Learn how to install the SendSuite Tracking client on a new computer.
Products affected: SendSuite® Tracking
Before you begin, you will need:
  • Access to your SendSuite Tracking server
  • The link to the SendSuite Tracking installer. Your administrator will need to provide you with this address. It will take one of the following forms:
    • http://<servername>/ClientSetup/
    • https://<servername>/ClientSetup/
Once you have the link, follow these steps to install the SendSuite Tracking client:
  1. Navigate to the SendSuite Tracking installer link provided by your administrator.
  2. Select the download link for the SendSuite Tracking Client installer.
  3. Select Save as and save the file on the computer.
  4. Right-click on the downloaded file SSTclient.exe and select Run as administrator.
  5. Select the Setup Language and select OK.
  6. If Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) is not already installed on the computer, you will be prompted to install it. If this dialog box is displayed, select Install.
  7. When the InstallShield Wizard opens, select Next. The Destination Folder dialog box will open.
  8. Enter the name or IP address of the server provided by your administrator.

    Note: Key Exchange is not required for hosting.
