Installing and Launching Vaisala Software

If you need to install Vaisala software, please follow the steps below carefully. The application must be run from a local Windows account, not a cloud or Microsoft 365 account.

1. Create a Local Administrator Account

Open Settings → Accounts → Other Users.
Click Add account, then choose “I don’t have this person’s sign-in information.”
Select “Add a user without a Microsoft account.”
Enter the username:
```
localaccount
```
Set a secure password.
1. Ensure the username is all lowercase, or Vaisala will not allow you to log in.
After creation, open Control Panel → User Accounts → Manage another account → Change account type, and set it to Administrator.
If this option is not available to create a local user account go to sign in options and put in a correct account 3 times which will bypass MS365 to allow a local account to be made

2. Sign in as the Local Account

Sign out of your cloud or work account.
Log in using the localaccount credentials created above.
```
Username: .\localaccount
```

3. Download and Install Vaisala

Open a web browser (while signed into the local account).
Go to the provided Vaisala download link.

Running it from a cloud account can cause permission or registry issues.
