Chapter 2 - Installation
Before installing Chartist, you need to decide the
following:
The directory path for the Chartist files.
Default: C:\Program Files\Chartist
The install program will propose this default selection
when it runs. If you want to change it, you may.
To install Chartist from CD ROM:
- Place the distribution CD ROM into the appropriate
drive on your system. If you have enabled the Auto Play
feature of that drive, the Chartist installation startup
page will appear. If it does not, follow these additional
steps:
- Select the Run... command from the Start
Menu.
- Type the install command line into the Command Line
field of the Run dialog box. For example, if you are
loading the distribution CDROM from drive D:, you would
type:
d:setup.exe
into the Command Line field. Press Enter to complete
the command.
To install Chartist from a download:
- Download the Chartist installation file, and save it to
your system.
- Locate the download file on your system, using Windows
Explorer. The download file is named wcharp43.exe.
- Run the download file by double-clicking on it from
Windows Explorer.
Chartist may be installed and run from a network file
server. You must purchase a Network Server License to install
on a network file server. When installed Chartist will allow
the licensed number of network workstations to run Chartist
simultaneously.
Step By Step Instructions For Network Server Setup
- Connect your workstation to the network server and
drive that you want to use. You must have full read/write
privileges for that path.
- Run the Chartist installation program, as described
above.
- When prompted, override the default installation drive
and path, with the one for the network server drive.
- After installation, from the same machine, retrieve the
Chartist product key as described above
- From each workstation on the network, locate the shared
directory where you installed Chartist. Run the program,
netinstall.exe, in that directory. It will setup
that machine to access Chartist. A few small files will be
copied to that machine, but main part of the program
resides on the server.
