This page explains how to install IRIS GP Payroll.
Important note: This chapter describes the
steps required to install a completely new Payroll system. If your
intention is to ‘install’ the IRIS GP Payroll upgrade (e.g. in
April 2008) you should follow the instructions supplied with the
upgrade CD. IRIS GP Payroll is supplied on a CD. Initially a
four month trial version is installed.
Place the CD in the drive and:
- Click on the START button.
- Click on RUN
- Type D:InstallTrial <return> (if D is the letter of your
CD drive, otherwise substitute the correct drive letter)
- Follow the screen instructions until the installation is
complete.
Important note: If IRIS GP Payroll is to be
loaded onto a computer operating in a Windows NT, Windows 2000 or
Windows XP network the operator should log on as an administrator
before loading the CD. For further assistance please contact
your network administrator.
The four month trial version of the software can be converted to
the full package by loading an unlocking disc which can be
purchased from IRIS on 0844 815 5700.
Existing users can convert the four month system to an unrestricted
version by restoring a previous data back up disc.
IRIS GP Payroll will operate on any machine which has a Windows
operating system (Windows 2000/XP/Vista). Screen design requires at
least an SVGA (800 x 600) monitor. The appearance is improved by
higher screen resolution (e.g. 1024 x 768 or higher).
When IRIS GP Payroll is entered for the first time the operator
should enter pass in the password
screen and then select the ‘Setup/Options’ button to enter the Set
up screen.
Avoid loading the Payroll on the network server. It is often
suggested that loading onto the server gives better backup
protection. This is not the case. It is usually not possible to
extract the Payroll system from the general server backup if the
Payroll is to be reloaded. Every Payroll upgrade CD contains a full
installation system which, together with the normal floppy, CD or
memory stick backup of Payroll data, can be used to re-establish
the Payroll within a few minutes.
