Windows Installation

NCache can also be installed via an interactive Windows installer. Do the following.

  1. Search for Command Prompt on Windows Start menu. Right click on the search result “Command Prompt”, and select Run as Administrator. The reason for this is that NCache must be installed from an “admin” user.

  2. Install NCache: Run “msiexec.exe” utility from Command Prompt to install NCache in an interactive mode as following.

msiexec.exe /I "C:\NCacheSetupPath\ncache.pro.x64.msi"
