LandWare Plus Installation

Thank you for taking the time to learn about LandWare Plus!

You can now can see for yourself why this has quickly become the most popular Rental Property Management System integrating with ACCPAC Plus.

Evaluation System Requirements:


The minimum you need to operate LandWare is:
 ACCPAC Plus Windowing System Manager Version 6.1 or higher
 A DOS based 286 micro-computer with at least 640K of memory

Creating an Installation Disk:


Your evaluation copy of LandWare contains a sample chart of accounts with properties and units already set up for you. This allows you to review all the functions in the system.

  1. Before you can install the evaluation copy you must unzip the self-extracting EXE to a floppy diskette so that it can be recognized in the normal installation manner of the ACCPAC Windowing System Manager.

  2. For simplicity make a temporary directory so that the file is easy to find. ie. MKDIR\LWEVAL

  3. From DOS move to the subdirectory (CD\LWEVAL) and type the following; lweval -d a: (Special Note: Make sure you are in the subdirectory you created in option #2, and that you have a blank floppy diskette in your floppy drive a:.)

    It will be extracting all the files and creating an ACCPAC installable diskette.

  4. Once this is completed, take the new diskette, and label it LandWare Plus Eval. Then you can proceed to the ACCPAC W.S.M. "F3" install command.

    Installing Your Evaluation Copy:


    Once your Windowing System Manager is installed, install LandWare as follows:
    1. Run your ACCPAC system by typing PLUS at your C: prompt.
    2. When the Start List appears press F3 to call up the System Manager.
    3. Cursor down to INSTALL PROGRAMS.
    4. Insert the LandWare Plus evaluation disk you have created into drive A: and press RETURN to begin the installation.
    5. Once the installation is complete press ESCAPE until you have returned to the Windowing System Manager Start List. Your start list should now have LandWare Plus Sample Data as an option.

    Starting LandWare Plus:


    Highlight "LandWare Plus Sample Data" on your start list and press return.

    a. The date of your work session (defaults to today) For the sample data, enter March 1, 1996, then press Return.
