Installing Report Wizard
You can install Report Wizard on an individual computer or the network server.
Install on Individual Computer
To install on an individual computer.
If you haven't already done so, download the setup program named "Setup.exe" from our Web site.
Run Setup.exe. The Windows User Access Control dialog will appear. Enter the appropriate information in this dialog.
When asked for the destination location, either accept the default location or specify a different location on this computer if desired. If you specify a folder that does not exist, the setup program will create it.
If you want to share reports with other users, you may wish to specify a synchronization folder.
Install on Network Server
To install on a network server.
IMPORTANT
After installing it on a server, you also have to perform a workstation installation on each computer that runs the program from the server; instructions for doing that are in the next section.
If you haven't already done so, download the setup program named "Setup.exe" from our Web site.
Run Setup.exe. The Windows User Access Control dialog will appear. Enter the appropriate information in this dialog.
When asked for the destination location, specify the desired folder on the server. If you specify a folder that does not exist, the setup program will create it.
Installing on Network Workstations
Like most Windows applications, Student Manager Reports needs certain "runtime" files installed on a workstation even if the application is run from a server. After you have installed the program on a network server and want to be able to run it on a particular workstation, run WSSetup.exe from the server directory where the program is already installed and follow the instructions. The Windows User Access Control dialog will appear. Enter the appropriate information in this dialog.
Silent Installation
Silent installation allows you to install the application without any prompts. This is helpful when you have a lot of systems to install on and want to speed up or even automate the process. To install silently, add /VERYSILENT to the command line. For example:
/SETUP.EXE /VERYSILENT
In addition to VERYSILENT, here are some other command line parameters you may find useful:
/LOG: causes Setup to create a log file in the user's TEMP directory detailing the installation process. This can be a helpful debugging aid. For example, if you suspect a file isn't being replaced when you believe it should be (or vice versa), the log file will tell you if the file was really skipped, and why. The log file is created with a unique name based on the current date. (It will not overwrite or append to existing files.) The information contained in the log file is technical in nature and therefore not intended to be understandable by end users.
/LOG="filename": same as /LOG, except it allows you to specify the path and filename for the log file. Existing files are overwritten. If the file cannot be created, Setup will abort with an error message.
/DIR="x:\dirname": overrides the default installation directory. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.
/GROUP="folder name": overrides the default program group folder.
