AutoTx Service Installation

The AutoTx service doesn't have a conventional installer but rather has to be registered using the InstallUtil.exe tool coming with the .NET framework.

Using The Installation Script

A PowerShell script to help with the installation is provided with each AutoTx package. To use the script, follow these steps:

• Log on to the computer using an account with adminstrative privileges.
• Edit the ScriptsConfig.ps1 settings file, adjust the values according to your setup.
• Open a PowerShell console using the Run as Administrator option. The script Run-ElevatedPowerShell.ps1 can be used to start a shell with elevated permissions.
• Navigate to the installation package directory, run the Install-Service.ps1 script.
• Supply the two required configuration files in the conf/ subdirectory of the service installation location and start the service using Start-Service AutoTx.

Manual Installation Instructions

PLEASE NOTE: these instructions are mostly for documentation purposes, by default it is strongly recommended to use the installation script described above.
