====== System Five Client Installation ======
===== Summary =====
The overall idea behind installing a client workstation with System Five is to install 2 software packages and connect to the database. The first software package is the Pervasive client database engine, and the second is the System Five application. 

===== Additional information =====
System Five uses the pervasive database engine to connect to the data which resides on the server. Pervasive has transactional and file components meaning file security and permissions for the users running System Five is very important.



===== Requirements =====
Power User Permissions for the Server Windward Share and all its files & SubFolders.

  - Ensure that user is able to see all newly created directories in W:
