Good point !

You could very well be right, it's not a big deal either way, it obviously does not hurt them if personal home users use it and could very well get them business clients if the home user recommends it to a business owner they know.

Think about it, they deliberately made "business name" a mandatory field instead of leaving it as optional, that is fairly obvious.

Please don't misunderstand, I do appreciate that they have a free version, so I'm not meaning to sound like I'm complaining, just mildly frustrated that I didn't know upfront that the Home version would not work, my fault, next time I'll try to remember to check minimum requirements first...

Okay, thanks for sharing that, I wish they had that info right on the download page to alert people before even getting started, I had to do a search to find that page - Milestone Systems product system requirements (my Windows 10 Home version did have IIS available to install, and it did...

Okay, I manually installed IIS again, rebooted, and tried installing the Milestone software again but still get the same error message saying IIS was not automatically installed and needed to be installed manually, even though it WAS already installed manually. So unless someone has a solution...

Thanks, It didn't ask me to reboot after installing the IIS, but it did ask me to reboot when I took it back off. Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow with rebooting after installing IIS again but before reinstalling the milestone software, can't hurt to try, if that don't work I'll just...

And I have previously spend a LOT of time searching thru them as well as elsewhere on the web and other forums, I'll just have to keep looking and eventually find the solution I need. Thanks again for responding, it is appreciated !

Thanks for the reply, iVMS-4500 on my windows phone works great, and the iVMS-4200 client works great on my computer for live views and manually recording video and taking snapshots, the only problem I have is that I not been able to figure out is why the iVMS-4200 can "see" my HDD to record to...

Well I am not a company that needs to monitor 50 cameras, I just have one camera I want to monitor and have auto record when motion is detected, surely someone out there has made software to do that simple task without having to wipe everything else off your computer.

I have many useful programs that I use regularly, I can't simply uninstall all my software I use for other things just so one other software can work, this is my computer I use for everyday things.

on that thread it asked "Are you running any 3rd party apps to turn off telemetry data back to Microsoft?" but I am not using any software to do that. Why does iVMS-4200 client install but the milestone software will not ?

I searched and found how to manually install IIS but still get the error message about IIS. When you say a "clean" windows machine do you mean a computer with no other programs at all installed, a computer just for the vms and nothing else ?

Well I tried to install it but was unsuccessful, for details see the thread I started at - XProtect Essential+ 2017 R3 refuses to install

Okay, I was hoping this software was user friendly, but it won't even install. I got the following error message below, so I did a manual install of IIS as it said, then tried installing the software again and still get the same message even with IIS installed. So I have no clue why or what...
