1. Prerequisites

2. Extract

Download iVistaar-latest.zip and extract to a permanent path:

C:\iVistaar

You should see VERSION, INSTALL.md, scripts\, and admin\.

3. Install (recommended)

Elevated PowerShell from the extract folder:

cd C:\iVistaar
.\scripts\install-admin-service.cmd -Port 8080

This starts the admin UI as scheduled task iVistaarAdmin and hosts apps with Waitress (avoids common IIS HttpPlatformHandler 500s).

Optional: pass -PythonPath "C:\...\python.exe" if discovery picks the wrong interpreter.

4. First login

Open http://localhost:8080/ (or http://<server-name>:8080/).

Then open Account and set a new password before exposing the site.

5. Deploy an app

  1. Optional: unzip a sample under sample-apps\ (customer packages ship samples as .zip files).
  2. Admin → Connect → folder path + entrypoint (Flask app:app, Dash app:server / run:server).
  3. Deploy → open /apps/<slug>/.
  4. Use the deployment page Health & runtime panel and Runtime log if something fails.

6. Upgrade later

  1. Download the new zip.
  2. Stop iVistaarAdmin (or the IIS app pool).
  3. Extract over the install folder — keep the existing data\ folder.
  4. Re-run install-admin-service.cmd -Port 8080.
