Edit vsigns_srv.ini and modify the VS_PATH to your vitalsigns\YOURCU path
Example vsigns_srv.ini
 VS_PATH      "E:\vitalsigns\VSCU"
 VS_PORT      30601
 VS_LOG       "vsigns_srv.log"
 QV_PATH      "c:\program files\qlikview"

Edit start_vsigns_srv.vbs and change the paths appropriately
Example start_vsigns_srv.vbs
 Dim oShell
 Set oShell = CreateObject ("WScript.shell")
 oShell.run "cmd /K C:\Python27\python E:\vitalsigns\bin\vsigns_srv.py E:\vitalsigns\VSCU\data\config\vsigns_srv.ini > E:\vitalsigns\VSCU\data\config\vsigns_srv.log"
 Set oShell = Nothing
