Installation#

Use this page to install EventReporter and prepare the system for initial configuration.

Before you begin#

Make sure that:

  • the target system runs a supported version of Windows

  • you have local administrative rights for the installation

  • the system can install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or a newer .NET Framework 4.x release for the Configuration Client if it is not yet present

  • you know whether this system will run the full product or only the background service in a deployment scenario

  • if this is a service-only target, the Configuration Client is not required on that system and the .NET Framework requirement applies where the client is installed and used

Supported platforms#

Current EventReporter releases are intended for modern Windows versions, including Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025, and newer compatible releases.

For detailed platform notes, see System Requirements.
