1st Time Admin and Client Installation

 

The ShipGear 4 installer can install both the ShipGear Admin Console and the ShipGear Client. When installing the Admin, if a WorldShip or Ship Manager installation is detected, the installer will automatically proceed to the Client installation once the Admin install is complete.

Please shut down any running carrier systems prior to starting the installation.

 

 

Installation

To begin the installation, click on the download link in the email you received, and save the .EXE to a local directory. Then, run the .EXE. Or, if you received an installation CD, insert the ShipGear CD into the CD-ROM drive.

 

Depending upon your operating system, you may need to allow ShipGear installation to run. Click Yes on this dialog :





Note : .NET 4.5.2 is required for both the Admin and Client. The ShipGear Installer will first check to see if Microsoft .NET 4.5.2 is installed. If it is not installed, the .NET 4.5.2 install wizard will commence. Follow the instructions and then continue with the ShipGear installation.

  3. Disable Antivirus : It is absolutely crucial for a successful installation that you disable any antivirus software or settings.

Once you have disabled your antivirus software, click Next.
