Follow the steps below to install the PowerChute update to resolve this issue.
  1. Download the ZIP file attached to this Knowledge Base article, extract the contents and save the files locally.
Both files must be saved in the same local directory on the PowerChute machine.
  1. If PowerChute is not installed in the default directory, edit the updatePcns.bat file using an ASCII text editor to include the correct path to your PowerChute installation:
SET PCNSPATH="C:\Program Files\APC\PowerChute\group1\comp"
  1. Run updatePcns.bat as an administrator (“Run as administrator”).
The updatePcns.bat file will perform the following steps:
