Client Installation
After installing or upgrading the ZeeBORN server, the client setup can be executed for installing the client components on a PC to be connected to the server.
The client parts of the system will be installed with the tool ClientSetup.exe. This tool allows to establish and test the connection to the server and will copy all required client components from the server to the local PC.
For the installation of the client software you usually only have to know the name of the server where the ZeeBORN software is installed. After entering the server's name you can click the Test button for checking if a connection can be established.
Important
If the database engine was installed for using a different IP port than 3306, you will need to enter the correct port number in the client setup.
By default the client software components will be installed to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ZeeBORN. If you want or need to install the files to another folder, clear the check box use default configuration and enter the folder to be used manually into text box Program Folder:.
#
Updates/Upgrades
If a newer software version is found on the server, the ZeeBORN software will inform you about the availability of the new version. If you have the necessary Windows user rights for installing new software versions, you can immediately continue with using the ClientSetup.exe for upgrading the already installed client components.
Important
If the ZeeBORN REST service is installed on the same machine, please make sure the service is stopped before installing the client update.
#
Repair
If the setup program detects that the newest client version is already installed on the PC, you can still executed a Repair operation. Clicking on Repair will just re-download all client components from the server and install them on the client PC. The repair mode won't delete any already existing data.
