Private Funds Manager Plus can be installed either on the local hard disk of an individual PC or onto a Network to allow sharing, access from multiple location and the security of network backups.

Before beginning the installation procedure, check the following requirements:

·           The product requires a 32-bit operating system eg Windows 95, 98, XP, NT, Vista.

·           Network installations should be installed to a MAPPED network drive, that all users have appropriate Access Rights to access.

·           Your drive must have a minimum of 20Mb free before starting this installation.

·           Your PCs needs 32Mb of RAM to run this package.

To install the Private Funds Manager to the Stand alone computer:

1.        Put CD in the drive and it will AUTORUN. If it does not go to START - RUN - Browse to the CD drive and select AUTORUN.  Select the option MAIN INSTALLATION

2.       Leave the suggested folder for installation as it is showing, and click on the button with the Computer on to install.

Occasionally one or more of the .DLL  files the Private Funds Manager requires, may already be on your PC. If this is the case the installation will display a Sharing Violation. Click on the Ignore button to continue.

Also occasionally on completion of the installation a message may be displayed saying “An Unexpected Error has occurred”. Click on the Retry button and it should now say Installation Complete.
