NOTE - Installing on Windows 10 is possible, you will need to answer a lot of "yes, I'm sure" type questions. See linked article for examples, https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/05/windows_10_microsoft_defender_smartscreen/

Edit the Apache service on Windows

For Open-AudIT 5.0.0 and newer, when running Open-AudIT on Windows the Apache service account must be that of a 'regular' user (or the Administrator). This is because the "Local System" account normally used to run Apache has no access to any "network" resources. IE - We cannot use Apache when running as the Local System account account to copy the audit script to Windows PCs.

To make the change, just follow the steps below.

Select the Start menu and type "services". Click the Services icon.

Upgrading

Upgrading is essentially the same as installing - although you will already have Nmap, so no need to reinstall that.
