## Runtime Requirements

Access permissions

You do not need administrator rights to your PC to run the application once it is installed, but you must have full access (read/write/execute permission) to the installation folder, which by default is C:\HWN2.

If you install HelicsWin.Net in a different folder, you will need full access to that folder.

Microsoft Access

Although the application database HelicsWinNet.mdb is in Microsoft Access format, you do not need Microsoft Access installed on your computer to run HelicsWin.Net.

You can open the database files in Microsoft Access, but you could also use other compatible software such as Microsoft Excel.

.NET

To check whether .NET 3.5 SP1 is installed on your PC

In Windows 7, do the following:

1. Click Start > Control panel

The control panel opens.

2. Click Programs.

3. Click Programs and Features and wait until the installed programs list is populated.

4. Scroll down the list to the Microsoft entries.

If Microsoft .NET Framework is in the list, it is installed. If the version is 3.5 SP1 or higher, you have the correct version, and you can install HelicsWin.Net.

If the correct version of .NET is not installed, the included setup.exe file installs it for you, although you must have administration rights on your computer (see below).

Alternatively, to install .NET Framework 3.5 SP manually, go to this link and follow the on-screen instructions:

In Windows XP, do the following:

1. Click Start > Settings > Control panel

The control panel opens.

2. Click Add or remove programs and wait until the installed programs list is populated.

3. See step 4 above.
