DCS Software Upgrade 7.3.0 build 101

 

The system upgrade will take only a few minutes to complete, and must be done on every computer running DCS software.   The first workstation takes the majority of time to install.  Once the First workstation install is complete, you may begin working on that computer.   

 

Important:  **Close ALL open programs on ALL computers currently running DCS software prior to upgrade/install** If you are using DDX Client or POS Card Server, please close both programs if possible before starting the install.

 

 

 

 

Open any DCS application and type in your password as usual.

 

 

Key-in your password as usual, then click OK.  When the upload is available to your store, the following window appears.

 

 

Click Upgrade Now to continue.  There are also links to the online release notes as well as upgrade instructions (which you are currently reading).

 

 

 

Check that all DCS applications have been closed on all computers.  This includes DDX client and POS Card server.  Click Yes to continue.

 

 

 

 

Once all DCS applications are closed, click OK to continue.

 

 

 

It will take a few minutes as the Point of Sale System prepares the InstallShield Wizard.  Please wait.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click Next to continue.

 

 

 

Read the software license agreement.  If you agree to the terms, click I accept the terms in the license agreement.  Then click Next.

 

 

 

 

The InstallShield Wizard now checks to make sure all DCS applications are closed.  If it finds any still open, the message box above appears on the screen.  Follow its instructions by exiting the named application (otherwise, clicking OK will close it automatically).

 

 

 

It will take a few minutes for Point of Sale to install.  Click Next once the button is enabled.

 

 

 

On the first computer, additional scripts will run after clicking the Finish button, as described below.  This is why (as mentioned above) the first computer takes slightly longer than the others.  After the first computer, clicking Finish completes the upgrade.

 

A message box may prompt you to reboot your computer for the changes to take affect.  If this appears, it is a good idea to click YES, permitting the reboot.

 

 

 

On the first computer, there are several scripts that may take several minutes to run.  Please be patient as screens like the one above run on your screen.  Once complete, the following message appears.

 

 

Click OK.  You have successfully completed the first workstation.

Repeat the above steps for the remaining workstations.
