Windows Installation

Optional - Depending on the environment, there may be a need to install additional tools to run VirtServer.

For example, if you need to download ReadyAPI, you need a tool like cURL.

Script: npm install curl

Use an appropriate tool (for example, cURL) to download a version of VirtServer.

Script: curl -o <Download Location>\VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.exe

https://dl.eviware.com/virtserver/3.17.0/VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.exe

Install VirtServer from the downloaded location.

When installing VirtServer, there are additional parameter options that can be specified. For example, you may want to install and start VirtServer as a service.

Script: <Download Location>\VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.exe -q -Dservice.install=true -Dservice.autostart=true

Running services may take a few seconds to become available, so you may want to add an optional delay before proceeding to the next step.

Script: 'Start-Sleep -Seconds 60'
