Instructions for Server Core and Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Environments
From the command line execute the following commands to install the .NET Framework 2.0:
start /w ocsetup NetFx2-ServerCore
start /w ocsetup NetFx2-ServerCore-WOW64
If the above commands don't work on your Core Installation version, use these instead:
DISM.exe /online /enable-feature
/featurename:NetFx2-ServerCore
DISM.exe /online /enable-feature
/featurename:NetFx2-ServerCore-WOW64
Then change directory to the folder containing BackupChainSetup_x64.msi or IBackupChainSetup_x64.msi (available from our download page) and run:
msiexec /i IBackupChainSetup_x64.msi
Run C:\Program Files\FastNeuron Inc\BackupChain\BackupChain.exe to open the BackupChain Monitor Application.
