Installing the Engineering Data Management Software (EDM)
EDM software only works in Windows environment. Currently, it supports
Windows 7 and above version (both 32-bit and 64-bit system). To install the
desktop software on your PC, insert the included CD-ROM into your CD drive. If
the Welcome Screen does not automatically open, you can run the
EDMTesingSetup.exe file on the root level of the CD.
Figure 224: Welcome Screen for EDM Installation CD.
EDM requires MSSQL server 2008 R2 version, server 2014, or later.
Microsoft SQL Database Server Installation
EDM requires an SQL database server. Currently, EDM software supports
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2014. If neither of the
SQL database managers is installed, the EDM installer will prompt the user to
install MSSQL before installing EDM. If MSSQL is already installed, the
installation of database software will be skipped, and the existing database
software will be used with EDM.
