This section contains information on the first stage of the installation procedure. The second stage of the instal- lation procedure uses a web browser and is discussed in the ConsoleWorks Administrator and User Guide.

4-1. Make backup of system disk(s)
As a precaution, make a backup copy of the system disk(s). This is a standard precaution. ConsoleWorks in- stalls all of its files into a single directory tree, which should preclude any conflicts, however caution is recom- mended.
4-2. Installation Process
ConsoleWorks installation can be accomplished directly from a CD or from a TDI web site.
-note: The installer may not be notified about files about to be overwritten.
-note: Installation requires Administrator privileges. If the activity to this point has been done from a common user account, the installer will have to logout and log back in as a user with Administrator access privileges.
Administrator privileges
Log in to an account with Administrator privileges. Once ConsoleWorks is installed it can be run from a com- mon user account, but the installation is required to be performed from an account with full access privileges.
Uninstall all versions of Field Test Software (if applicable)
Please uninstall all versions of ConsoleWorks Server V1.5 Field Test. This install will not work if the ConsoleWorks Server V1.5 Field Test is installed. Failure to uninstall the field test version could cause loss of data during install or uninstall of ConsoleWorks Server.
Mount the CD
The ConsoleWorks CD contains the same files as the TDI installation web site. Open the CD directory and click on the index.html file. Installation from the CD now proceeds exactly as it would from the web site. If using the CD for installation, skip to Installation below otherwise continue with the next paragraph.
