⚠️ Troubleshooting Setup Failures

If you encounter errors during installation, review the solutions in this section.

Error: Setup Failed / Access Denied

This usually occurs due to existing network security software. Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall during the installation. Some security suites block the installation of custom network drivers required by Ekahau Pro. Re-enable your security software immediately after the installation finishes.

Error: Missing .NET Dependencies

Ekahau Pro requires specific versions of the .NET framework to function. If you see a warning about missing components, go to the official Microsoft website and download the latest version of the .NET Desktop Runtime. You must install this before you run the Ekahau installer.

Error: Wi-Fi Adapter Not Detected

The application relies on specific drivers to communicate with your wireless card. If the software does not see your adapter, open your Windows Device Manager. Find your Wi-Fi adapter under "Network adapters." Right-click the adapter and select "Update driver." If that fails, uninstall the driver, restart your computer, and reinstall it from the manufacturer's website.

📁 Common File Locations

The software installs files into these standard directories:

• Executable file: C:\Program Files\Ekahau\Ekahau Pro\
• Project data: C:\Users[YourUsername]\Documents\Ekahau\
• Log files: C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Ekahau\

If you need to clear your settings to fix a recurring bug, delete the contents of the AppData folder listed above. The application recreates these folders with default settings upon the next launch.

🖥️ Optimizing for Windows 11

Windows 11 includes strict security features that impact network tools. Make sure you add an exception for the Ekahau Pro executable in the Windows Defender Firewall. Follow these steps:

1. Open the "Windows Security" app.
2. Go to "Firewall & network protection."
3. Click "Allow an app through firewall."
4. Select "Change settings."
5. Click "Allow another app" and browse to your installation path.
6. Select the Ekahau Pro executable.
7. Save your changes.
