WebWatchBot 5.1.4 Install Guide

This step-by-step guide is for the installation of WebWatchBot 5.1.4.

Before using this guide, you should register to download the latest version of WebWatchBot.
Current customers, DO NOT UNINSTALL VERSION 4 until you read this KB article: KB: Customers Migrating from WebWatchBot Version 4 to Version 5

 

Choosing the right setup to download

WebWatchBot 5.1.4 uses Microsoft SQL Server to store the data that it collects for maximum efficiency and scalability.

WebWatchBot can either use an existing installation of SQL Server (2000, 2005) or it can install the free desktop version of SQL Server (MSDE: Microsoft Sql Server Desktop Engine) automatically for you with no added cost or special licensing.

 

Choose the setup based on the statement that best fits you

  "I DON'T have Microsoft SQL Server or I am not sure"
Choose WebWatchbot 5.1.4 with MSDE - this setup will install MSDE (Microsoft Sql Server Desktop Engine) automatically for you on the same computer WebWatchBot is installed on.

This setup is for installations not using an existing Sql Server 2000 instance or MSDE.

Do not install this setup on a machine with Sql Server 2000 or MSDE already installed. ( WebWatchBot with MSDE Installation Guide)
  "I have Microsoft SQL Server"
Choose WebWatchBot 5.1.4 for SQL Server - this setup will install WebWatchBot on a computer and store its data on an existing instance of SQL Server 2000, 2005 or MSDE.
ExclamationSoft recommends using SQL Server 2005. ( WebWatchBot for SQL Server Installation Guide)
