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
The default administrator username and password for Web SA is:
Username = admin
Password = 1234
It is strongly recommended that you change the Administrator's password immediately after installing DLS.
