defaults to ProgramData\Niagara4.n\brand (where n is the software version and brand is your product name). Beginning with Niagara 4.4, you can change the location of the daemon home. Look for this option when running the Installation wizard.

The system writes the new location to the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\wb.exe\installations along side the other install (latest/N4latest) registry keys it maintains. If this registry key exists, the Windows NRE uses the location specified. If the key does not exist, the installation uses the default: ProgramData\Niagara4.nbrand (where n is the software version and brand is your product name).

Close other applications before you run one of the Installer files.
