Installation Guide

There are two ways to install RestEasy^tm depending on the version you purchased.

Hard Drive Install

The Hard Drive install will install and run RestEasy^tm on your local computer's hard drive. With this installation your information will be saved on your computer.

USB Drive Install

The USB Drive install will install the RestEasy^tm launcher only on your local computer's hard drive and any dependent components. The RestEasy^tm organizer will actually run from the supplied USB drive. With this installation your information will be saved on the USB drive and not the local computer. Disconnecting the USB drive secures all of your information.

Installation

To install RestEasy:

Place the CD in the drive and the install should start automatically. If the install does not start, double click on the setup.exe file.
Follow the prompts for the install.

A desk top icon will be created for you to launch the application.

Once you have installed the program and created a profile, you may wish to go through the included questionnaire to help you prepare for entering data into the RestEasy Organizer. A soft copy of the questionnaire can be found in the Program Files/HOLTEC/RestEasy/PDF directory.

Dependencies

RestEasy^tm is built on the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 and also uses Microsoft SQLServer Express. This is nothing you need to be concerned with, but it does mean that the computer you run RestEasy^tm on must have these components installed. The install will automatically check for these components and install them if necessary.

In rare occurrences, there is an incompatibilty with the computer that causes a problem when installing these components. If you receive an error during the install related to the .NET framework 3.5 or SQLServer, you can try to install the latest versions directly from Microsoft.

Click here to download SQLServer Express.

Desktop Icons

The installer will create a desktop icon to launch the RestEasy^tm organizer. If you performed a USB Drive install then the USB drive must be connected to start RestEasy^tm. Double click the desktop icon to start the RestEasy^tm organizer. NOTE: When running the organizer, there will also be a RestEasy^tm icon in the icon tray. You can use this icon to interact with the organizer is minimized.

Uninstall

To uninstall RestEasy^tm go to Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Find the RestEasy^tm icon and select Remove.
