The Benchmarking Application (BA) Download Instructions:
(It is
highly recommended to first uninstall previous versions by going to
Start/Programs/MVI Benchmarking and Uninstall)
-
CLICK HERE
for a "print friendly" version
of these instructions for reference and select the
Download button
-
Select “Save”
on the File Download Window
-
Choose Desktop
as the location for the Save As window
-
Double-click the
“BA Install X.X.exe” zip file on your desktop and select Unzip
and close the WinZip windows.
-
Open the newly created
“BA Install X.X” folder on your desktop and select “setup_MVI_Full_X.exe”
-
Follow the installation instructions leaving all
defaults. (Note: if installed previously, uninstall the previous
version first and select “REPAIR” during both the
VFP9 and the MyODBC Setup process.)
-
Select the “BA by
MVIB” butterfly icon on your desktop
-
The default ID of DEMO
will allow you to run the Benchmarking Application
(BA) against Demonstration data. After your first Upload is processed
to the Master Data Set you may run the BA for real time
comparison.
Note:
The great majority of installation issues pertain to Firewall settings and
user rights.
Both the BA Install X.X zip file and folder may be deleted after the installation. The BA
Install folder may be copied to your server to install from the server to
additional workstations at no additional cost. However, the installations
must always install to the local workstation default C drive.
