Installing the SDS Software
IMPORTANT: The person installing the SDS Software must have administrative rights on the
computer(s) where the installation is taking place for the installation to be successful.
Double-click on the setup file, setup.exe, to start the auto-installation. (Avoid installing from
SDSSetup.msi, as this will not install prerequisites if necessary.) If there is no version of the
SDS Reporter running on the computer, the installation will prompt the user for the download
location (Figure 11).

Prerequisites for installing SDS Reporter include .NET Framework 2.0, SQL CE 3.5, and either
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. The setup.exe program will check to make sure
that these prerequisites are installed and, if necessary, install them.
The default location is “C:\SSI\SDS”. Click on the “Browse” button to select an alternate
location. Clicking on the “Disk Cost…” button will display the available computer drives onto
which the SDS Reporter can be downloaded, as well as the total space, available space, and
required space for each drive. Selecting the “Everyone” option will install the SDS Reporter for
all users on the computer, while selecting the “Just me” option will only install the
SDSReporter for the current user. Clicking on the “Cancel” button will prompt the user to
confirm exiting the setup without continuing. Clicking on the “< Back” button will display the
previous screen, which is the introduction screen for the installer. Clicking the “Next >” button
will continue with the installation process (Figure 12).
