Outlet Hub installation guide

Set up the outlet’s local server correctly.

Follow this once on the always-on Windows computer. The installer configures the Hub service, local database connection, backups, LAN discovery, and required private-network firewall rules.

storage SQL Server 2017 or later Default MSSQLSERVER or named SQLEXPRESS—both are detected.
router Private outlet LAN Connect devices to the same trusted Wi-Fi/LAN and reserve the Hub PC address.
Safe in-place upgrades

When a newer Hub installer is released, run its Setup EXE as administrator on the same PC. Setup preserves the Hub identity and settings, verifies a SQL backup, applies only pending database migrations, and checks health before completing. If an upgrade fails, the previous database and Hub release are restored automatically. Downgrades are blocked.

Install using the Setup EXE

Download zippibill-outlet-hub-win-x64-...-setup.exe, then right-click it and select Run as administrator. That is the complete installation method. Do not extract application files and do not run Install-OutletHub.ps1 manually. The PowerShell section below is only an optional post-install health check.

  1. Prepare the Hub computer

    Install Windows updates and SQL Server 2017 or later (SQL Server Express is supported). Keep the Windows network profile set to Private. You do not need to rename the SQL instance. SSMS is optional and the Hub includes its own .NET runtime.

  2. Download the verified installer

    Use Download EXE on this page and keep the downloaded ...-setup.exe file intact. If you see a folder containing DLL, JSON, web.config, or PowerShell files, you opened an extracted application package—not the installer. Return here and download the EXE.

  3. Run Setup as Administrator

    Right-click zippibill-outlet-hub-win-x64-...-setup.exe, choose Run as administrator, approve Windows User Account Control, and complete the branded wizard. No separate PowerShell installation command is required.

  4. Let Setup configure the local services

    Setup automatically selects . for MSSQLSERVER or .\SQLEXPRESS for the named Express instance. It creates the local database, the automatic Windows service, backup folders, TCP port 5167, and UDP discovery port 43820.

  5. Verify the Hub on the same PC

    Open the ZippiBill Outlet Hub shortcut from the Windows Start menu, or browse to http://localhost:5167/. The branded Hub Console shows the current LAN address, pairing state, cloud connection, local database, backup, and sync health. Use Copy address when a device needs a manual fallback. The separate health check remains available for diagnostics.

  6. Reserve the Hub PC’s LAN address

    In the outlet router, reserve the Hub PC’s current IPv4 address. This prevents paired POS and Captain devices from losing the local server after a router restart.

  7. Pair outlet devices

    Sign in as Owner Admin, open Outlet Connectivity, select the outlet, and create a short-lived pairing code or QR. Pair only devices on the same trusted outlet network.

SSMS shows no server in the dropdown?

This is common and does not mean SQL Server is missing. SSMS discovery can be empty even while the local SQL service is healthy. Type the server name manually.

Default SQL instance SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) . Alternatively use localhost or the Hub PC name. Do not type .\MSSQLSERVER.
Named Express instance SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) .\SQLEXPRESS Use this only when the Windows service is named SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS).

After the Setup wizard finishes, optionally open Windows PowerShell as Administrator and run this read-only check. It confirms SQL, the Outlet Hub service, and the local readiness endpoint.

$sql = Get-Service -Name "MSSQLSERVER","MSSQL`$SQLEXPRESS" `
  -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$service = Get-Service -Name "ZippiBillOutletHub" -ErrorAction Stop
$health = Invoke-RestMethod "http://localhost:5167/health/ready"

$service | Select-Object Name, Status, StartType

infoThis script does not install or change anything. The Setup EXE performs installation and SQL detection. Do not edit the generated connection settings.

build_circle Quick troubleshooting checks expand_more
  • SSMS server list is empty: type . for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER), or .\SQLEXPRESS for SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS). The dropdown is not required.
  • Setup says SQL was not found: open services.msc and confirm either SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) or SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) exists and has status Running. If neither exists, repair or install SQL Server 2017 or later before installing Hub.
  • Other devices cannot discover the Hub: confirm all devices use the same non-guest Wi-Fi/LAN and the Hub PC network profile is Private.
  • Need the Hub PC address: open http://localhost:5167/ on the Hub PC and use Copy address. No configuration file or installed service setting should be edited.
  • Local health page does not open: restart the ZippiBill Outlet Hub Windows service, then retry the health URL.
  • Discovery still fails: test http://HUB-PC-IP:5167/health/ready from another outlet device and check that client isolation is disabled on the router.
