Updating Windows is an important and necessary
step to allow the SolarSoftWare installation for PC's to occur properly.
To accomplish this, you should upgrade Internet Explorer to version 4.0
(or later). You may opt to update Windows without upgrading Internet
Explorer, however, doing so will require you to download and install several
Microsoft software components individually.
Upgrading Internet Explorer will insure that your browser
has the most recent software updates required to access the latest developments
on the rapidly changing internet. More importantly, Microsoft includes
plug-ins, driver updates and internet security patches for the Windows
operating system as a part of the Internet Explorer upgrade process.
Beginning with the Internet Explorer 4.0 upgrade, Microsoft
began including the Task Scheduler update to the Windows operating system.
You should have this update installed before attempting to use SolarSoftWare
for Windows. Task scheduling will allow your PC to automatically
update the SSW software and SSWDB databases on a daily basis.
