OVERVIEW
The Exporter Control Center (ECC app) is supplied
by Harris to configure and monitor HDE-200 Exporters.
It can be run on computers using WinXP (SP2), Vista
Pro, or Win7 Pro. Because Windows 7 offers much tighter
control over security and firewalls, and in public vs.
private network settings, many users have experienced
difficulty in installing and using the ECC app on a
Windows 7 computer.
USING ECC ON A WINDOWS 7 COMPUTER
Here are some tips on installing and configuring the
ECC app to run on a Windows 7 computer.
1. If security messages (this is not a Windows certified
program, etc.) are displayed when running the
HDEConfigInstaller.msi program, then close out of the
install. Right-click on the file name and select
Troubleshoot Compatibility to open the Program
Compatibility window, which analyzes the program for
compatibility with Windows 7. Once it finishes, click Start
The Program to install the ECC app. It should now install
without any pop-up warning boxes, although you will
still get permission
pop-ups, depending
upon the Windows 7
security settings.
2. Once the program
is installed, make sure
that the computer’s
network adapter,
which connects to the
HDE-200 network, is
Exporter Control Center
and Windows 7
Application Note AN10-02
configured as a private network. Often you can’t change
an unidentified network to private because that function
is prevented by a default security setting. Thus, you have
to change the security setting first so that the network is
not made public in the first place. This can be done in
the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) window.
To open this window, click the START button and
then type MMC into the search dialog box. The MMC
program will open (again, you may get a permission pop-
up, if so, click OK).
Click on File and
select Add/Remove Snap-
in to open up the Add or
Remove Snap- in window
(shown on the next page).
Click on the Group
Policy Object Editor to
highlight it, then press the
Add button to pop up the
Group Policy Wizard.
Local Computer should be displayed by default. If so,
click Finish to accept Local Computer and close the
Microsoft Management Console window
