Sharing the Host directory for Multi Installs Note: File Sharing will need to be enabled in Windows before Share functionality will work. Example given for Windows 7, older versions may be slightly different. To begin, open your Windows Start menu and navigate to “Computer”.

24

Next, navigate to the installation drive, this should be Drive “C:” in almost all cases.

28

Once open, look to the menu bar at the top of the screen and select “Tools” and then “Map Network Drive” as highlighted below.

Next, select the desired Drive letter as shown below. Typically this will be the “M:” Drive.

29

Next, select “Browse” as highlighted below.

30

You will then navigate to the Host machine and select the Mitchell1 (or SnapOn) installation directory.

After selecting the installation directory, ensure “reconnect at logon” is checked and then select “Finish”

33

At the top, select “Map Network Drive”

Next, ensure the “Reconnect at Logon” box is checked, then select your desired drive letter, typically this will be “M:” Then click on “Browse…”

34

Next, select the Installation directory (either Mitchell1 or SnapOn) from the Host machine.

After selecting the installation directory from the Host machine, click “Finish”.

35

Once complete, a window will open to the mapped directory. If UAC has already been turned off, you may begin installation of the workstation immediately.

36

Turning off Controls (UAC) To begin, open your Windows Start Menu and select “Control ”.

Then select “ s and Family Safety”, if set to Category view. Otherwise look for an icon that simply says “ s”.

37

Once s and Family Safety is open select “ s” again.

Select “Change Control Settings”.

38

If you are running Windows 7 the following screen will appear. Drag the scrollbar all the way down to the bottom to where it says “Never Notify” and then select “OK”. If you are running Windows Vista you will simply uncheck the box labelled “Use Control (UAC) to help protect your computer” (no screenshot provided) and select “OK”. In either case, please reboot the machine before continuing the installation.

39

Restoring a 5.9 Database To begin, open your backup file. These are labelled as per the day of the week, starting with Sunday as “D1”, Monday as “D2”, etc. Our example will use a Friday backup, “D6”. If using the standard Windows method to open compressed folders, it should appear as below. Right click on the backup file (in this case “D6.zip”) elect “Extract all…” as below.

40

Next, select a location to unzip the files to. The default directory will suffice in in most instances (usually a subfolder of the backup directory), noted here as “C:\Backup\d6”. Ensure the checkmark on “Show extracted files when complete” is checked. Then click on “Extract”.

41

Next, the extract folder should automatically open. You will want to select the database file and the setup information file. In this example, for a ManagerPlus installation, the Database file is SMCORE32.MDB (for a ShopKey installation this will be SKCORE32.MDB) and the setup information file is “Series20.inf”. The setup information file will appear instead as “Series10.inf” if you are running Manager, or “SKSM10.inf” if your program is ShopKey Service Writer, or as “SKSM20.inf” if it is ShopKey Shop Management. Select both relevant files, then right click and select “Copy”.

42

Next, navigate to the installation directory MDB folder. The default directory for each type of install is as below Manager: “C:\Mitchell1\Manager\Series1\MDB” ManagerPlus: “C:\Mitchell1\Manager\Series2\MDB” Service Writer: “C:\SnapOn\SKSM1\MDB” Shop Management: “C:\SnapOn\SKSM2\MDB” Once you have navigated to the MDB folder, paste the files into the directory. You will then get a warning that a file with the same name already exists in the location. Select “Copy and Replace” for both files.

43

Next, arrange icons by “Type” as below and delete the “lastused.dat” and “statuslk.dat” files.

44

Next, open your Manager program. At the launch screen select “Setup” at the top on the left hand side. Select “Special Maintenance” at the bottom, and the click on “Reset Last Used Pointers”.

You will then get the following two messages, simply hit “OK” on both, and then the restore procedure will be finished.

45

Selecting the Reference Source

To toggle the Reference source between the DVD based locally installed Repair and Estimator guide and the online version, ensure you are at the launch screen and select “Setup” at the top on the left hand side. Select “Special Maintenance” at the bottom, and the click on “Select Ref Source”.

By Default this is selected to “Local”. If you are using the online version, change it to “Web”

46

Under the rare circumstance you have a Mitchell1 branded Manager program and a SnapOn branded ShopKey5.com Repair and Estimator guide subscription, or vice versa, select “ Alternate Web Address”.

47
