Download And Install Instructions For E-FAST
The E-FAST installation program has been compressed into a single
self-extracting executable file (approximately 28.5 MB in size). To
install E-FAST on your system, complete the following instructions:
1. Download the E-FAST self-extracting executable file (efastins.exe)
to any directory of your choice.
2. Run efastins.exe and follow
the user prompts throughout the setup process.
3. Unlike E-FAST V1.1, Version 2 includes the installer file for the Consumer Exposure Model (CEM) with the E-FAST V2.0 installer; there is no longer a separate installer file for CEM.
Notes for Windows Vista Users Vista has new levels of security which cause programs to require an administrator level to run. Because of this, E-FAST2 will not run if a user simply double-clicks the icon. However, if the user right-clicks on the program icon, and selects "run as administrator," the program runs normally. This is a simple work-around that can be done when using the model on an independent computer. The user also has the option (under properties) of setting up the program to always run as an administrator. This only needs to be set-up once. If the user is working on a PC that is part of a network, the network administrator would need to have the individual PCs set up so that this is possible. Because this is a common issue with Windows Vista, this issue should be anticipated by the administrator, and easily addressed.
