Installing AVR Classic 4.0 will also automatically install Release 5.0 of Acceler8DB.
Note that the installation procedures are the same regardless of which operating system you use, except for the note below:
Installing on Windows NT 4.0 and above, or Windows 2000:
When installing AVR on
Windows NT 4.0 and above or Windows 2000, you should be signed on with Administrative Privileges to start the
Acceler8DB NT Service. If you are not
signed on with Administrative Privileges, a Warning will display – stating that
you need to have Administrative privileges to start the Acceler8DB NT Service.
Therefore, you may want to check with your Network Administrator prior to installing to ensure you have Administrative privileges. Note that even if you do not, you can still install AVR, you just cannot start the Acceler8DB Service until you do.
