Ran CumulusMX.exe as Administrator
DOS box opens and runs, then errors out.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "errors out"? There are no indications of any problems in the diags file - it starts up successfully, and then a couple of minutes later it gets closed down. What do you see at the command prompt - an error message, presumably? Or do you mean that you are getting an error in your browser?

I don't completely understand the install procedure. After executing cumulusmx.exe what do I do next? I've attached a screen shot of the command prompt, which is no longer giving an error. I was thinking it installed Cumulus but it doesn't. Where do I start Cumulus and set up my Station and internet setting? I see the folder with the HTML (Interface folder) and can open in my browser (Chrome) but there is no place to enter data.
Thanks for any help you can give me and the prompt reply.

Instructions are in this post -

You need to put the displayed URL (where it says "Cumulus running at...") into your browser, replacing the '*' with your IP address or just 'localhost' if your browser is on the the same machine as Cumulus, i.e,
http://localhost:8998/

It can't communicate with the station - are you running Cumulus 1 at the same time?

SUCCESS! The running as localhost was what I was missing. All settings inputted and it seems to be running fine. Thanks so much for your help!
