Installation on a PC.

After clicking on the E-SPIR 2000 Advisor program download button instructions will pop up, whereby you will be requested to select a temporary directory for downloading the program. After the download is completed, you will have to search for this temporary folder.  Or go to Explorer, Tools and Find, select Files or Folders. Type: Advisor_Final.exe and click on Search Now.  After the search has been done, double click on Advisor_Final.exe. The system will set up a directory: C:Program Files/E-SPIR 2000 Advisor V701 to install the program.

After installation, copy the subfolder E-SPIR DataAdvisorSPIRs from the E-SPIR 2000 Advisor V701 directory to: either Apps, My Documents or Server (see network environment below).

The program will start, go to Menu bar, select File. A selection box appears to locate the database.  Search for the copied folder DataAdvisorSPIRs in Apps, My Documents or the Server, open DataAdvisorSPIRs and double click on E-SPIR_A.mdb.

Network environment

The E-SPIR 2000 program can also be used as a multi-user application on a PC network. The Set-up procedure in a network should be as follows:
Do not install the E-SPIR 2000 program on the server, but on each individual PC from where the E-SPIR program will be used. Then, copy the folder DataAdvisorSPIRs of one of the PC's from the C:\Program files\E-SPIR 2000 Advisor V701 to a directory on the server. All users must have read and write access to that directory. All PC's should be set to that specific database file.

EXISTING E-SPIR 2000 USERS

Convert data from a previous to version 7.0.1 in the Advisor program.

Download the program as stated above under NEW E-SPIR 2000 USERS, Installation on a PC. If the system requests you to de-install the previous version 7.0.0 you can confirm this without losing .mdb files.

Copy the old E_SPIR_A.mdb file in which you have been working before from the previous version E-SPIR 2000 data folder to the latest copied DataAdvisorSPIRs folder in Apps, My Documents or Server.

When you start up the program by double clicking on E_SPIR_A_701.exe, it will request you to enter Company details. Ignore this message and close the screen.

Go to the E-SPIR Menu bar and select File. A selection box appears to locate the database. Search for the copied folder DataAdvisorSPIRs in Apps, My Documents, or Server, open DataAdvisorSPIRs and double click on E-SPIR_A.mdb. The program will automatically convert the data from the previous version to the latest version.

If your V7 program works fine after installation and extensive testing, we recommend de-installing the previous E-SPIR 2000 version program after 1 or 2 weeks.
