(Windows) Install the CCMS Output Generator service

The seventh task when you install a new IXIA CCMS Output Generator is to install the Ixiasoft Output Generator service in Windows.

To install the CCMS Output Generator in Windows:

On the machine hosting the CCMS Output Generator, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
If a confirmation window opens, click Yes.

A command-line interface opens.
Browse to the CCMS Output Generator bin directory.
For example:
```
cd C:\IxiaSoft\OutputGenerators\prod\bin
```
Enter the name of the installation file and press Enter to run it.
```
InstallOutputGenerator-NT.bat
```
The system installs the CCMS Output Generator and displays a confirmation:
```
c:\Program Files\IxiaSoft\OutputGenerator\bin>InstallOutputGenerator-NT.bat
STATUS | [date] [time] | Ixiasoft Output Generator Service installed.
```
Note: While you could run the InstallOutputGenerator-NT.bat directly from the bin subfolder by right-clicking it and selecting Run as administrator, MadCap Software recommends that you run it from the command-line interface so that you can see the confirmation message or an error message, if the CCMS Output Generator was not installed correctly.
