How To Setup PR-Tracker 6.0
Download prtrk600.zip and store it in a temporary directory.

Close all running programs.
Run setup.exe and follow the setup instructions.
Part of PR-Tracker setup includes configuring
PR-Tracker to act as a client or a server. One installation should
act as the server where the database is stored and all other
installations will act as clients which connect to the server.

Administrator to perform configuration.
Special Instructions for Windows
Vista and 2008
In
Windows Vista and 2008, even if you are logged into Windows as an
administrator, programs don't run with administrative privilege by
default. To a run program with administrative privilege you must
right-click on the EXE and select the option to Run As
Administrator. This is what you must do with prtracker.exe to
perform the configuration step the first time you run it.
Connecting PR-Tracker
After configuration, when you start PR-Tracker a
connect dialog is displayed. This dialog enables to user to choose
from one of three ways to connect to PR-Tracker. The option that you
chose depends on the
PR-Tracker
Installation Topology you deploy.
Upgrading from version 5.xx
Unlike previous upgrades, upgrading to PR-Tracker
6.0 will not convert your existing database in place. After you
install PR-Tracker do menu Tools | Import Database to import the
5.xx database. The import tool will only read the 5.xx database
while importing it to the location of the 6.0 database.
