Review: Voltcraft BS-15 Software & PC Connectivity

Step 2: Extract and run the installer

  1. Right-click the downloaded ZIP file → Extract All.
  2. Open the extracted folder. Look for Setup.exe or BS15_Installer.msi.
  3. Right-click → Run as Administrator.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts. Accept the default installation path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Voltcraft\BS-15).

Option 3: Manufacturer’s Server (Direct Link Reference)

Some users report the software being hosted at ftp://ftp.conrad.de/ (public FTP). The typical filename pattern is BS-15_Setup.exe or a versioned archive.
