This guide is designed to assist you with converting a Medical Director / Pracsoft Workstation computer to a Clinical / Pracsoft Server or Mobile computer.
If you receive any error messages during the installation routine, contact MedicalDirector Customer Service immediately for assistance. It is recommended that you do not attempt to resolve any issues without assistance from MedicalDirector Customer Service.
Please contact your System Administrator if you need assistance with the following:
o Ensure you have the full Clinical / Pracsoft Installation disc release that matches the version of Clinical / Pracsoft you currently have installed. You will need this disc when you eventually reinstall MedicalDirector Clinical and/or Pracsoft. If you are unsure as to which version of MedicalDirector Clinical / Pracsoft you have installed, run either program and locate the version number, which appears at the top-left of the application window.
o Ensure you have logged into Windows with local Administrative privileges.
o If you participate in MedicalDirector GPRN you will need the MedicalDirector GPRN Installer.
1. Ensure that neither Clinical nor Pracsoft is running on this computer.
2. Insert the current Clinical / Pracsoft Installation disc. The MedicalDirector Installer application should start immediately. If it does not, browse the disc, and locate and run Setup.exe. When the installation wizard commences, run through the initial set of prompts until you are presented with the Computer Role screen.
o Click Enable Advanced Options and then click Uninstall Role.
o Click Yes then the OK button when you are ready to proceed. You will be presented with a summary of the components / applications to be uninstalled. Click the Begin button to commence. The uninstallation progress will be displayed.
o Click Finish once presented with the completion window.
3. Once complete you will be prompted to select a new role to install;
Server / Standalone:
o Choose Install New Instance.
o Select the MedicalDirector applications you wish to install and then click the Begin button.
o Install any secondary software required (e.g. MedicalDirector GPRN Extractor)
o Restore a backup, or set up Clinical / Pracsoft.
Operating Mobility Role:
