Return to AboveSoft Adaptive Estimator Manual

If you have a previous version of BIG or AboveSoft Utilities installed, uninstall it (this can be done in Control Panel; Add/Remove programs).

To install the software from the CD-ROM proceed as follows:

Insert the disk on the CD-ROM unit. This should automatically start SETUP.exe program, except that auto-run feature would be disabled. If it doesn't start automatically, browse the drive and manually execute SETUP.exe. Follow the on-line installation instructions.

To install the software from the files on the internet:

Windows 95/98/NT/Me: Download AboveSoft_Utilities.zip, decompress the file and run SETUP.exe. Follow the on-line installation instructions.

Windows 2000/XP or Windows Installer Loader installed: Download AboveSoft_Utilities.msi, double-click on it to start installation. Follow the on-line installation instructions.

Z* PROGRAMS for BIG Code Generator (optional):

After installing the software, upload ZGETWIDTH, ZGETBAPIDATA and ZBIGENDUSER to the SAP system from the installation directory (typically c:\Program Files\AboveSoft\). These programs are only necessary if you cannot log on to an SAP system (for example if you don't have the necessary RFC authorizations) or if you need to upload/download the z-table records when using error management (ZBIGENDUSER only). Generally you won't need to upload these files.

IMPORTANT: AboveSoft Utilities requires read/write privileges for AboveSoft.ini file located in Windows folder. Alternatively you can set up the windows environment variable "ABOVESOFT_INI=your_own_folder".
