Now that EventConsolidator is installed properly, you are free to start the application and perform the necessary configuration steps.

Please note:
If you do not execute the setup file as Administrator, the setup will ask for administrative rights at some point of the installation.


If you would like to install EventConsolidator completely silent using the command-line interface, this can be achieved using the EvtConFull.exe Installer.
For this example, we'll install EventConsolidator to the default folder "C:\program files\EventConsolidator". Use the following command:

start /WAIT evtconfull.exe /s /w /v"/qn INSTALLDIR=C:\program files\EventConsolidator"
This will install EventConsolidator completely into "C:\program files\EventConsolidator" from the file EvtConFull.exe.

Please note:
Due to the new UAC of Windows Vista, it is not possible to run a installation with elevated rights from the command-line.
