To share the database in Local Area Network, a standalone Firebird database server should be installed on a host machine where the database file is saved.
Run "setup.exe" in the zip file and follow the prompts.
Generally, you need to be a power user or administrator to install the program files, or you may run the setup program as administrator on a normal user log on.
Open Contacts works on a working directory which contains your data files and templates. After installing the program, you may see that the installer created a shortcut called "New Open Contacts Book" on the desktop for all users. Open Contacts conforms to Windows security models, and after installation, users can use the program in LUA mode (as Windows normal users).
Remarks
If you run "setup.exe" for updating existing program, please note that the setup program has no knowledge of working directories that you created after last installation. If the updated version introduces updated templates, you may need to manually update the Templates directory of your working directories with the Templates directory under ProgramDirectory\Dataset\Templates.
Go to [Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs], select Open Contacts respectively, and click the Remove button. The program will then be removed.
Please note, the shortcuts created for working directories won't be uninstalled as they are not created by the installer. In addition, working directories of address books won't be removed, and you may need to manually delete them.
