There are several issues you need to be aware of before, during or immediately after installing Enviro Data.
Installing
You may need Windows security permissions to install Enviro Data. If you receive an InstallShield error like the one below, this is likely a Windows issue. Check with your IT Department as they may have to install the program for you.During
During Installation
An add-in, GeoObjects, is installed after the Enviro Data install completes. It should show a popup indicating that this install has completed. On some computers either the install progress window may not display at all or, remains on the screen after the install has completed. If you see this popup and it does not close, wait a minute or so and click on Cancel or Exit Setup to remove it.
During the install, a sample database called EnvDData8.mdb is copied into the program folder, C:\Enviro\EData8. Enviro Data connects to this database by default when it is first opened. You can use this database to take the Tour in both the EDITOR and the VIEWER to learn how to use the program.
After Installation
The Enviro Data installation should add desktop icons for both the EDITOR and the VIEWER. Sometimes these icons are hidden and may not display. To correct this either right click on the desktop and select Refresh or push F5 on your keyboard to restore them. (You may be asked to enter your Window's credentials when you do this.)
The first time you open the Editor and/or Viewer, you may see a display a bar shown below. Click on the bar, select Enable Content, then Enable All Content and this message will go away. You only need to do this once for each program. If the bar is partly obscured by the splash screen, you can wait a few seconds and then dismiss it.
You will be asked to enter a software key to license the program. You should have received this key when you purchased Enviro Data. If the key you have been given is for a concurrent license, you will need to follow the instructions to set that up.
If you do not enter a key and leave this form blank, you are given 7 days until the program stops working. If you are evaluating Enviro Data and need more time, you can contact Geotech for a code to extend your evaluation to 30 days at no charge.
