Notes on installing EASY Starter

          

      Question:
What has to be considered with the installation of Lenze software EASY Starter and what arguments are supported?

      Answer:
General information     
  • For installation administration rights are required.
  • The installation program requires the installation of  a certain version of .NET Framework and will install it if necessary.                      
  • It is recommended to execute the setup file on the local computer. When executing the setup file directly from a network drive, it may happen that existing antivirus software erroneously displays a risk.
  • The AKB article 'Offline packages for Lenze engineering tools' describes how to create the necessary files (packages) for PCs that do not have an Internet connection.

    • In this mode no user interaction during installation procedure is necessary.
