The installation setup for the Excel Client 1.0 will be run by double-clicking the executable file CoPlanner Excel Client 1.0.msi.

Hint   To ensure a clean installation, make sure before starting the installation that no CoPlanner Excel client is already installed on your system. If this is the case, uninstall it before reinstalling.

The file Silent_install.bat is also used for the Excel Client installation. There you don't have to go through the steps, as decribed above, you went through the installation in one step without displaying a user interface. For this the ClientConfig.xml is used which is in the same directory. This must be configured accordingly. This type of installation is preferably carried out when the Excel client will be rolled out on multiple systems without any interaction by a user.
