GTC – SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP 1.3. AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION The automatic installation procedure consists in the AutoInstall.cmd command file. This is a sequence of batch commands that install all software pre-requisites and the SidekickPC software using default settings. You must log on as full Administrator in order to make the installation of the software. By default, the automatic software installation procedure installs SidekickPC in the C:\Electrolux\SidekickPC folder. You can however override this default and setup the software in a different directory. Please refer to the next paragraph if you need to change the default installation directory.
The following recommendations apply: 1. Windows XP : simply double-click the AutoInstall.cmd file. 2. Windows Vista and Windows 7 : right-click the AutoInstall.cmd file and then select the " Run as Administrator " option. Depending on your actual configuration, the operating system may ask you for a further authorization. Please remember that, under Microsoft Vista and 7, you must explicitly execute AutoInstall.cmd as administrator even if you are already logged in with an administrative account. Please remember that this setup procedure does not install the programs that are already installed in your PC.
In addition, the automatic setup procedure implements some workarounds to a few known setup problems of the SQL Server 2005 software. One of these workarounds consists in temporarily disabling network connectivity during the setup of this software. For this reason, please do not worry if you see a warning that refers to a "limited network connectivity" issue during the setup. Another workaround consists in uninstalling and re-installing the SQL Server 2005 Client Tools. After you start the execution of AutoInstall.cmd , you can see the welcome screen: Fig. 1. Automatic setup: welcome setup If you press CTRL+C you can abort the procedure.
If you press instead any other key combination, the automatic setup starts. Depending on your computer configuration, the setup procedure may last several minutes. © 2012 Electrolux Italia S.p.A., All rights reserved 7 File: SidekickPC Manual (EN).pdf - Date: 20/04/2012
