** Special Thanks to Advanced Installer for giving me a license and making this release possible. **

  • Note: This install will require you to be an Admin on your own machine, to enable setting the System Environment Variable for the connection string.

If you do have an admin rights (which all developers should) then you must run DataTier.Net via Visual Studio.

Contents of a Read Me.txt - pasted below:

To run this DataTier.Net installer, you must have Admin rights on your own machine to be able to set the connection string environment variable.

If you do not have admin rights on your machine (which as a developer you should), but if for some reason you can't be then you must use Visual Studio
or you can create a System Environment variable named DataTierNetConnection, and paste in a connection string to the DataTier.Net.Database, full instructions
below.

Note: After your connection string is setup, you can change your shortcut from requiring admin rights by right clicking on it, and selecting properties.
On the comparability tab, Uncheck the box 'Run As Administrator'.

If you receive any combability notices, you can ignore them. I stopped the Windows Services 'Program Combability Assistance Service', but it is up to you
what you want to do on your own machine. You can ignore these messages. Working on a way to not show them.

Manual Setup Instructions:

  1. Create a database named DataTier.Net.Database
  2. Execute the sql script DataTier.Net.Database.Schema located in the install folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Data Juggler\DataTier.Net\SQL Scripts
  3. Create a connection string to the DataTier.Net.Database and copy to your clipboard
    Tip - Connection String Builder is now installed with DataTier.Net. Look on your desktop for a new shortcut.
  4. Create a System Environment Variable:
    A. Open Windows Search and type: "Edit System Environment Variables"
    B. In the search result, open Edit System Environment Variables, then click the button 'Environnment Variables'
    C. In the bottom section 'Server Variables', create a new variable named DataTierNetConnection
    D. For the value, Paste in the connection string created in step 3
    E. Hit OK

Restart DataTierNet, you should see 'Test Database Connection Passed'.
