OSCAR software: 09-09-2013 Installation Instructions

Note: Uninstall any previous installations of OSCAR.

The software is installed locally on a PC using a Microsoft
installer file (MSI file). Follow the instructions below
to install the software. The simple instructions are for
users with administration access, the advanced is for users
that do not have administration access and/or for Windows 7
users with more than one user profile on the PC.

Simple:

1. Downloaded the MSI file.
2. Run it (double click on it)
3. Follow the on-screen instructions

Advanced:

1. Downloaded the MSI file.
2. Note: On some versions of Windows (e.g. Windows 7) you may
   need administrator rights to be able to install the software.
   If you do not have administrator access, then you may need
   to contact your IT department to install the software.
   If you have administrator access, then you can follow the
   simple instructions above.
3. If there are multiple user profiles on the PC, then you may
   need to ensure that the software is installed for all users
   (to ensure if operates correctly). On Windows 7, use the
   following command to do this:

   Type in the following command line in the run box (Search
   programs and files box) on the Start menu and press return:

   msiexec /i C:\OSCAR_DB1_119.msi ALLUSERS=1

   (Note: in the example above the msi file is located directly
   on the C drive, if it is in another drive and/or folder, the
   full path will need to be specified)

   This should install the software ‘per machine’ and thus all
   users should have access to it.


The installation will place an 'OSCAR (Beta Version)' icon on
your desktop and an item your start menu. To start the software
double-click on the 'OSCAR (Beta Version)' icon on the desktop
or select it from the start menu.
