Install XProtect Update Manager using the installation wizard

To install the relevant XProtect Update Manager components:

  1. Download XProtect Update Manager from the Milestone software download page (https://www.milestonesys.com/download/).

  2. Double-click on the file to launch the installer. The welcome window is displayed.

    Select Continue.

  3. Read the Milestone End-user License Agreement. Select the I accept the terms in the license agreement check box and click Continue.

  4. Select the components to install:

    • XProtect Update Manager Service. The server downloads and stores the update files and communicates with the update agents. Install the server on a host in your network that is reachable by the update agents.

    • XProtect Update Manager Agent. Install the update agent on every host with an XProtect component.

    • XProtect Update Manager Client. Install the desktop application on any host from which you want to view and update your XProtect components.

    Then, select Continue.

  5. Select an installation folder. If you have selected to install the update agent or client on a computer without an update server, specify the update server address.

    Do not use localhost as the update server address.

    Select Continue.

  6. When installing the XProtect Update Manager Service component.

    If you are installing the update server together with other components or standalone, specify the certificate you want to use to secure the connection between the XProtect Update Manager components:

    • System-generated certificate - let the wizard generate a self-signed certificate and install it in the Personal store of the local computer.

    • Your own certificate - select an existing certificate. The wizard displays only certificates in the .pfx format. The certificates must be installed in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store on your local computer.

    Select Continue.

  7. When installing the XProtect Update Manager Agent component. If you are installing the update agent together with the client component or standalone and you have selected to use a system-generated certificate, you must add the secure connection key.

    Select Continue.

Once the installation is complete, a list of the installed components appears.
