  • Run each file as administrator in the following order (listed by filename):
    • VitalSignsPrerequisites(xx-bit).exe
    • Each Feature Enabler
    • AllInOneNew Vxx.exe
  • Follow the setup Wizard instructions for each executable
    • If you do not use your own SQL server instance, please accept the default SQL credentials
    • If you are not setting up a VitalSigns High Availability (HA) environment, please select Next with the default selections
    • If you are setting up VitalSigns HA, then you need to decide if this is the primary node (the one which will host the front end) or a secondary node (which will perform monitoring only).
