Published: June 11, 2010

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Vista
The Application Compatibility Toolkit Data Collector (ACT-DC) installation package consists of a self-extracting executable file that contains the configuration manifest and an installation file for ACT-DC and its compatibility evaluators. The installer does the following:
-
Creates the ACT-DC program and the application data folders.
-
Installs the ACT-DC components, copying all the included files and components to the appropriate folders.
-
Launches compatibility evaluator-specific installation actions, if applicable.
By default, all folders and files that the installer creates for local data and logs are secure from modification by non-administrative users. The ACT-DC components and compatibility evaluators run as LocalSystem, LocalService, or NetworkService. Read and write access to the local data and log folders must be granted to the local Administrators, LocalSystem, LocalService, and NetworkService groups. The installer registers the ACT-DC service, starting it as LocalSystem.

| The installer detects the Windows® operating system version and installs only the appropriate components. |
Command-Line Options for the ACT-DC Installation Package
The command-line options use the following conventions:
afsetup.exe [/quiet] [/qf] [/clean] [/uninstall {/clean}] [/loc pathfile_path] [/logfile_path] [/mfile_path] [/? | /help]
The following table describes the available command-line options.

||
|
/qf |
Performs the installation with visible error reporting. For example, afsetup.exe /qf |
