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.
