Network Install

Network Installation

Prepare the Server:

Create a directory (or folder) on a shared drive, such as "PestClick".

Remember the directory structure path as you will need this for the workstation's software installation.

Be sure all workstations can share this mapped drive

Prepare the Workstation:

If one does not exist, map a drive letter that points to the above server's shared resource, and remember the drive letter chosen as you'll need this during installation. For example, say Drive "F:" maps to your company's public data storage area.

Install the Software:

Step 1

Run the PestClick installation program

Step 2

Choose the installation location (local hard drive) where the executable files will reside. This defaults to "C:\PROGRAM FILES\PESTCLICKUS\"

Step 3

Click the "Network Install" checkbox when it appears - this will activate a network data path entry field, complete the path with the browse button.

Step 4

Using the above example of "F:\" drive being mapped to your server's shared resource - click the browse button and select drive "F:\" from the drive selection list, then browse to the correct directory and select it.

Step 5

Using the above examples for installing PestClick, your network data path would be "F:\PESTCLICK\". PestClick's installer will create a sub-folder under the F:\PESTCLICK\ directory on your shared drive called DATA which will contain all the data files for PestClick.

Step 6

If you are performing any additional installations at other workstations, always choose the parent of the DATA sub-directory on the shared drive for these installs also. In this case it would be F:/PESTCLICK for the network data storage.
