Installing Sports BUSINESS MANAGER using the HY-TEK CD

You install Sports BUSINESS MANAGER just as you would any Windows product using Windows Installer. From your Windows desktop, click on Start and then Run and key in the CD drive letter followed by :Setup. For example if your CD is Disk Drive D, enter D:Setup.

NOTE: If you have the Windows AutoRun turned on, Windows will automatically read the CD and begin the installation process and you will not have to type in D:Setup.  

The HY-TEK Sports BUSINESS MANAGER Installation software will guide you through the installation process. When asked for a directory/folder name to use, HY-TEK recommends that you use the default installation folder/directory name of "Hy-Sport\SportsBM".

After the Installation process is complete, you may be asked to restart Windows in order to register some Windows System files. DO NOT remove the CD. Now click OK to restart Windows.

Read the License File From the CD

After Windows has completed its restart, re-insert the CD (if you have removed it) and cancel at the first opportunity if it starts to install again. Click on the Sports BUSINESS MANAGER icon on your Windows desktop. The first thing that Sports BUSINESS MANAGER will do the very first time it is started is to read the License file from the CD. Once this is completed, the Main Menu will be displayed. Open an initial database by clicking File / Open / New, type in a database name and click Open. You may remove the CD and you will not need it again unless you need to re-install for some reason.

How to Re-Install Sports BUSINESS MANAGER

If you receive a new CD from HY-TEK or wish to re-install Sports BUSINESS MANAGER from your original CD, you would proceed just as if you were installing it for the first time. From your Windows desktop, click on Start and then Run and key in the CD drive letter followed by :Setup. For example, if your CD is Disk Drive D, enter D:Setup. Windows Installer will check to see if Sports BUSINESS MANAGER is already installed on your computer. If it is, the following screen will be displayed.

HY-TEK recommends you accept the defaults on this screen as well as the next Custom Setup screen to re-install SportsBM from your CD.

How to Setup a Desktop Icon or Shortcut

When you install Sports BUSINESS MANAGER, the installation process automatically sets up a SportsBM icon on your desktop as a shortcut. But if the installation process fails to set up an icon due to various Windows settings, you may want to set up a desktop icon shortcut yourself. To set up a SportsBM icon on your desktop, start Windows Explorer, pick the installation directory (the default is c:\Hy-Sport\SportsBM), find the SportsBM.exe file and right mouse click on it and choose Send To and Desktop (Create Shortcut) as shown below. Then you can right mouse click on the desktop icon just created and choose Rename to name the shortcut anything you wish.
