Chapter 64 Install

  Already Installed

Windows Installer will tell you if you already have a version of Big Business installed.

This is coded so it only applies to the same product in the same major version so you can install only one copy of each program. This avoids conflicts among program files.

If you need two copies of Big Business, such as to run two companies, email support@bigbusiness.com for setup help.


  Versions Different

Big Business Client will tell you it is a different version than your Big Business Server.

Check with your system administrator to find out the version of Big Business you use. Get the same major version, such as Big Business Client 14 for Big Business Server 14.

See the bottom of the page for earlier versions or email support@bigbusiness.com to find out what version your company might use and if it is still available for download.


  XPS Document Writer

Big Business uses XPS Document Writer to show you a Preview when printing.

To enable XPS Document Writer in Windows, go to Control Panels, to Programs. Choose, Turn Windows Features On and Off, and turn on XPS Document Writer.

Restart after enabling XPS Document Writer and in Advanced Print Options, set in My Prefs, choose Preview for Destination and Big Business will print and show XPS.
