Installing Checkin

If there is a previous version of the program, you must first uninstall it.

Uninstall previous version

1. See if there is a CmsCheckin shortcut on the desktop, that is your indicator that there is an existing program that needs to be uninstalled.
2. Goto the Control Panel -> Programs and Features and find Check-In
3. Choose that and click UnInstall link or button
4. This will remove the CmsCheckin shortcut on the desktop too.

Install the new version

1. You can find it here.
2. There are possibly several versions on this page. Choose the latest version that is not beta (unless you have been instructed otherwise)
3. Then you can unzip the document
4. Note you may need to enter a password if you have been given one.
5. There will be two files: an .exe and an .msi file.
6. Extract them to somewhere on your machine.
7. Run the setup.exe program.
8. If you have already installed this before it should go very quickly, follow the prompts.
9. If you have not installed before, it will take about 20 minutes to download and install the .NET Framework
10. Verify that it installed correctly by running the program.
11. If you see the startup dialog, it has installed correctly.
12. Click the red x to close it.
13. If you see a full screen phone number pad, you can close the software with Alt-F4.
14. You can safely remove the zip, and setup.exe and msi files now.
