Installing vRanger

The installation of vRanger has several options. Unless you have a valid reason not to, Quest recommends that you accept the defaults wherever possible. The installation follows this sequence:

1
Launch the installer, and accept the vRanger license.
The install process does not continue until the license is accepted.
2
Choose an installation directory.
3
Enter the credentials under which the vRanger services should run.
Use credentials that have local administrator privileges on the vRanger machine.
4
Select the vRanger database.
You may choose to install vRanger with a new instance of SQL Server® Express or on an existing SQL Server. You also need to configure DB credentials now.
The installation completes.

For more information, see the Quest vRanger Installation/Upgrade Guide.
