Installation Guide

You have two ways to install and uninstall the Network Analyzer application. The recommended way is to use the MTNA setup file that uses the Windows Installer. While the MaaTec Network Analyzer will run without rebooting your system, the Windows Installer setup may need a reboot for its own system files. So if you need to install the application without rebooting, or if you cannot use the Windows Installer (e.g. Windows NT 4 without Service Pack 6), you should follow the manual installation instructions below.

Installing and uninstalling MTNA with the MTNA setup file

Unzip the setup files, run Setup.exe, and follow the instructions. You can delete the setup files afterwards. The setup will add an entry in the Windows start menu (Programs > MaaTec > Network Analyzer).

To uninstall the application, open the control panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs (Vista: Programs and Features), select the MaaTec Network Analyzer entry, and click the Add/Remove button. In the remove/repair dialog choose the remove option and click Finish.

Installing and uninstalling MTNA manually

Create a directory for the MTNA files and unzip them into this directory. Now run the Mtna.exe file (see also Starting MTNA). The first time you run the application, you will be asked for a directory for the MTNA settings files. You will need to manually remove this directory when uninstalling the application.

To uninstall the Network Analyzer, run the MTNA.exe file from the command prompt or via the Run command in the start menu with the /Unregister command line option (e.g. "C:\Program Files\MaaTec\MTNA.exe" /Unregister). This will clean up the registry. Now you can delete the application directory and the settings directory.

Switching the demo mode

The Network Analyzer can be licensed as standard (Std) and as Pro version. To check, which version fits your needs best, you can switch the trial version of the Network Analyzer between the Std-Demo and Pro-Demo mode: Open the About Box via the help menu or with the question mark button in the toolbar and use the corresponding 'Switch to ...' buttons. You will need to restart the application to run the new demo mode. The features that are only available in the Pro version of the Network Analyzer are marked with (Pro Version) below the topic title inside the documentation.
