Step-by-Step Instructions

 

To obtain the Category Management System, download CMS.ZIP for Windows XP and place it in an empty folder on your hard disk. The file is a compressed, self-extracting file. After you download the file, run it to extract the files.

  • Installation of the Category Management System is designed to take place from within Microsoft Windows.
  • For SQL Server installation instructions for the Category Management System, open the document READMESQL.TXT that is in the folder with SETUP.EXE.
  • Run the SETUP.EXE program in the folder you extracted the files into and follow the instructions that appear.
  • After the setup is successfully completed, you may safely delete the downloaded file.

Technical note: In order for your cutting tests to be imported from your current 3.1 version to this new version, you must have the 3.1 version working on the same pc that you are installing this new version. If not, you may need to contact us in order to migrate your previous tests to the new version of the Category Management System.
