|
Warning: If you are upgrading TrackPro from a version prior to 5.0.0.0250 you must send in your data file for conversion to the new data format. Send the file in zipped format to support@Baronsoftware.com. |
|
Warning: Administrative permissions are required to correctly install TrackPro. Always start the Setup file by Right-clicking it and selecting "Run as Administrator from the context menu. |
General
- Make sure that you fully understand and ensure that all Hardware and Software requirements have been met.
- Make sure that you have a backup copy of the TrackPro.mdb and any other .mdb files you may have been using with TrackPro.
- Exit all Windows applications on the computer where TrackPro will be installed.
- Close any virus scan programs on the computer where TrackPro will be installed. Virus detection programs can mistakenly interpret the setup/upgrade process of a program as contamination of existing files on the disk.
Multiuser Server Installation Preparation
- The TrackPro multiuser server installation must take place prior to the installation of TrackPro on any of the client computers.
- Create a TrackPro user group.
- Create a folder on the server to receive the TrackPro program files. The TrackPro user group should be assigned read and execute permissions for this folder and subfolders.
- Create another folder on the server to receive the TrackPro data, report format and configuration files.
- Grant the TrackPro user group full control of the TrackPro Data Folder.
|
Note: The TrackPro data folder can be assigned the same folder as the program files. |
|
Tip: It is not necessary to share these created folders. In fact, it is preferable not to share these folder so that they are not universally visible on the network. |
Client Installation Preparation
- If a single-user version of TrackPro has been previously installed, remove it using the TrackPro uninstaller.
- When prompted, be sure to correctly enter the network address for both the TrackPro program and data folders.
|
Note: you should use UNC addresses for the network data folder. |
