Travelog installation instructions for 1.09 from the CD.

Please Note * To register the new version you must converse with the Travelog Helpdesk. If you will be installing outside Helpdesk hours, you may wish to pre register first, during Helpdesk hours. *
Please read all documentation before you begin.

These instructions refer to the J: drive and the C:\Tworld folder which are the typical locations for Travelog data and programs, respectively but your site may be configured differently. In most cases, Travelog will automatically detect your configuration. When you see a reference to the J: drive or the C:\Tworld folder in these instructions, you should substitute your site’s settings.

All documentation referred to in these instructions can be found in the Manual folder on your Travelog World installation CD ROM, and also (once the Copy Installation to Server step has been completed) in the Manual folder on your J: drive.

It is recommended that you pre-register Travelog World before you commence installation. This can be done by following Step 1 in First PC Installation below and clicking on the Pre-Register Travelog World button, then following the Registration Documentation (Registration.doc).To upgrade a site, follow through the “First PC Installation, Database Update and Registration” once only, then follow through the “Workstation Installation” on all other workstations licensed to use Travelog World.

Windows NT, 2000 & XP

If you are using any of these operating systems, please ensure that you are logged in with Administrator rights before you begin the installation.

Windows Terminal Services and Citrix Metaframe

If you are using WinNT/2000/XP with Terminal Services, or Citrix Metaframe, it is strongly recommended that you enter Install mode before you begin the installation. For more information about Install mode, you should consult your operating system documentation or contact the helpdesk for guidance
First PC Installation, Database Update and Registration

Before you begin, ensure all users are logged out of Travelog World, and that they remain logged out until they have each been upgraded.

Custom reports or documentation

If you have custom written reports or documentation produced from Travelog World, please ensure you have a copy of them (in J:\CUSTOM\TWORLD\SOURCE\REPORT) because they will be overwritten during the course of this installation. Instructions on re-installing these reports are at the end of the First PC installation instructions.

Step 1


Start Up: Insert the Travelog World CD into the drive. The Travelog World Installation program should start automatically.

If it does not, click Start, Run and type D:\Autorun (where D: is the drive letter of your CD-ROM) then click OK.

At the bottom left hand corner of the Travelog World Installation program, the Destination Directory (“Install To”) is displayed. Please note this for the next step.
