Installation Notes

A new server installation can take 2 to 2½ hours. Each new workstation installation can take 1 hour.
Do not install ProContractor on a computer that was upgraded from a Windows Home version, including upgrades performed using Windows Anytime Upgrade. In this case, you must perform a clean install of the operating system using one of the supported versions.
Consider using the System Tools available in Windows (such as Disc Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter) to maximize your disk space before installing ProContractor.
Ensure that you are not using file compression on any drive or folder that might relate to your ProContractor installation or to your SQL database. (Compressed folders typically appear in blue in Windows Explorer.) Be sure to decompress all related drives and folders before installing ProContractor.
You must completely install the ProContractor server, including all prerequisites. If you are installing a peer-to-peer or server-based network, you must also completely install at least one ProContractor workstation. Note that you can install ProContractor workstations at any time. It's no problem to start with a standalone system and add workstations later.
You may be prompted to restart your computer one or more times during installation. If so, you must restart your computer each time you are prompted in order to successfully complete installation. After you restart your computer, you must click Install to continue installation.
If you receive a message during installation indicating that Windows PowerShell or Microsoft. NET 3.5.1 must be installed from the Server Manager before setup can continue, refer to Knowledge Base Article #150602537351351 on ClearView for details.
You must apply and activate the license you received from Viewpoint on the ProContractor server.
You must set up at least one user as the Service Broker administrator. This user will receive administrative messages (including failure notices) from Service Broker.
You can download and use ViewpointAdvanced Image Manager for free as part of your Viewpoint support agreement. Advanced Image Manager is a valuable tool for modifying and organizing many types of drawings, reports, and image files for import into ProContractor and other applications.
