INSTALLATION

Installing the Trial Edition

The trial edition comes with an installer that will guide you through the installation. It will install everything you need; just follow the instructions on your screen. You may install the program on your local drive, or on a shared network drive. Please make sure all users have full permissions under Windows for the folder you are using. The trial edition includes sample data for testing, or you may remove the sample data and enter your own. Use it free for 30 days, then automatically transfer your data to the licensed version.

Using the Installer

The automated installation package will install the program on your computer. Depending on the version you are installing, you may select to add an icon to your start menu, and install the help files. If you plan to share the database with multiple users, you will need to install it on a network drive that all of the users have access to. All users need to have FULL rights for the directory where the program is installed. You will also need to make sure the file is backed up regularly.

Upgrading from a Previous Version

Always create a backup copy before you begin the upgrade process! If you are upgrading from a previous version, be sure to install the program into A NEW DIRECTORY. If you try to install it to the same directory as your current version, the program will not be installed to the same folder if there is already a file there with the same name. Once you install it into a new directory, you will be able to import the data from your current version during setup.

Moving the Program to a New Location

With the standard edition, if you need to move the program to a different computer or a different location on the network, you may simply move the TRAIN TRACK® folder from where it is to the new location. You will have to update any shortcuts or links to the program.

Uninstalling

An uninstaller is included with the program installation. Just browse to where you installed the program, or use your start menu, and select Uninstall.

Installing Other Editions

Instructions for installing other editions are included in a separate document that is included with your setup files.
