Question
How can we install Work-IT client PC software via folder sharing and internet explorer ?
If we want to do a second installation on another PC in the same network, we can do a Client installation, by following those steps:
1- Work-IT folder sharing in the network
1. Open the PC where the Work-It is already as server installed.
2. Go to the Work-IT folder and open the Network Access screen for this folder, using one of these 2 ways:
(
a) Right-click on WorkIT folder and choose
Properties then click on
Share Tab, then click on
Share... button
(
b) Or right click on WorkIT folder and choose
Give access to , then Click on
Specific people...
3- In the
Network Access screen, choose
Everyone (or
Find People... if the access is for a specific people), then click on
Add button.
4- In
Permission level, choose
Read/
Write, then click
Share button.
5- At the end, click
Done.
2- Install Work-IT Client on the other PC via Internet explorer
1- To check in the other PC that the folder WorkIT is well shared and accessible, we can see the shared folders on Server PC by the
Run screen:
Type
\\ IP address or
\\ computer name of the server PC, then click
OK. for example (
\\10.28.40.100 )
You'll see then all shared folders:
2- in the Internet explorer type http://
ip address of the server PC/workit/ , For example ( http://
10.28.40.100/workit/)
then click
Install from iexplorer.
- Often you need to be granted access by the
Anti virus software to proceed with the installation.
- Or add the Work-It Ports in
Windows defender firewall, of make TCP protocol "
Enabled " in
SQL Server configuration manger, see the article:
