Supported database platform
...
Installation of palCentre is intended to be simple and safe. The built in database configuration wizard can create and configure the SQL database and logins for you with a bare minimum of customisable data entry. Once the database configuration wizard has been run once, the client configuration wizard can be run to connect a client machine to the palCentre database. Alternatively, the configuration wizards create a configuration file which can be deployed to client machines, eliminating the need for running the client configuration wizard.
Pre-requisites
palCentre uses v2.6.0.0 and later use the .NET Extended Framework v4. Past testing indicates that most Windows XP and 7 machines do not have this framework pre-installed.For reporting, palCentre uses the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime. Crystal Reports requires that the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 32-bit Runtime and the ATL Security Update for Visual C++ 2005 have been installed.6. Windows 10 includes this by default, but older versions of Windows may need to have it manually installed.
If using SQL Compact, the SQLCE framework will need to be installed or palCentre will not be able to connect to the database.
If preferred, prerequisites should be able to be deployed automatically as there are no configuration steps required by them. Some of the prerequisites may already be installed on the client machine and if so, the installer will inform you of this and you can move on to the next step. Depending on which prerequisites are required, and the speed of the client machine this procedure should take between approximately 5 and 15 minutes per client machine.
Note that palCentre is a 32 bit application, as are all pre-requisites. This decision was made to allow support for older Windows XP machines. palCentre and its dependencies have been specifically tested on Windows XP (32 and 64 bit), Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), Windows 8 (64 bit), and Windows 10 (64 bit).
