It is always recommended to read through all instructions first, and than perform the actual steps
| 1. | Confirm that each of the following requirements prior to installation and use have been met. |
| a. | Compatible QuickBooks program installed and operational on the local hard drive of your computer - with the latest QuickBooks service patches applied. |
| • | U.S. QuickBooks 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 |
| • | Canadian editions QuickBooks Pro 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 |
| • | UK editions of QuickBooks Pro and Accountant Editions 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 |
| • | Australian QuickBooks 2008/2009, 2009/2010 (although have not tested 2010/2011, no issues are expected) |
| b. | Latest QuickBooks service patches applied to your QuickBooks |
| c. | You have confirmed access to your QuickBooks company data file - the QuickBooks company data file can be located either on the local hard drive too, or it can be located on another networked computer. |
| d. | The QuickBooks component QBFC7.0 is installed (download the QBFC7_installer.exe from http://www.ayanova.com/download.htm under AyaNova Related Downloads) |
| e. | Your AyaNova database is licensed for QBI |
| f. | If running a 64bit computer, make sure using AyaNova 6.6 or higher - otherwise you will encounter compatibility errors. |
| g. | Do NOT install QBI on a 64bit server where you wish to also run the network Generator. Doing so will result in loading errors for the network Generator. |
| 2. | Install AyaNova and QBI via the AyaNova installation file. |
| a. | Run the AyaNova installation file AyaNovaSetup.exe, and select QBI where indicated to install to your local hard drive |
| • | Refer to the AyaNova installation steps in the AyaNova Help file for installing AyaNova either for single stand-alone use or for networked use if you require additional assistance. |
| • | Do note that if you have already installed AyaNova, just run your AyaNovaSetup.exe file again selecting the same installation, and select to install QBI |
| • | Make sure you have AyaNova closed if installing again |
| • | When asked if you want to overwrite the config.txt, also select No. |
| • | NOTE: if you get a message such as below about replacing a file, this is occurring because you have something running. Click Abort, and then check to make sure you do NOT have the AyaNova program running, nor any of the import/export utilities, and check Services to make sure that the AyaNova Generator is shut off while installing, and IIS to shut down the Default Web Site and AyaNovaDP (the data portal) if installed. Then run the installation again. |
| b. | The QBI program file will be installed to C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova\plugins\QBI |
| 3. | QBI uses the same configuration file as the AyaNova program so no further program installation steps are needed |
| 4. | Remember, you must start the QuickBooks program and have your QuickBooks company data file open before running QBI |
| 5. | Run QBI from within the AyaNova program from the main menu Plug-Ins option |
| a. | from the main menu |
| b. | Note that AyaNova QBI from the client's grid menu or from the Parts grid menu is for specific QBI functions relating only to importing and linking clients and parts. It does not start the main QBI program. |
| • | from the client's grid menu |
| • | from the part's grid menu |
