•New Enterprise 7 Installation: New Enterprise 7 Installation

•Upgrading Enterprise 7: Enterprise 7 to 7 Upgrade

EQuIS Live widgets files are installed, or updated, when Enterprise 7 is installed or updated.

To install or upgrade EQuIS Live 7 Schema and reports:

a.Download the appropriate version of the EQuIS Live Schema (.zip).

b.Unblock and extract the downloaded .zip file.

2.Setup for Schema and reports requires the following files are copied to the EQuIS Professional folder, where EQuIS.exe is located (e.g., C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\EQuIS\):

b.Copy the Earthsoft.Live.dll, Earthsoft.Live.Reports.dll, and DotSpatial.Positioning.dll files from the EQuIS Enterprise bin folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\Enterprise7\bin\) to the EQuIS Professional folder, where EQuIS.exe is located (e.g., C:\Program Files\EarthSoft\EQuIS\).

3.In EQuIS Professional:

a.Update the database.

b.Publish or republish the EarthSoft.Live.Reports.dll using the Report Publisher and click 'Yes' when asked to store the report assembly in the database.
