How to install and configure a client computer.

Client installation

Installing LightsOut on the server creates a new folder \\Server\Software\LightsOut. This folder contains the client installer LightsOutClientInstall.exe

Open and install this file on every client computer which should be able to wake up your server. This process will also install the online help file on your client computer. 

The installer checks that Windows Home Server Connector is installed on the client computer. When no connector is found, the installation is aborted. 

Step 1, Select Language 

 

Step 2, Welcome screen 

 

Step 3, Installation 

 

Step 4, Finished. 

 

Update

A licensed version of Lights-Out will automatically update all clients. Users of the Community Edition have to rerun LightsOutClientInstall.exe. A previous version is automatically detected and uninstalled.

Operation

The LightsOut Client Service runs in background. For configuration and operation a small application is running, visible as a bulb in the tray. For details have a look at using the client software.

Uninstallation

Use control panel -> Applications.
