NEW KB OF THE MONTH
Windows Installation Using Setup Wizard
You are here:
← All Topics
LabCollector is installed using the Setup wizard (On XP, Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10, Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016).
See the manual in PDF at the end of this KB for more details.
If the installation appears to have problems when using the Setup wizard look at the Knowledge Base entries for Installation and system configuration for guidance.
Be aware that the LabCollector Server Manager will be the first item you see after installation.
You can open a particular instance of LabCollector using the button 
.
Note that you can administer many features from the Server Manager. The Help menu provides direct access to the Server Manager manual.
You will then be presented with a screen such as this:
Select the instance you desire. The default name is ‘lab’.
Finally use the default login credential to access LabCollector (as shown in the screenshot below).
Upon logging in you will be presented with a screen like this which represents the home page of LabCollector.
