This video demonstrates the steps to install and run PI Vision 2020.
It is divided into the following sections.
Navigate to the location on your computer where you have PI Vision install kit downloaded.
Remember, before you install PI Vision here you need to run the installation as an account that is
in the local administrators group. Right-click the install file and then click run as administrator.
Extract the files to a location of your choosing. When the process is complete
you will see a list of components that will be installed. Notice that one of the components
is Microsoft.net framework 4.8. This will likely require a restart of the machine.
Click ok to continue. When the.net framework
install is complete click finish and then click restart now to reboot your machine.
After the machine reboots enter the default asset server and default data server in the
prompts and click next. You can specify a custom location for the PI home installation directories
or keep the default c drive location. The installation process will continue.
Next, we will begin the PI AF client 2018 sp3 patch 3 installation. Click next. Decide whether
you want to participate in our customer experience improvement program and then click next. You can
optionally enable the management plugin feature by clicking here. Click next to continue. If you
do not have Microsoft Excel installed on this machine you will see a message here to let you
know that PI Builder will not be installed since Excel is not available. Click install.
The final part of the install is the PI Vision installation wizard. Click next. Click continue
to acknowledge that you comply with the laws, rules, and regulations for cookies.
The next part of the process checks for any missing required windows features. Leave
the install missing windows features now option checked. Click continue. In this pop-up click ok.
Again, decide whether you want to participate in our customer experience improvement program
and then click next. Click next again. Since we just installed the web server, we
only have the default website listed here. If you have an existing web server, you can select your
website here, if you are not using the default website. Click next and then click install.
After the process completes click finish. Then
click next. Our machine now requires a reboot so we will click yes to restart the machine now.
Once the machine has been rebooted you can see that the PI Vision 2020 setup was successful.
Click close. Close server manager. PI Vision 2020 is now installed.
We need to make sure that the PI Vision application pools are running under the correct
account in the internet information services manager. In the IIS manager click the web server
and then click application pools. Here we can see the admin service and utility application pools.
Right-click one of them and then click advanced settings to change their identity.
Scroll to the identity settings, double-click it, and select custom account. Click set,
enter your username and password, click ok and then click ok again. Verify that enable
32-bit applications is set to false. Click ok. Repeat these steps for the remaining app pools.
When you're finished your app pools are running under the custom domain account.
In the IIS manager, click the web server and then click sites to display the list of websites on
your machine's IIS server. Locate the site that has the PI Vision application installed under it.
By default, and in our case, this is default website. Click bindings. In the site bindings
dialog box click the https row and then click edit. In the edit site bindings dialog box
click the drop-down list below SSL certificate and then select a different certificate which
will be bound to the port selected in this binding for your IIS website.
The certificate we selected is trusted by browser clients and will prevent certificate warnings
from occurring when users visit PI Vision. Click ok. We have now verified that we have
the right permissions and certificate and we have successfully installed PI Vision on this machine.
From here you will finish configuring PI Vision.
