***  NETWORK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  ***

The network installation is designed primarily for 
System and Network Administrators, and others who 
are very familiar and comfortable with networks.

There are several benefits to using the network install:
1. You don't have to lug a CD from computer to computer
   doing each install individually.

2. You can make decisions for the Users so they don't hurt 
   themselves.  This includes the location of 80Mb of video
   files and whether or not to convert old data.

3. It eliminates the possibility of users making mistakes such
   installing multiple databases, etc.

4. The installation program knows the location of the data, 
   making mapping errors impossible.

5. You enter the CD Key just once so users don't have to be 
    Concerned with locating and entering a key.

WHAT IT DOES
It will copy data files, tutorial files, and the user installation
files to a specified folder on the server.  It will then create an 
ini file based on your responses to the questions.  When the users
run the installation, it is configured based on your choices.

WHAT YOU DO
Run the set up program, make choices, an tell the users how
to start the user installation program from their computer.

WHAT USERS DO
Follow your instructions to run the installation executable.


DETALED INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If your company used AmeriCalc 2002 last year, we suggest you
   do the installation from a computuer which has that program
   installed.  Insert the CD in the Drive.

2. If the installation auto-runs, Cancel and Exit it at the 
   License Agreement screen.

3. On the CD, find and run the file called AdminSetup.exe

4. When prompted enter the CD key from the shipping label.

5. Select the Destination folder for the data files.  These should
   be in a shared location where all potential AmeriCalc Users have
   full read, write, edit and delete permissions.

6. Determine if there is data from last year that should be converted.

7. Decide the run location for the video tutorial files.

8. Finish the Install.

9. Notify the selected AmeriCalc users of the availability of the program.

10. Instruct users about the location of the AmerUser3.exe file and how to
    run it from their individual computers. Remember, that often different
    users will be mapped to the same server folder differently.  This will not
    affect the install, but it will affect how you tell them to locate the file.

11. If you choose to force the users to download the video files to their hard
    drives, after everyone has run the installation, you may delete the tutorial
    files to free up about 80Mb of space on the server.

12. Contact Technical support at 603-893-8800 if you have any questions or 
    problems.  90% of our support calls stem from incorrect database mapping, 
    or the installation of parallel databases. Don't let it happen to you.
