Installing forms for the first time

Laserform Desktop will ask you if you would like to install forms now. Select either Install forms using the Forms Library Online Verifier or Install forms from CD (or network location)

If you want to install from CD or network location, select that option and browse to the location of your CD drive.

If this is a standalone install, you will need to do this on each machine. If it is a server install you will only need to install the forms on one machine.

Standalone Install

1. When Laserform Desktop is launched for the first time, a dialog box will open, asking you to install forms. Select Yes.
2. Select the location of the forms to be installed. This will either be on a CD, or another location. Click OK.
3. All forms included will be automatically download to the appropriate directories and the forms will be available to use in the Forms Explorer.

Server Install

Installing forms on a Server installation differs in two distinct ways from a standalone installation:

• Forms cannot be installed directly via the ‘Server Installation’ option. Instead, the forms should be installed from a client PC after a Laserform Desktop Client installation.
• Forms only need to be installed from one PC, as all other Client PCs should be viewing the same source files and databases.

To install them:

1. When Laserform Desktop is launched for the first time, a dialog box will open, asking you to Install forms. Select Yes for the first PC only, for all subsequent PCs select No.
2. Select the location of the forms to be installed. This will either be on a CD, or another location. Click OK.
3. All forms included will be automatically download to the appropriate directories and the forms will be available to use in the Forms Explorer.
