The HSInst24p3.exe program installs H-Sphere
to winbox and configures all required software
(Download HSInst24p3.exe)
for all owners of H-Sphere 2.4 Patch 3. It is organized in the form of a wizard.
During the installation you will have to set below parameters
that determine the behavior of your H-Sphere Windows box.
Some of these parameters are predetermined
by the installation program and can be left unchanged. If
you are unsure about setting any of the parameters, it is
also advisable to leave them as they are. You can stop
the installation wizard at any time.

IMPORTANT:
1. Install Pdb package
relevant to this Winbox version. Read more in Crash Reporting.
