About this task

Note: Once the EntraPass installation is complete, a regular user cannot start the software without modifying folder permissions. To resolve the issue, the user must be given full administrator rights to:
  • For 64-bit OS:
    • the C:\Program files(x86)\Advantage 10.10 and C:\Program files(x86)\Kantech folders.
    • the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Kantech and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Advantage Data Architect registry entries.
  • For 32-bit OS:
    • the C:\Program files(x86)\Advantage 10.10 and C:\Program files(x86)\Kantech folders.
    • the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kantech and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Advantage Data Architect registry entries.

Procedure

  1. Before you begin the installation, make sure that no EntraPass application is running.
  2. Insert the software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive (or the USB flash drive in a USB port). The installation program should start automatically if your computer is configured to autorun. If the installation program does not start automatically, click Start > Run, then enter D:\Setup.exe (where D: is the CD-ROM drive) in the displayed field.
  3. Before you go any further, you will be prompted to Choose setup language. English is selected by default.
    Note: The setup (InstallShield) language cannot be changed later on if you need to perform an EntraPass update or install system components with a different language. If you must change the setup language, you have to remove and re-install the software.

    The system and database language depends on the language you select when installing the software. For example, if you select “English”, it will be the system default language at start up. The system and database language can be changed from the EntraPass Server and EntraPass Workstation.
