Installation requirements

There are a few things you or your Information Technology (IT) professional can do to help prevent issues during installation of the application. Share this with your IT professional or follow these steps.
Move to the database server:
  • Sit at the server where your Structured Query Language (SQL) database resides. Choose your server or check with your IT professional about the location of your SQL database.
Sign in as an administrator in Windows:
  • Make sure you sign in as a Windows administrator to prevent issues during installation. Check with your IT professional if you have questions or consult Windows' support site.

    • C:\Program Files\Creative Solutions\Accounting CS
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative Solutions\Accounting CS if on a 64-bit operating system

Set up these permissions in Windows:

     over these directories and subdirectories:
    • C:\Users\<user>
    • C:\Windows\Temp

  • Everyone needs
    Read
    ,
    Write
    , and
    Modify
     access to the network location where you installed the application.
  • Everyone needs the same permissions for the application and data folders located in [drive name]:\WinCSI.
