Installing MRSware using Windows 7, 8, 10

August 13, 2016 comment

Each version of Windows has a little bit differently styled prompts (and possibly slightly different wording on those), but the installation instructions are the same for all versions of Windows.  We have 3 versions of Windows installed in our test lab, which we test new releases of MRSware against -- Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 (including the Windows 10 "Anniversary Update" [Fall 2016]).

I have recently installed MRSware on 2 computers using the Windows 7 operating system.  Here are step by step instructions:

1. Go to Download MRSware
2. Print out instructions (optional, but helpful)
3. Step 1 - click on the link "Microsoft's .NET Framework v1.1" to install

•  Click on "Run"
• ​ Select "Yes" when asked "Do you want to allow following program to make changes to this computer?"
•  Select "Yes" when asked "Would you like to install Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 Package?"
•  Select "Run Program" when prompted with "This program has known compatibility issues"
•  In the Set up dialog click "I agree" -> click "Install" -> select "OK" when you see :Installation is complete"

4. Step 2 - click on "Install MRSware 2.2" (this post was written quite a while ago; we are now on MRSware 4.2)

• Click on "Run"
• Click on "Run" when asked "Publisher could not be verified.  Sure you want to run?"
• In the MRSware dialog wizard click "Next" -> "I agree" -> "Next" to start installation 
• Select "Yes" when asked "Allow Publisher to make changes to computer?" -> Select "Close" to exit
