Local/Home Setup

To get started, download the PAUI+ Installer and ensure that your Windows 10/11 is fully updated. If you are using antivirus software, please ensure that you allow PAUI+ and Port4WRD.

Having these .NET Runtime and VS16 and VS17 Redistributable prerequisites readily available will be invaluable in addressing any potential issues that may arise during the installation process. It's a proactive step that can save you time and frustration!
