INSTALL THE SOFTWARE
1
Insert the installation disk into your computer. The CD should
automatically run the MobileAsset installer. If the installer does not run,
you can manually start it by navigating to the CD on your computer and
selecting setup.exe.
The following question appears:
Beginning with MobileAsset v7, the mobile device sychronization method
has changed to an “on demand” method. The new sync method allows
you to sync automatically or manually over a wireless connection (or
when the mobile device is physically attached to the computer, if you do
not have wireless capability). This eliminates the needs to “process” data
from the mobile device.
Click Yes on this screen if you are upgrading from a previous version
and all of your devices have been synced and you are ready to install
MobileAsset. Also click Yes on this screen if this is a new installation.

that the install location must be two levels deep. For example, the path
D:\Wasp Technologies\MobileAsset will work for the installation while
the path D:\MobileAsset will cause the install to fail. Accept the default
location (recommended) by clicking the Next button.

will be backing up, restoring or maintaining the database from this
machine.
If you are installing the Enterprise version, this Select Installation Type
screen will also display the choice to install Microsoft SQL Server 2008
R2 Express with WaspDBExpress Instance.

edition of SQL Server 2005/2008/2012 already installed and intend to
