3.11 Installing and Configuring the eG Agent on Windows
2008 / Windows Vista / Windows 7
The standard eG agent software for Windows is provided as a self-extracting set-up program called
eGAgent_win2008.exe, which should be used to install the eG agent on a Windows 2008 / Windows Vista/
Windows 7 server. By default, the eG agent is a 32-bit application. For agent deployments on 64-bit
Windows 2008 / Windows Vista / Windows 7 hosts therefore, use the eGAgent_win2008_x64.exe.
Note:
Before installing an eG agent on a Windows 2008 host, make sure that the VC 2008 (or above)

Windows 2008 host, you need to download the 32-bit VC 2008 (or above) runtime engine
from the URL, http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29. Prior to installing the eG agent

engine from the URL, http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=15336.

screen takes the user to the next step of the setup.
