Installation Instructions
- Download the file “SOARSetup.exe” to your desktop by right-clicking on the filename, selecting “save target as”, and choosing your desktop (the link can be found in the "Download Links" section at the bottom of this page).
- Double-click on the setup file that you saved on your desktop to launch the installer.
- The installer will tell you that there are 2 products available: SOAR Data Tracking Program
2.0.1 and SOAR Data Consolidation Program 1.0. (see "Program Descriptions" for details). Choose the product that you would like to install and follow the on-screen instructions. After installing one product, you will be taken back to the product menu so that you have a chance to install the other product if you do desire.
- When you have completed your installations, exit the installer using the button provided.
- After exiting the installer, you can delete the "SOARSetup” file from your desktop.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT INSTALLATION:
When you choose to install the SOAR Data Tracking Program, you will be given two options:
New installation: This option should be used ONLY if you have never installed a previous version of the program on your machine.
Upgrade: If you have installed a previous version, be sure to use the “Upgrade” option. Upgrading rather than doing a new installation will keep any data from an old version of the program. If you do have any data stored in an existing version of the program, you may lose that data if you do a new installation.
Notes about program security
If you used the “security settings” in an old version of the program to restrict access to it with a password, you’ll have to set the password again after you upgrade. The installer will remove your old security settings.
