The basic steps to install GainSeeker on your system for the first time - or upgrade from GainSeeker version 8.x - are:
Make any changes necessary to meet the System Requirements for installing and using GainSeeker. This includes:
ensuring that the Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1 and version 4.5 are installed on all workstations or on your terminal server. (Installing these versions of the .Net Framework will require a computer reboot.)
installing a database client and/or ADO.NET driver on all workstations or on your terminal server (any database except Microsoft SQL Server)
(New installation only) Set up the GainSeeker database.
Install the GainSeeker client on all workstations or on your terminal server. If using GS Analyze, install the GainSeeker client on your web server or intranet server.
(Pervasive.SQL database only) If you have not already done so, convert your database from file mode to database mode.
(Upgrading from versions 8.0 - 8.3.1 only) For each configuration that uses a different set of tables, you will probably want to update the table names for the INSPECTIONUID table and the HSICT table. Then use the Check for Tables button to automatically create the new table names.
(optional) Install the GainSeeker client and GS Analyze on your web server or intranet server.
(optional) Install GainSeeker Mobile Web Service on your web server or intranet server.
The GainSeeker installation program automatically detects and converts your existing data from GainSeeker version 8.0 or later.
To upgrade from GainSeeker version 7, you must first upgrade to GainSeeker version 8.6 before following the instructions above to upgrade to GainSeeker version 9.1.
To upgrade from GainSeeker version 6 or lower, you must first upgrade to GainSeeker version 7 and then to GainSeeker version 8.6 before following the instructions above to upgrade to GainSeeker version 9.1.
