Part 1 - Selecting a Location

Top  Previous  Next

The first thing you need to do is decide where you are going to install PhonePad.  This should be a folder on your server that all users have access to.

 

Although PhonePad will default to installing under C:\Program Files (x86)\PhonePad, it is recommended you select another folder.  The reason for this is because C:\Program Files (x86) is tightly controlled by Windows and you will likely get a headache trying to get it working properly because of permission issues.

 

If you have another local hard-drive (or logical partition), eg. a D: drive, then it is recommended you install PhonePad in a shared folder on that drive.  Otherwise, try installing it in a folder on the C: drive other than C:\Program Files (x86), C:\Program Files or C:\ProgramData.  Remember, it needs to be shared so that users can access it from their workstations.

 

We do not recommend installing PhonePad on a USB drive or NAS drive due to performance issues associated with these types of drives.

 

Once you have decided where on your network you are going to install PhonePad, please proceed to the Part 2.
