General

An Exact Financials Enterprise patch (named ExactFinancialsEnterprise-<version>.exe) should always be installed on the server. The installer will guide you through the various steps of the installation.

Default install of Exact Financials Enterprise results in:

1. the installation directory contains the following
   1. folders:
      • 7.01.##
      • cd
      • lib
      • log
      • temp
      • uninstall
      • webclient
   2. key files:
      • Exact Financials Enterprise.prowcapc
      • exact financials enterprise.wcd
      • exact.pro
      • param.pf
      • progress.ini
2. the virtual directory used by the WebClient:
   1. is named ef70
   2. has the installation directory as local path
3. the WebClient URL is composed as follows: http://<server>/<virtual directory>/webclient/bootstrap.htm.

Example:

• The Exact Financials Enterprise installation directory is: \\srv-007\c$\apps\exact\financials.
• In Internet Information Services (IIS), this directory is the local path of the virtual directory "ef70". To start the WebClient URL, follow the URL http://srv-007/ef70/webclient/bootstrap.htm. This results in "Exact Financials Enterprise.prowcapc" being served.
