Admin Client Only Installation

This section explains how to install just the administrative client onto a PC, such as for installations where multiple client connections are required.

Important Note: If the host PC/Application Server PC software is updated you are also required to update any client PCs as well.

The latest version of Doors.NET can be downloaded from the Software Downloads section of the www.kerisys.com website. Click here for information about downloading the software.

1. Double-click the self-extracting installation file.
2. Wait a few moments while the file extraction initializes, then click the EXTRACT button.
   
   
   
   
3. You can also right-click the file and select 'Extract All'.
4. Once all the files have been downloaded, click on the DoorsNETInstaller executable.
5. The installer will initialize.
   
   
   
   
6. Welcome screen - The version to be installed will be displayed along with the detected Windows operating system.
   
   
   
   
7. Software License Agreement - Read through the agreement and place a check mark in the confirmation box.
   
   
   
   
8. Customer Registration - Enter a user name and (optionally) an organization name. Note: This is not the user name that you will use to log into the software. It is just for registration purposes.
   
   
   
   
9. Type of Installation - Select Basic Installation.
   
   
   
   
10. Verification - You should just the Admin Client highlighted in green on the left. The installer will also install the report client, rollcall client and video clients. Tick the verification box to proceed to the next screen.
    
    
    
    
11. Destination Folder - The folder location for all the supporting software files (such as the help file). This should ideally be left at the default setting unless it specifically must be changed.
    
    
    
    Note: You can install the client into a folder on a USB drive/memory stick. These files could then be manually copied onto the local drive of remote workstations to save you having to run the installer multiple times at each of the remote workstations.
    
    
12. Shortcut Selections - Choose to create shortcuts for the Desktop or Start Menu, or both.
    
    
    
    
13. Ready to Install - Simply click the Install button and the client installation will begin.
    
    
    
    
14. Installation of the client should take somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes (depending upon the specification of your PC). When installation completes you will see a recommended option to run the License Manager. This is not necessary for a client-only install so click the Finish button and you will be ready to use the client.
