What do I need to do to run StockWizard on Windows Vista?
StockWizard does require access to some areas of your computer which are only accessible to administrators:
1) Run the installer as an administrator (when downloading the installer, save it on your computer, then right click the installer and choose to "Run as Administrator")

How do I apply a license to StockWizard™? / How do I convert a free version to full version?

Click the "Update License" button and find the file you have saved.
The program will now restart and your StockWizard™ will be converted to a full version according the purchased license.
Error "Number of licensed computers exceeded"
This error means that StockWizard has been used on more computers than it is licensed for.

What is the default server name setting?
The installer before and including version 2.1.5.2 was defaultly setting .\SQLEXPRESS (or [server]\SQLEXPRESS).
Any installations after the version 2.1.5.2 (2.1.6.0 and higher) are as default set to .\STOCKWIZARD (or [server]\STOCKWIZARD).
StockWizard on Vista says it cannot connect to the server
This is caused by the UAC - by default Windows Vista runs StockWizard in low permission mode and StockWizard can not access your registry to read the settings. To work around this you can right click on the StockWizard icon and choose to "Run as Administrator".
Alternatively, to set this as a default behaviour, you can right click the StockWizard icon, choose "Properties", select the "Compatibility" tab and tick the "Run this program as an administrator" tickbox. Then click OK. You could also set this for all users if you need to by clicking the "Show settings for all users" button on the same tab and ticking the same tickbox there.
When installing the Microsoft SQL server 2005 I get an error "An installation package for the product native client cannot be found"
This is caused by a corrupt installation of the native client. Please go to Control Panel, Add or remove programs and find Microsoft SQL server Native Client. Remove it and retry the installation
When updating I receive an error which goes like "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Clicknology\stockWizard\stockUpdate.exe' is denied"
This could happen on some Vista computers with an early version of StockWizard and is caused by insufficient permissions to run the update. Try running StockWizard as administrator and update then. Alternatively try running StockUpdate.exe from your StockWizard installation folder as administrator. Should both fail, we would recommend downloading the latest installer from our website and reinstall your copy of StockWizard.
