For installing a new instance of VitalSigns on a machine, which has not had VitalSigns previously installed.

Our installer creates two web sites and an application pool under IIS. This will only work if IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility and IIS Management Scripts and Tools are installed. Our installer will attempt to install this automatically, but on some machines this is not finished by the time it is needed and the pre-req installer has to be run again. To avoid this, please take a moment to ensure that this feature is enabled before proceeding.

Download the feature enablers that relate to what you want to monitor.
