Installation errors occur when something has gone wrong within the TimeClick installation. In most cases this is caused by an antivirus software. This error also occurs when TimeClick is being installed on a version of Windows that is older than Windows 7. Below are two sections, one for customers with a TimeClick database that may be upgrading, and the second is for new customers who are setting up TimeClick.
Customers with an existing TimeClick Database, Possibly Upgrading
If you are on a TimeClick workstation computer and not the TimeClick server computer then skip the instructions on backing up your TimeClick database.
