How to Install Micro-Vu InSpec

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have full administrator rights on the computer you will be installing InSpec on. If you are unsure about this, contact your company’s IT department for assistance.
  • Back up your calibration data folder. For Windows 7+, this can be done by navigating to C:ProgramData in File Explorer and copying the entire Micro-Vu Corporation folder. Store the copy somewhere safe such as a USB drive.

    Warning: Proceeding without admin rights may result in a failed installation/corruption of files.

Step 1

Right-click on the installation file you were provided (ex. InSpec 2.97.7.exe), and choose Run as administrator.

You may see a User Account Control window appear which will ask you to confirm that you want to run the program. Choose Yes to continue the installation.

You may also be required to enter the username and password of an admin account during this step in order to continue.

Confirm your calibration data

Launch the InSpec software and select Machine then View Calibration Results.

In the Calibration Results window, click through each tab and confirm that all of your calibration data is present.

If there is no data present, close InSpec then simply copy the backup we made earlier and paste it into C:ProgramData. Reopen InSpec and confirm that the calibration data exists.
