     - Preparing directory on Server
     - Installing Pervasive SQL Server
     - Installing Windward System Five
     - Initial launch of Windward System Five and creation of data set

**Review the [[faq:windows_networking_best_practices|Networking Best Practices]] before proceeding.**

===== Requirements =====
Administrator Permissions for the Server Windward Share and all its files & SubFolders with full Read/Write access

== Please ensure that there are no spaces in the directory names for Windward files ==

Applicable to Pervasive 12 & System 5 version 6.2 UP

====== Microsoft Server Directory Preparation for Installation ======


  - On the ROOT of your C:\ drive, create a new folder named 'Windward'. Alternatively, if you have a second hard drive installed in your computer, creating a 'Windward' folder on the ROOT of that drive would also be acceptable. 
  - Within the newly created '[Drive]:\Windward' folder, create a folder named 'Temp'
  - Locate the installer file directory and locate System5Install.exe
  - Have a copy of the said installer and saved in the Temp folder you created.

====== System Five Client Installation on Microsoft Windows 8 or higher ======

===== 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. 







===== Checks & Measures =====

  * There should be a file named s5install.exe or install.exe located in [Drive]:\temp
  * There should be "PVSW", "System5", and "Temp" Directories under the [Drive]:\ drive
  * You should be able to read, write, and modify all files within the [Drive]:\ drive
  * Under [Drive]:\PVSW there should be a client folder. This folder contains the installation files for the Pervasive Client
  * Under [Drive]:\Temp you should see: install.exe (or S5install.exe) and a PVSW_***XXXX*** folder. Where ***XXXX*** will bent, single or client depending on whether you are using a peer-to-peer or client-server setup

===== 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 are very important.




===== Requirements =====
Administrator Permissions for the Server Windward Share and all its files & SubFolders with full Read/Write






===== Installation of Pervasive Engine on workstation =====


** Note: Where [Drive] is the drive that you will be installing to (Default being C: drive)
  - Map a drive to Server shared 'Windward' folder as [Drive]:
  - Ensure that the user is able to see all newly created directories in [Drive]:
  - Run [Drive]:\PVSW\Clients\Win\Setup.exe do a 'Custom' install and Install to [Drive]:\Windward\PVSW
  - Perform all Communication Tests and Transactional tests.




===== Installation of Windward System Five on workstation =====

  - Run [Drive]:\Temp\install.exe (If a new installation file has been downloaded use [Drive]:\Temp\s5install.exe)
  - Install to [Drive]:\Windward\System5 to do a local install, do not install to a remote drive.
  - Accept all other default settings. Finish installation
  - Shortcut on Workstation desktop is linked to: [Drive]:\Windward\System5\Bin\systemfive.exe




===== Link an existing Workstation to data set =====

  - Launch System Five from desktop shortcut.
  - Select "Link workstation to an existing networked company" and click next
  - Browse to Mapped network drive location [Drive]:\System5\Data (Or where 'Data' folder has another name eg: "MyCompany")and click next
  - Assign a terminal number from available terminals and click 'Next'
  - You will then receive a message stating that your terminal has been set up. Click 'Finish' to continue

===== Modifying Desktop Shortcut to prevent terminal ID change =====
  - Right-click the shortcut and select 'Properties'
  - In the 'Target' box, ensure that the line reads C:\Windward\System5\Bin\systemfive.exe
  - At the end of that line add the command ' /Forcemachine=#' where # is the assigned terminal number
  - Printer settings are terminal-specific, the above command prevents users from inadvertently changing a terminal number on a workstation thereby losing the ability to print
  - Additionally you can use the optional command 'smallsplash' to make the splashscreen smaller.
  - Full target line in shortcut properties would be as follows: '[Drive]:\Windward\System5\Bin\systemfive.exe /smallsplash forcemachine=#' where # is assigned a terminal number.
  - In the 'Start In' box in shortcut properties, make the entry '[Drive]:\System5\Data'.  This will lock that shortcut to a specific data set (Should you have more than one ie: A Training Data Set)
