NOTE: The project MUST be installed in folder WRH (in any drive of your choice) -
Example: C:\WRH or D:\WRH or J:\WRH Etc.
When using from a networked PC, map the shared server drive, C: or D: or \Public\ or \Shared Documents\ drive to a single letter. Example J: or any other free letter. Then install the software in the free letter, Example 'J'. You can create a shortcut from the project application 'SNs Maritime ... 2003.exe' or 'SNs Maritime ... 2007.exe' file in this folder (Example J:\WRH) to your server and other LAN PC desktop.
Install this software on all PCs in the LAN which have their own Windows and MS Office. That is, all PCs that are not thin clients. After installing the software in the local C:\WRH or D:\WRH from the setup file, delete the entire C:\WRH or D:\WRH folder in all the other PCs except the server PC. This step is necessary to register MSCOMCTL.ocx properly.
