Figure 8-4: Remove Old Software
Be sure to select Remove before selecting Next.
Follow the Wizard prompts, selecting OK or Next as needed. After the process is complete, verify that
the VistaNET software no longer appears in the Control Panel/Programs.
After the old version of the VistaNET software has been uninstalled, if you plan to use an older version
of the RUI with an existing PGC5000, then you will need to copy the files and folder that were copied
to the temporary folder above back to C:\\Program Files\ABB\VistaNET 2.0.
At this point, installation of the STAR Core software can be performed on the PC per the STAR Data
Management System (DMS) Operating Instructions. Depending on the patch level of the Operating
System, the installation may require access to the internet to obtain the correct version of Microsoft
.NET Framework.
