Before You Begin

Before starting the SOAPware DataManager installer, log in to the Server using the Administrator account.  If you do not have access to the Administrator account, please contact your Network Administrator.

Ensure that everyone is out of SOAPware when installing DataManager as the installation will restart the database to make necessary changes to the database.

If you are installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you will need to right click on the install file and choose "Run as Administrator."

Open My Computer and browse to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3 (or the install folder for your database server) and create a folder named soapwaretemp.

For example, if your server is installed in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3 (the default location) then you will want to create the directory in the following location:  C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\soapwaretemp

For 64-bit systems, the PostgreSQL folder will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\  instead.                                  

The steps to create this folder will differ slightly based on your version of Windows.
