Procedure

Installing the Mobile Client on Laptops

  1. On the installation CD or DVD, navigate to the folder: MobileClient\Laptop, and execute setup.exe.

    The installation wizard starts.

  2. Follow the instructions in the wizard until the installation is complete.

    Note Note

    When the system prompts you to select the required language for installation, select the language in which you want the installation wizard to appear.

    If you choose to perform a custom installation, you can enter the Client, Protocol, Host and Port information during the installation. The supported protocols are:

    • HTTP

    • HTTPS

    • Data Carrier Synchronization

    If MaxDB exists on the client device, then the client installation creates only a new instance of the database. If a client instance of the database already exists, the installation wizard deletes that instance.

    End of the note.

    The mobile client is installed. The installation creates a shortcut to the mobile client on the desktop. You can now start using the Mobile client.
