PDXpert PLM Software
Install Guide
Standard PDXpert System setup
This setup process is for those who want to install PDXpert software on a reasonably current computer, without any special considerations.
You must have administrator rights to your computer, and be the only user logged into Windows. The PDXpert System installer requires Run as administratorpermissions.
Your machine and network security policies must permit internet access to the *.microsoft.com website. The PDXpert system installer examines your machine and, if necessary, downloads missing prerequisites such as the .NET Framework and SQL Server. If your system doesn't have internet access, then install these components before running the PDXpert System Setup.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows with 32-bit SQL Server already installed, do not use the PDXpert system installer to install SQL Server. You must install SQL Server before running the PDXpert System installer. SeeInstalling on computers that already have SQL Server.
