Presidio™ Prerequisite Installation

Presidio runs on the .NET 4 Extended framework and requires a few supporting components
The Prerequisite installer will need to run one time on every Presidio workstation.
------------------------------
The automatic prerequisite software installer is now available.
Download and allow to run - https://support.printerssoftware.com/pub/PSIPrereqs.exe
Saves time, less to download, cleans up after itself when its complete.
*Close / Exit all open programs before running*
--------------------------------------

Included in this step are the following components - 

  1. .NET 4 Extended Framework
  2. VC++ 2010 CLR Redistributables
  3. Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Components
  4. QuickBooks Libraries - QB is optional and does NOT need to be installed on all workstations.

Presidio™ Server & Database Configuration

Provision a Presidio ‘Common Files’ network shared folder – this can be located on the Presidio database server or any file server on your network as long as all Presidio users have Read / Write Permissions to all files and subdirectories within the Presidio ‘Common Files’ share.
 
The following database installation instructions assumes Microsoft SQL Server has been fully installed and configured.
For set-up instructions or to schedule remote installation service please contact us
 
  1. Extract the contents of the PresidioInstallVxxxx.zip file -
  2. Execute the following .msi – ‘..\Database\PresidioDBInstall.msi’
  3. Provide database connection string values, press ‘Install’.
    Upon Successful completion your database will now be ready to accept client connections.
    *SQL User for DB install requires Data Reader and Writer Permissions on the Master Database*

 

 

Presidio™ Client Setup

  1. On the server or an appropriate workstation - Extract the contents of PresidioInstallVxxxx.zip
  2. Execute the following .msi – ‘PresidioInstallVxxxx\Application\PresidioAppInstalll.msi’
    Installation should complete quickly.

    Once the installer window exits you will have a new Program in your Start Menu Programs as well as a new Desktop icon for Presidio as seen in the following screenshot: 
 
3.   On first run the application you will be asked for connection settings to your database on ‘YourServer’
Example Database Connection String Values:
Server:        YourServer\Presidio
User: SA
Password: *******
 
Post Installation Configuration:
  1. Launch Presidio, input activation code, and then restart the application.
  2. At the program shell access system settings via the top menu bar items:
    Tools > Setup > System Settings- System Tab
     
  3. Configure the ‘Common Document Folder’ with the UNC or mapped drive path you created during ‘Server Setup’ To unlock the text box click within it and press CTRL+ F9
    Input your path and press ‘Save’ – This will immediately move your Presidio system files out to the network shared directory. If any errors are reported check to make sure shared directory and NTFS file system permissions are properly configured for the user making the configuration changes.
  4. In the root of the unzipped ‘PresidioInstallVxxxx’ folder you should see 4 subdirectories:
    (Application, Database, EventProcessor, ShopNet)
    These contain the installation files for your client workstations - they need to be copied out to the Presidio network shared folder. Copy the 4 folders, navigate to your Presidio network shared folder and locate the ‘\SystemDocuments\Install’ directory – Delete the existing folders and paste the folders you copied from the installation package. Shared contents should appear similar to the following screenshot:
    (time stamps will differ)

    If your users have appropriate permissions to access the files in these directories and your security policies allow them to do so they can manually execute the client application installation .msi file located in the Presidio network shared folder at the following path:‘\SystemDocuments\Install\Application\PresidioAppInstall.msi’

The Prerequisite Installer program will detect, download, and install only the components required to run Presidio on each PC.
*Close / Exit out of all running applications on your PC* 
Allow ~ 5 - 10 min for installation to complete uninterrupted:
(depending on connection speed and detected requirements)
Installation status bar may appear to halt while downloading components in the background. 
The Automatic Prerequisite Installer program will remove all temp files when it has completed.
    Software Prerequisites Include:
    MS .Net 4.0 Extended, MS VC2010 Runtime, SAP Crystal Reports 2008 sp4 Runtime, Optional Quickbooks QBFC
  1. Presidio may then be installed directly from the network shared directory:
    Open Windows Explorer (Winkey + E) or ‘My Computer’ and browse to the Presidio network folder then install the Presidio Application by double-clicking 'PresidioAppInstall.msi’
    \\YourServer\Presidio\SystemDocuments\Install\Application\PresidioAppInstall.msi
 
 
  1. Installation should complete quickly.
Once the installer window exits you will have a new Program in your Start Menu Programs as well as a new Desktop icon for Presidio as seen in the screenshot below. 
 
 
On first run the application you will be asked for connection settings to your database.
Example Database Connection String Values:
Server:        YourServer\Presidio
