veeam_fastscp3_win7_error

I asked a question about this error in the Veeam Forums: http://forum.veeam.com.

  5. Grab the extracted FastSCPSetup.msi and drop it on the script. After a couple of seconds, the following screens will popup:

  6. You can install FastSCP 3 by running the FastSCPSetup.msi.
