Running BPMS after Installing or Updating BPMS ClientBy default BPMS will install the applications in the Program Files folder (e.g. “C:\Program Files\BPMS6A” or“C:\Progam Files (x86)\BPMS6A”.Often, the permission for most users will have read-only access to that folder. If you know that’s the case, go tonext section.In Windows 7, if VirtualStore is implemented, BPMS application will still work fine because every time a userruns a BPMS application, a copy of the application file will be copied to this folder:C:\Users\ UserName \AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\BPMS6A.If you are not sure, the only way to find out is to ask a regular BPMS user to run that application by followingthese steps:1) Run the “BPMS 6 Admin” application2) If the folder is read-only, an error message like this will appear.You will then be stuck in a loop even if you try to continue. The only way out is to kill the applicationby pressing CTRL ALT DEL then choose START TASK MANAGER. Under the Applications tab,click BPMS then click END TASK then proceed to the next section.Grant update access to BPMS FoldersTo grant full permission to the BPMS application folder to BPMS users, follow these steps:1.

Silent InstallationThis section describes how to run the BPMS full install or update programs silently (without constantinteraction or prompts).Before you beginIF INSTALLING BMPS 6 ADMIN ON A MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIMEIn a silent install, if BMPS 6 Admin was not previously installed, the back-end will default toC:\BMPS6AD\. The next time the user runs the BMPS 6 Admin application, the back-end folder can bechanged back to the appropriate path (from Switchboard form, click Customize File Locations tab,then click the Browse button located next to Back-End text box). On a network we recommend using aUNC path (e.g. \\WATER\BMPS6AD\).IF ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT DOESN’T HAVE UPDATE ACCESS TO BACK-END FOLDEREven if BPMS was already installed, the Admin account needs at least read access, and ideally modifypermission (see next paragraph), to the back-end folder. If the Admin account cannot see the back-endfolder, the back-end will default to C:\BMPS6AD\. The next time the user runs the BMPS 6 Adminapplication, the back-end folder can be changed back to the appropriate path (from Switchboard form,click Customize File Locations tab, then click the Browse button located next to Back-End textbox). On a network we recommend using a UNC path (e.g. \\WATER\BMPS6AD\).If the Admin account doesn’t have modify permission and the installation program needs to add orupdate a file, the installation may abort. In that case, you will need to run the installation in non silentmode at least once at add the new file(s) first before you can run it in silent mode.BPMS Full Install in Silent ModeTo execute a full install in silent mode, follow these steps:1. Using a text editor create a new batch file (e.g. Setup BMPS6A Silent.bat).2. Copy and paste the text below. The text in yellow may need to be changed. Replace “C:\apps\” by the folderwhere the BPMS installation program is located. If you don’t want to grant access to all users, replace“Users” by user or group name (e.g. DOMAIN\Users).Page 10 of 11
