    Info
    titleNote
    When you install and uninstall the software, event logging as well as the list of objects that exceed the limit of the license key are logged to the psim.log and uninstall.log files correspondinglythe event logging is performed in the PSIMSetup.log log file. To collect log files, we recommend using the Support.exe utility (see see The utility for collecting configuration data on servers and RWS for the Technical Support section).

    The dialog window for selecting the components for installation is displayed.
  7. Set the checkboxes next to the components that you want to install (you can expand the lists by clicking ). Consider the following peculiarities when you select the components:
    1. We recommend installing all provided components—the Axxon PSIM installer sets checkboxes next to everything required for proper operation by default.
    2. To operate in Axxon PSIM, you must install Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 or later. Usually it is bundled with Windows OS and doesn't require separate installation. If you don't have it, then .Net 4.6 is offered for installation at Prerequisites—make sure to set the checkbox. For more information about Microsoft.Net Framework, see the official documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/.
    3. To install the Guardant drivers in the Windows OS, you must disable "Memory integrity" (see the Microsoft documentation Enable virtualization-based protection of code integrity). If you don't disable "Memory integrity" beforehand, then during driver installation the warning indicating the necessity of disabling it appears, and Windows security settings open. If you click OK without changing the Windows Os settings, during the installation process, the installation continues successfully, but the Guardant drivers aren't installed (you can install them later, see Using the Product.msi and Redist.exe for Axxon PSIM™ software installation):
    4. If you perform the installation not from the disk, then at this stage, you can select the installed languages. To do this, download the LanguagePack language pack from the AxxonSoft official website www.axxonsoft.com before starting the installation, and put the archive's files in the languages folder in the installer's directory. As a result, the Additional languages list is displayed in the offered Components for installation of the Selecting components for installation window, and you can select the languages that must be installed.
      Info
      titleNote

      If this method of language installation isn't suitable, later you can install each language separately (see Installing the language). After the installation, use the tweaki.exe utility to switch languages (see Switching languages in the Axxon PSIM Software System).
