Installing VisionCore on a Client Workstation

Bullet PointBefore you begin you must make sure your Server is setup properly with SQL Server 2005 or 2008 or the Free SQL Server Express Edition. See the Server documents on how to setup your server to work properly with VisionCore. Each workstation connects over your network or the Internet to SQL Server 2005 or 2008 to retrieve your data. You only need SQL Server 2005 or 2008 installed on your server and not each workstation.

1.Run VisionCore.exe to open the InstallAware Wizard.

Before you can install VisionCore, you need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or greater installed on your machine. Once the InstallAware detects that you don’t have this program, you will be brought to the Required Programs screen which provides a link where you can download it. Once you have installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or greater, click Retry to continue.

 

If you already have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or greater installed prior to running the VisionCore.exe, the installer would skip this screen and would go directly to the Welcome screen.
