Packages Introduction

  • WebSA System Administrator Software Standalone

WebSA System Administrator Software package is designed to be operated by non-technical end users. They will be able to manage and monitor their system but will not be able to configure/program it (no [*8] Installer programming). This package will be distributed as one NSIS EXE file and will be generic for both NA & INT markets (no separate market installation packages). As DLS, there will be two types of DLS SA packages: Stand-alone and Workgroup Mode.

Downloading

Download the Web SA executable file from The DSC homepage

Installation

Web SA is built with the future in mind. It runs on Microsoft's powerful .NET Framework 4.0 using SQLite database. If you do not currently have these software packages installed, they will be installed automatically during the Web SA installation process.

The installation process begins once installation file is executed.

Here is a brief run-down of the installation steps:

1. Install the installation executable file from [www.dsc.com].

2. The installation process will check for prerequisite applications (VC++ Runtime, and .NET Framwork 4.0).

3. If the .NET Framework 4.0 software is missing, it is downloaded directly from [www.microsoft.com] and automatically launched.

4. If Visual C++ Runtime components are missing, they are downloaded directly from [www.microsoft.com] and automatically launched.

Once all the prerequisites and engine files are successfully installed, Web SA login window will appear.

NOTE: SQLite is a light-weight database which does not require any database engine installation.

Login
