Installer creates desktop icons for the server and client applications. First launch server.

This is the first startup of server application thus you have to define an admin password. There is no default password in SIWENOID. Each installation can have its own admin password. Don't confuse this password of MySQL installation passwords!
Then server starts and makes some preparations (migrates treatment tables). The tray icon of server inform about this process. Finally server becomes “productive”.

Launch client using the desktop icon. Login as admin. The system, is ready to configure.

First the MySQL instance has to be deleted. My SQL is running as a Windows service.

• Stop “MySQL for Siwenoid” service in Windows control panel.
• Use command prompt (run: cmd). Type in: sc delete “MySQL for Siwenoid”
• Then delete the installation folder of server, client, and MySQL.
