Selecting the Daemon User Home location

This procedure describes selecting the location for the daemon user home folder. In Niagara, the program provides the default location which you can change if you wish.



  1. In the Niagara 4 Installation Program window, accept the default daemon user home folder (ProgramData\Niagara4 n\brand, where n is the software version and brand is your product name), or you can indicate another location.

    If needed, you can directly edit the folder path (for example, changing the drive from C: to D:), or click Browse to navigate to a different location.

    CAUTION: The Daemon User Home and the Workbench User Home are intended to be installed in distinctly separate locations. This separation of homes is for security reasons but it also prevents certain unintended results. For example, when the two homes are installed in the same location the Station Copier becomes unavailable, and you will not be able to make a portable copy of the station.
  2. Click Next button to proceed.
