 Top  Previous  Next

The Automater can be installed on the following Microsoft Operating systems:

 

 

•Windows 2000
•Windows XP
•Windows 2003
•Windows Vista
•Windows 7
•Windows 8

 

To install the program, just double click on the .exe file and follow the on screen instructions.  The default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Net-Sense.

 

The first time The Automater is run, it will create a "user" working directory (known as SCRIPT_HOME) and install some user specific files.  Different from earlier versions of The Automater, now each user will have their own working directory (where all script log files are stored). The default location of the "working" directory  varies depending on the Version of MS Windows.  The table below shows the default location for the working directory as well as the directory location of the User Configuration file (setup.var)

 

OS

C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Roaming\Net-Sense

Windows 7

Note: The working directory can be changed by opening the GUI and choosing Options->Settings and changing the SCRIPT_HOME variable.
