Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
You must install the

the gateway. You can always get the newest version of ProSoft Configuration

(http://www.prosoft-technology.com). The filename contains the version of PCB.
For example,
PCB_4.4.3.4.0245.exe
.

Note: To use the ProSoft Configuration Builder under the Windows 7 OS, you must be sure to
install it using the Run as Administrator option. To find this option, right-click the Setup.exe
program icon, and then click R
UN AS
A
DMINISTRATOR
on the context menu. You must install using
this option even if you are already logged in as an Administrator on your network or personal
computer (PC). Using the Run as Administrator option allows the installation program to create
folders and files on your PC with proper permissions and security.
If you do not use the Run as Administrator option, the ProSoft Configuration Builder may appear to
install correctly, but you will receive multiple file access errors whenever the ProSoft Configuration
Builder is running, especially when changing configuration screens. If this happens, you must
completely uninstall the ProSoft Configuration Builder and then re-install using the Run as
Administrator option to eliminate the errors.
