Enabling Windows Installer

The Vocera installation program requires the Windows Installer service.

The Microsoft Windows Installer is a service of the Windows operating system that simplifies application installation. By default, Microsoft installs and enables this service as part of the operating system installation.

If you have disabled this service for some reason, the Vocera installation will display a dialog box notifying you of this requirement and then exit.

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
    The Services dialog box appears, displaying the list of installed Windows services.
  2. Double-click the Windows Installer service.
    The Windows Installer Properties dialog box appears. By default, the General pane is visible.
  3. Make sure the value of the Startup Type field is set to Manual, and set it if necessary.
  4. Click OK.
    The Windows Installer Properties dialog box closes, saving your changes.
