Installing the M3 Server

 

Installation Preparation

Before you install, verify:
 
  • You are logged on your system with full Administrator rights, at the server as well as the individual workstations.
  • Everyone else is logged out of the M3 system during the installation procedure.
  • You have quit all applications, including the M3 Server and client modules.
 

Installation Procedure

1. Insert the M3 CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation menu should appear. If not, navigate to your CD-ROM drive (D: on most computers) and double-click autorun.exe.
 
2. On the installation menu, click Install M3 Database Server.
 
Note: If you already  have a version  of M3 installed,
you will not be prompted to choose a language; the
program  will use the previously  selected language.
 
3. In the Choose Setup Language dialog box, select the desired language and click OK. This determines the language of the M3 Server setup only; it does not affect the language of the records in your database.
 
4. In the Welcome dialog box, click Next to begin installation.
 
5. In the License Agreement dialog box, review the agreement and click Yes to accept and continue the installation. Or, click No to discontinue.
 
6. In the Choose Destination Location dialog box, either:
•     Click Next to install M3 Server into the default folder location on your hard disk (C:\M3 Server).
OR
•     Click Browse and navigate to the desired folder location. When the desired folder has been selected, click OK, and then click Next.
 
7.      In the Start Copying Files dialog box, review the settings you have chosen. If you want to change any settings, click Back. If you are satisfied with the settings, click Next.
 
8.      In the Setup Complete dialog box, click Finish. If you are prompted to restart your computer, you can do so now or later.
 
9.      Proceed to the next section, “Installing the M3 Core Client Modules.”
