How to Install Infotrove on Windows Platforms
-----------------------------------------------

Infotrove is delievered in a self contained installation exe file. 
This installation exe file contains an msi file and a version of 
windows installer for machines that don't have windows installer 
already installed.

Preparation
-----------
Infotrove runs as a service under the LOCALSYSTEM user and hence it 
must use the local hard drive of the server. The local hard drive 
can be a IDE or SCSI drive but it must be phyiscally located on the 
machine. The drive can't be networked or mapped. 

The infotrove service comes with it's own database and builtin http server. 
The database runs on the local filesystem and the http server runs on the 
default port 80. NOTE: If you have IIS running on port 80 of the server 
then you can change the infotrove port to something else, say 4000. 

The disk space required for infotrove is approximately 1:1 when compared 
to raw file space. 
For example, if you have a folder of files that uses 1GB then the 
infotrove space required for these files would be 1GB. This also allows for 
typical version storage as well.

To Install.
-----------

1) Login as as administrator.

2) Execute the .exe file. A setup dialog window will appear.

3) Accept the license agreement.

4) Enter the server information;
     - The server address. (default server name) 
       NOTE: You should enter a full DNS path if infotrove is to be accessed 
             on the external internet.
     - The http port. (default 80)

5) Enter the destination folder;
     - Binary Folder (default c:\Program Files\Infotrove)
     - User Files Folder (default c:\Program Files\Infotrove User Files)

6) You should be looking at the start page now.
     The start page will show you how to restart the server and restore the 
     initial default user.


Infotrove Licenses
-------------------
Infotrove is shipped with a default evaluation license. This license 
is valid for 30 days and 5 users. The evaluation must be installed first 
so the HOSTID can be determined. The HOSTID is used to tie your license 
to your server. Please submit your HOSTID when asking for a quote.


To install the license
----------------------
When you purchase a license it will be emailed to you in the form of 
a key.txt file. This key.txt file should be saved to your local drive.

The key.txt license file can then be installed via the windows shortcut 
Start->Programs->InfoTrove->License Installer. 

To upgrade
----------
The Infotrove installation .exe file will check to see if any old versions 
of Infotrove are installed. It will automatically uninstall the old versions 
before installing the new version. Your user files and documents will not 
be affected.

NOTE: You cannot downgrade back to a previous version as the installation 
process parses the user database files and updates them to suit the version 
of the binary.
