Field Descriptions

Look in
Use to browse for the desired user folder.

Folder name
Enter a new path or new folder name. If you have other versions of LeasePak installed, NetSol recommends creating a new, version-specific folder (such as v61a) for this installation.

For local files, the default folder is usually one of the following

Windows 98 c:\my documents\Leasepak\v61a
Windows NT c:\winnt\profiles\all users\Leasepak\v61a
Windows 2000 c:\documents and settings\all users\Leasepak\v61a
Windows XP c:\documents and settings\all users\LeasePak\v61a

To use a folder on your network, select a network share previously mounted for the installing user (Administrator). The drive letter must be available to all users on the client computer. LeasePak will resolve the path specified and store local preference files in the selected folder. In this example, drive O: must be mapped to a unique location for each user on the client computer, and for each user the drive must contain the path O:\Leasepak\v61a. If this is not set up, exit the installer and complete the required configurations, then restart the installation. Within the Administrator's setup, the installer uses this network share to establish the registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Once the installation is complete, the share may be removed from the Administrator's setup.

The following is an example of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entry



The registry entry is located in the folder My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NetSol\Leasepak\(ver), where (ver) is the specific LeasePak installation.

An additional registry entry is located in My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NetSol\Leasepak



This contains items such as the toolbar preferences and others that are not stored in the user's leasepak.ini file.
