Installation instructions
To successfully complete the installation, it is essential to that the session Windows is run
in Administrator mode.
When using the installation CD, simply insert it into the drive, the installation process will
start automatically. If this is not the case, explore the content of the CD-ROM and run
the file "Setup.exe" file located in the root.
When using the downloaded install run the "Installelecworks.exe" file, (this can be
obtained from the "elecworks.com customer portal"). Running the exe file will unpack
the contents and automatically launch the installation.
The "Standalone" installation will allow the user to run the software on a workstation.
The databases will be installed locally and are not shared. The "Client Server" installation
allows users to share data (symbols, catalogues…) so that several users can work with
the same projects.
The Setup program automatically recognizes the operating system language and will
switch installation interface to that language. It also detects the presence of any
previously installed version of elecworks on the computer and adapts the interface
accordingly.

First installation
The "Standalone" installation allows the use of the software on a single workstation. The
components necessary for the operation of the software will be installed on the
workstation.
The "Client Server" installation allows the use of the software through a company
network. The data is stored on a server, which allows several users to work
simultaneously on the same projects. Data (libraries and projects) is installed on the
server and is accessible to all users. The application is installed on each workstation
individually.

Standalone installation
elecworks SQL format databases. The PC on which the installation is carried out may
already have an SQL server installed. The Setup program will automatically detect the
presence of SQL on the PC and the installation interface will automatically adapt to
accommodate this.
The Setup program has detected the presence of an SQL Server database.
5
Installation of a new SQL Server database
When installing for the first time it is essential that all the
component options be checked on.
6
This interface permits entry of the necessary values to connect
to the collaborative server.
Permitted values are:
-The name of the computer.
-"LOCALHOST".
-Address "127.0.0.1".
-The IP address of the computer
7
Installation with an existing SQL Server database
The installation setup will automatically detect if an SQL Server database already exists
on the computer. Users have the choice between the creation of a new SQL Server
instance or the addition of an elecworks database in an existing SQL Server instance.
When installing for the first time it is essential that all the
component options be checked on.
8
Users can now choose between creating a new SQL Server
instance or the addition of the elecworks databases to the
existing SQL Server instance.
9
Installing another SQL Server instance for elecworks
An SQL Server instance has been detected on the computer where Setup was launched.
The user has chosen to ignore this and create a new SQL Server instance.
10
The installation is completed, the license(s) must now be
enabled in order to run elecworks.
11
Add the elecworks databases to an existing SQL Server
An SQL Server instance has been detected on the computer where Setup was launched.
The user has chosen to install the elecworks data in this database instance.
Select the SQL Server instance that you want to use from
the list available.
Enter the login and password required to connect to the
SQL Server instance.
To verify the connection to the SQL Server instance, click
the button
Enter the password for the "TEW" user. In the absence of

12
The installation is completed, the license(s) must now be
enabled in order to run elecworks.
13
Installing Client / Server
You must run the client server installation on the computer identified as the
"Server". If this is not the case, quit the Setup program and restart it on the
"Server".
In "Client / Server" mode, the workstations will share the same data (projects, symbols
libraries, catalogues…). The application should be installed on all workstations.
The "Server" will contain all the data and will host the "collaborative server", this is
necessary for the exchange of data between workstations.
Note: The workstations will only be able to access the data when the collaborative server
is working. The use of a workstation as the server is prohibited.
elecworks uses SQL Server format databases. The computer on which the installation is
carried out may already have an SQL Server database installed.
The Setup program automatically detects the presence of this type of database and
adapts its interface accordingly.

elecworks maintenance (Update / Reinstallation/ Remove)
Maintenance of elecworks can be carried out as follows:
-Installing an update.
-Remove elecworks.
Install an update: Do not uninstall the existing version as all data created will be lost.
It is recommended to archive the environment before updating the program. The Setup
program will automatically use the settings registered during the initial installation, this
includes directory paths, SQL connection information etc.
In the case of the update or a "Client / Server" installation, proceed in the same way as
during the initial installation, start with the installation of the server and then
workstations.

The installation is complete, you may enable your license(s) to use elecworks.
29
Remove
Delete data: The program deletes the data directory and launches the SQL Server
Express uninstaller.
Keep data: The installation program will not delete the directory containing the data and
the SQL Server instance is preserved.
30
This interface is the last step prior to elecworks being
uninstalled.
31
Refresh elecworks data
After an update of elecworks, new data must be processed in order for it to be
integrated into the databases. The data is merged automatically when elecworks is
launched the first time. For a Client / Server installation, the first work station to be
launched will refresh the data on the server.
The first data update after installation of the program can take some time, higher
specification PC’s will reduce the time taken.
