Add or install Wintix 6 to a new workstation

NOTE: After installing Wintix, make sure to run an update. (See instructions at the end of this post.)

• Download the Wintix 6 setup by clicking the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wicedqnk43l6op/Wintix6Setup.exe?dl=0
• Run the Wintix6setup.exe

• This will create a folder on your local C drive called Wintix6
  • Inside that folder is a file called SQLRDD, which is an .ini file. That is the file you will need to edit by entering in your log-in credentials which will allow you to connect Wintix to your database.

  

  • If you double click on the file SQLRDD, it will open in Notepad.
  • The information in the file will look like this:
    • connString=MySQL=data4 (or data5).centerstageticketing.com;UID=yourusername;PWD=yourpassword;DTB=yourdatabasename
    • UID is user ID
    • PWD is password
    • DTB is database
  • You must enter the correct data in all areas:
    • MqSQL, UID, PSW, DTB
  • Do not add spaces or remove characters.
  • Here is an example of how my connection string (connstring) would look:

connString=MySQL=data5.centerstageticketing.com;UID=testuser3;PWD=LAQGJ8pM;DTB=testuserdatabase

• 
  • Once you’ve made the changes, close the file.
  • It will ask you if you want to save the changes.
  • Say yes.
• Double click on the Wintix6 icon on your desktop and connect to your Wintix database.

• To be sure you have the latest update (build) for Wintix, click on ‘Download update’ and follow the prompts. If you see a message DynaZip Unzip warning – a file already exists, do you want to overwrite it?, click Yes to all.
