Installing the Carbonite Replication Console

Use these instructions to install the Carbonite Replication Console on a Windows machine.

1. Close any open applications.

3. Select your installation language.
4. When the installation program begins, the Autorun appears allowing you to install software and view documentation and online resources. To install the console, select any of the product installation links.
5. Depending on your version of Windows and the components you have installed, you may be prompted to install one or more Visual C++ security updates. These components are required. If you do not see this screen, you already have these security updates.
6. Also depending on your version of Windows and the components you have installed, you may need to install or enable Microsoft .NET Framework. If you do not see this screen, your server already has the appropriate version of Microsoft .NET. You must install or enable Microsoft .NET before installing Carbonite Replication Console. Select Yes to install or enable Microsoft .NET and click Continue.

7. You will be given the opportunity to check for a more recent version of the software.
