Unlike Server Backup Manager products that are installed in one step, Data Center Console (DCC) requires some configuration *prior* to the installation as well as some additional manual steps *after* the initial install of the software package.
Read about the previous step here: [Prerequisites for Installing Data Center Console|DCC installation prerequisites].
Follow the instructions below to install and configure Data Center Console on Windows.
