How to install the Pulseway agent on Windows

Written by Paul Csiki

Windows Pre-requirement - Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718

Before you start downloading Pulseway, you need to know what your Windows architecture is.

To find out whether you’re running a 64bit or a 32bit operating system, you need to go to the Control Panel and go to System. There, you will need to look for your System Architecture.

After you find your system architecture, go to http://www.pulseway.com/downloads and download the appropriate version for your system: Pulseway for Windows x64 (64-bit) or the x86 (32-bit).

The "Downloads" section has MSI Files for all supported OS and their different architectures -

While downloading an MSI, Pulseway asks for the Organization, Site, and Agent Group of the required installer, so as to provide a customized file for those specifications.

Once the Org/Site/Agent group is specified, Pulseway provides the option to directly download the MSI and also to obtain a download link to the MSI.

This download link eliminates the need to attach a whole Installer file to an email. You can simply share the MSI download link with Customers over email, who can deploy the Agent onto their systems with ease.

After you download the installer, follow the instructions in the setup screen, and a Pulseway icon will be automatically created on your Desktop.
