Uninstalling the Old Version

First stop the Service using your Windows Service control manager. Now create a shortcut to the programme, right click on it, Properties and add the following switch to the Target line: /uninstall

e.g. "C:\Program Files\Navigator Systems\Eclipse\reconcile.exe" /uninstall

Double-click the shortcut to run the programme using the "uninstall" switch.


Installing / Uninstalling

Copy all the files in this zip to their own folder (for ease of finding them).

You need to be logged onto the server as an Administrator.
You need to have the BDE installed and the MultiCompany utility for Eclipse must be set to a valid database for the Administrator's log in.

To install the service you should run (double-click) the batch file, Install_Reconciler_Service.bat
To uninstall the service you should run (double-click) the batch file, Uninstall_Reconciler_Service.bat

Once the service is installed you will need to set it to Log On As the Administrator in the Windows Services Control panel.
