<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The installation process is now more manual in some places and more automated in others. A new installer program is designed to reduce dependencies on DLLs and other requirements during install. A customer using a Mac and a shared hosting account should be able to follow the manual install procedures without a problem. PC Customers have a CreateNewStore.exe program to assist with some of the web.config editing.<o:p></o:p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Standard Install Instructions<o:p></o:p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">3) Create a folder on your computer where you will keep a copy of your store and the source code required to build the store. Don't worry if you don't want the source code we can copy just the web site later if needed.<o:p></o:p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p>

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">4) Gather your SQL Server login information. Either create a new blank database yourself or get the SQL Server, SQL Database name, SQL Username and SQL Password information from your web hosting company.<o:p></o:p>
