Instructions for installing CoCASA

The purpose of these instructions is to guide you through the process of installing
CoCASA.

Reminder:  If you are using a shared database, all users must upgrade to the same 
version for the application to run correctly.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of CoCASA, please 
make sure that you have a backup of your database before installing.

You will be asked to upgrade the database the first time you run CoCASA after 
installing.

To install CoCASA simply run the file called Cocasa_Setup_x_x.exe.  
Please refer to the section below called “Steps for Installing CoCASA” for 
instructions on the installation process.

Steps for installing CoCASA

1. The first screen to display will be the progress screen for the 
Cocasa_Setup_x_x.exe self extracting file.
 
2.  Some computers may not have the framework needed to run CoCASA.  You may see 
the following screen asking to install a framework package. Click Accept to continue.

3. The next screen you will see is an extraction progress screen.  

4. Next, if the computer does not have the required version of Data Access Components, 
the following extraction screen will appear that will install those components. 
 
5.  Another End User License Agreement screen will appear.  Make sure that the “I 
accept all of the terms of the preceding license agreement” choice has been selected, 
then click Next to continue. 
  
6. The next screen to appear is a setup screen that appears while the disk space is 
being checked. 

7. Once disk space is verified, click Finish to install the Data Access Components.

8. If setup has completed successfully you will receive the following screen.  Click 
Close to continue with CoCASA setup. 

9. Next, you will get the CoCASA setup wizard. Click Next to continue.  

10. Next, you will get another CoCASA setup screen that allows you to choose a specific 
location for installation. If you do change the location, you should only change the 
path to a location that is still on that local machine.  It may not work properly if 
you try to install it on another machine on a network.  Then choose to install CoCASA for 
“Everyone”, and click the Next button. 
 
11. The next CoCASA setup screen is to confirm installation. Click the Next button to

Note: You may at any time during the installation process get a message stating 
that your computer needs to be shut down in order for the installation to continue. 
If so simply restart your computer and continue with the installation process.  
Also please note that even if you specify for the computer to restart itself, you may 
have to manually restart the computer and continue with the installation process by 
double clicking on CoCASA_Setup_x_x.exe again.
 
CoCASA will now appear in the programs list of your computer’s start menu, and an icon 
will appear on your desktop.
