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.
