Hi Tony, sorry for the delay.

Did you install it only once? That error happened the first (and only?) time you installed it?

Until I can fix what's happening on Win 7, you can try to install the Windows Service manualy yourselves:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe <Path-to-IUM>\InetUptimeMonitor.Service.exe

After that, you will see the Service on Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. There you will be able to start / stop it. It needs to be started in order to gather internet data.

If you want to, you can uninstall the service with:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe \u <Path-to-IUM>\InetUptimeMonitor.Service.exe

Thanks for reporting lesuarez. Did you try the method I described in my las message?

This method does not work because the .exe does not yet exist in the install folder.

  You mean the IUM exe? That is weird, it should be there after running the installer, no matter the error.
  
  I'll try to provide the stand-alone files and manual installation instructions.

Dear DGtalize, did you provide the stand-alone files and manual installation instructions anywhere?

Hi all,
I just uploaded ZIP in the Files section that contains the standalone files of the product. Feel free to download it and use them directly.
Remember to install the Windows Service as I explained before for it to work properly.
