3. Install PcVue
Insert the DVD into the DVD drive or launch the ISO file. If you have Auto Run
enabled, the set-up program will automatically start, otherwise you can start the
installation manually by locating and running SETUP.EXE from the DVD.

Step 1. Pre-select the PcVue features

 Click Install PcVue.

 Pre-select the PcVue main features. For the purpose of this training we just
need to select Libraries, Quick Start project and Demonstration project.

 Click Start the installation.

The other options are associated with web access and

the development toolkits both of which are outside the
scope of this course.
Step 2. Setup Pre-requisites

The set-up program checks the pre-requisites needed by PcVue and displays a
dialog listing the pre-requisite that will be installed. All the pre-requisites are on
the distribution media. Click Install to continue.

The list of pre-requisites can be found in the following Help

topic:

Components

The set-up program does not install SQL Server Express

Edition.
During the installation process for pre-requisites the PC may have to be restarted one
or more times. When the installation of the components is complete, the main
Supervisor installation procedure starts.
Step 3. Main PcVue set-up
 Select the language for the installation. As this course is in English, select
English and then OK to continue. See also the important note below about
the installation language.
 You may then be asked to install the protection key driver (Sentinel). Click
Install to continue.
 The main PcVue Installation Wizard then starts. Click the Next button until
you reach the License Agreement. Read the agreement and, if you accept
the terms and conditions, select I accept the terms of the license agreement.
 Click Next button until you reach the dialog box with the title: Product and
Projects Folders. See below.
 Click the Next buttons until you reach the Setup Type dialog. Select
Typical/Preselected which installs the software options according to your pre-

The installation language is also used for the following:

 The Supervisor's startup language (that is, the
language for any text displayed before the project is
loaded).
 The first project language.
 The first display language.

If you have more than one drive on your PC it is

recommended that the project folder is NOT on the
system drive.

Don't select a network drive as a project location as it

may result in erroneous behavior.

4. Uninstall PcVue
You can uninstall PcVue, like any software, by using the Add/Remove tool of
Windows.

The set-up program doesn’t uninstall any pre-requisties,

the Sentinel driver (the dongle driver) or the BacNet
