   Installation Guide



IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - Comply Guard is built as a Client - Server based application.  The main Comply Guard files (or server component) should only be installed once!  The Client portion of Comply Guard needs to be installed on EACH workstation that will run Comply Guard.  Also,  the client install MUST be run FROM each workstation it is being installed on.

Installing the Comply Guard Server component files (Do this first)

Installing the Comply Guard client program on each workstation


STEP 1 - Installing the Comply Guard Server component files.

1.    First, please determine how you obtained the Comply Guard setup program.   You should have downloaded the setup from the internet or obtained it on a CD.

  If you downloaded the Comply Guard setup from the internet
Locate the Comply Guard install file that you downloaded from the internet.  The file will be named CGUARD.EXE and should be in the folder that you selected to save to when you downloaded the file.  Make a note of the location of the CGUARD.EXE file.  For our instructional purposes here, lets say that you downloaded the file into a folder called 'downloads' on your C: drive.  Thus the location of the CGUARD.EXE file would then be 'C:\downloads'. 
Next you will run the CGUARD.EXE file.  There are 2 ways that this can be done
  Method 1- Using 'Windows Explorer' or 'My Computer' open the folder as specified above.  Now using your mouse, double left click on the CGUARD.EXE file.  After doubling clicking on the file, the Comply Guard installation program will begin.  You can now go to number 2 below.
  Method 2- Using your mouse left click on your Windows START button.   A menu should pop up.  Now left click on RUN.  A new RUN window will now appear.  In the line next to the word 'Open' type in the path (location) to the CGUARD.EXE file that you downloaded.  For instance, using our example above, the path to the file would be as follows.  'C:\downloads\cguard.exe' .     Then press the ENTER key or left click on the OK button.  The Comply Guard installation program should begin to run.  You can now continue to number 2 below.
  If you obtained Comply Guard on a CD
Insert the Comply Guard setup CD into your CD ROM drive.  The auto run feature should begin and the setup program should appear on your screen.  If it does please skip to number 2 below.  If it does not then please left click on the Windows Start button.  Then left click on run.   In the line next to the word 'Open' type in 'E:\setup.exe'  (where E is the letter of your CD ROM drive.  You will need to substitute with the correct letter of your CD ROM drive).   Next press enter or left click on the Ok button.   The InstallShield Wizard setup program should appear on your screen.  


2.    At this point the Comply Guard InstallShield Wizard installation program should be running.  On your screen you should see something similar to the screen below.

4.    Next the Comply Guard installation readme screen will appear.  Please read this screen carefully.  You can then left click on the Next button.

* VERY IMPORTANT *
This screen is where you tell the install program where the main Comply Guard program will run from.
Comply Guard can be installed as a stand alone version OR a multi user version.

STAND ALONE 1 USER INSTALLATION
If you are going to run Comply Guard on only your machine and do not want to share the data with other users in your company, then you can leave this screen alone and click the Next button.  If you wish to change where the program is installed then click the Change button and make the changes as necessary and then click the Next button.
MULTI USER INSTALLATION
If you are going to run Comply Guard in Multi User mode so that others in your company can share the data then the main program (server component) must be installed on one of your shared network drives.  In other words, it must be installed in a place that all of the users that want to use it can get to it over the network.   To do this you will need to change the folder in which Comply Guard is installed to.  Left click on the Change button and select the appropriate shared drive/folder and then left click on the Next button.

7.    You should now see the 'Ready To Install The Program' screen.    Please take a moment and review the information on this screen.  If everything looks ok then go ahead and left click on the Install button.  If you need to change something then go ahead and left click on the Back button make changes as needed.

8.    The wizard will now begin installing the main Comply Guard program and copying files as necessary.

If this is a single user installation on your machine OR is a multi user installation and you would like to run Comply Guard on the current computer, then you should go ahead and make sure that the 'Launch Client Install box' is checked.  Please note that you can always perform the client install at a later time, but the client install MUST be run on each work station that will be using Comply Guard.

Click on the Finish button.

If you placed a check in the Launch Client Install checkbox, the Client Install will now begin.  You can now go to that step below.
