Apteco FastStats

Note: If you are using Apteco FastStats, although it may either be installed locally on each user’s machine, it is more typically delivered through the ‘Apteco Launcher’ mechanism from the Web Server. The latter is the preferred method as you can simply update the server rather than uninstall and re-install on each user’s PC.

The FastStats Launcher requires .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later and will support TLS1.3 and later. We have also changed the mechanism to deliver the executable ‘binaries’ from the server. These binary files are now held in a new Configuration database, allowing easier updates and greater flexibility in the future.

FastStats Local

To update a local Apteco FastStats copy:

  1. Use Add or remove programs on the client machine to uninstall FastStats Discoverer.

  2. Run FastStats64Setup.msi from the FastStatsLocal folder.

    Note: FastStats64Setup.msi is a 64-bit installer. The 32-bit installer is available on demand from Apteco.

  3. Repeat the above two steps for each Discoverer Local user’s machine.
