This section describes the pages displayed by the Plant SCADA installer and the setting required for a Runtime Only Client.
Use the Back and Next buttons to navigate through the included pages.
Note:
* If Plant SCADA was previously installed on a computer, you must uninstall it (and
some of its associated components) before you proceed. Plant SCADA will check for
these components prior to installation. If any are detected, a dialog will list the
components that need to be manually uninstalled.
* If the Plant SCADA installer detects any existing components that need to be upgraded
(for example, AVEVA Platform Common Services or AVEVA Enterprise Licensing), a dialog
will appear identifying the products that will be upgraded. Click OK to continue with the installation.

Access Restriction |
This page provides information about the local Windows groups the installer will create to manage security (see the section Windows User Groups and Security Roles in the topic Installation Information). Note: This page will only appear if you are installing Plant SCADA on a clean computer (one that has not hosted an earlier version). If you are upgrading from an earlier version, equivalent user groups will already exist on the computer. If you want your current Windows user account to be included in the groups that are being created, select Add the current Windows user to these groups. A dialog will let you know that the group membership changes will not occur until after a restart. |
