Installing Cougar Dtails
Cougar Dtails is installed as part of your software installation. At the end of the software installation, a message appears informing you that the main product installation is complete and Cougar Dtails installation will begin. You must confirm separately that you want to install each dashboard. Select the Install or Do Not Install button in each dashboard installation window that appears. Each installation is per user; therefore, if different user profiles exist on a computer, Cougar Dtails must be installed for each profile.
If you install your software to a network and only need to install Cougar Dtails on a client, or if you are installing Cougar Dtails for another user on the same computer, access the executable files from the CougarDtails folder located inside your product installation folder.
NOTE: If you have BDE Manager software installed on a computer that you plan to use with Cougar Dtails, you must remove that program or install Cougar Dtails on a different computer. At this time, the two programs are incompatible. If you have any questions about this, please contact your IT professional. |
The exact installation location might vary based on the operating system, but Cougar Dtails is installed into each user profile folder. This location cannot be changed. Once installed, Cougar Dtails can be accessed in the following ways:
