The database engine we use is Pervasive.SQL, (2000i sp 4, or V8.1 and above). You will need to install the client on each workstation. Please refer to Pervasive's documentation to follow the appropriate install instructions (available online at http://www.pervasive.com/support/technical/online_manuals.asp).

CAUTION: if you have installed any software that uses a previous version of Pervasive or Btrieve (especially v6.15), check with that vendor to make sure it is compatible with the latest version of Pervasive.

Repeat these steps for each client machine that is to access Summit. 

Please print this page and check off the steps as you complete them.

  Make sure your Summit server installation is complete.

  Map a drive letter to the server share. e.g. J:.

  Start the Pervasive setup. Accept the default location and "typical installation". If the installation does NOT PASS all the connectivity and functionality tests, contact Pervasive Tech Support for help in configuring your system.

  Download SmtInstC.exe from the Summit web site to your desktop or a temporary folder and execute it. (Call Support at 800-771-1827 x4 to get the installation password.)
-- or --
Insert the installation CD. If the installer doesn’t automatically start, run setup.exe from the CD. (Start>Run>D:\setup.exe, where D: is the drive letter of your CD)

Follow the instructions as presented by the installation wizard, accepting defaults unless otherwise instructed by Support.

At the end of the installation process, you will be prompted to specify your server name and Summit home folder.

  The server name is necessary to logon to the database. Use the Browse button to find it if you don't know it.

  The home folder name is necessary to logon to the database. Use the Browse button to find it if you don't know it. This is the folder (in the mapped drive letter in #2 above) that contains the modules and database folders, e.g. J:\Smt. This is not the database folder.

  Press Save to create registry entries for the system.
