Installation

Run desktop setup

  • If you've installed the shared files on a network, you'll need to run the desktop setup application on each workstation. The desktop setup application makes sure that each workstation meets the minimum operating application requirements and confirms that all required components are installed.
  • The desktop setup application adds a shortcut to your desktop for the single network installation of Practice CS (on your firm’s server). This keeps all global files and data in a single location. Network users shouldn't install the full application on their own local workstations.
Do the following to run the desktop setup:
  1. Make sure you're signed-in to your computer as an administrator.
  2. Close all open applications.
  3. Select
    Start
     on the Windows taskbar and then
    Run
    .
  4. In the Run window, enter
    Z:\path\Practice CS\Desktop\Setup.exe
     (where
    Z
     represents the mapped drive letter for the network path to the server you installed the shared files, and path is the path to your Practice CS folder).
  5. Select
    OK
    . The setup wizard installs or updates Practice CS and the necessary components. You may need to restart your computer 1 or more times during this step.
  6. When prompted to enable or disable Remote Entry, choose the option you want and then select
    Next
    .
  7. Remote Entry requires a local installation of Microsoft SQL Server, version 2012 or later. If you chose to enable Remote Entry, you'll need to select an existing instance of SQL Server or you'll need to install a new instance. After doing so, select
    Next
    .
  8. When you've been notified that the Practice CS setup is complete, select
    Finish
    .
