CIOview Products

CIOview Player Version 4.x

Installation Instructions

The CIOview Player is the foundation software for CIOview's ROInow! and TCOnow! products. Below are simple installation instructions. Once you have successfully installed and registered your CIOview Player software, a world of new ROInow! and TCOnow! content modules will be available to you!

Systems Requirements
  • Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4) or Windows XP (Service Pack 1)
  • Internet Explorer version 6.x or higher
  • A connection to the Internet

Step 1: Install the CIOview Player Software

1) Double click the "CIOview Player setup.exe" file that you downloaded to your computer. (If you do not have the file, you can download it by clicking here.)

2) Proceed through the installation screens, and click "Finish."

NOTE: The CIOview Player requires Microsoft's .NET Framework. If you do not already have it installed on your computer, it will automatically be added during the CIOview Player installation process. A Microsoft file called "dotnetfx.exe" will be downloaded from InstallShield Software Corp., CIOview's trusted partner. The Microsoft .NET Framework installation may take a few minutes, and may require you to reboot your computer during installation.


Step 2: Register the CIOview Player

1) Launch the CIOview Player from the "Start/Programs/CIOview Player/CIOview Player V4" menu.

2) The Registration field should automatically appear. If it does not, go to "Help - Register" and complete the registration forms. Click "Register."

3) Close the CIOview Player.


Step 3: Activate your CIOview Player License

1) Check your email for a message from CIOview. It will include your unique license for the CIOview Player. To license your software, you can either:

a) Click on the link in your email message to open a browser window to your CIOview Player directory. Drag and drop the license file into this area.
OR
b) Copy and paste your license file ("player.license.txt") into your "CIOview Player V4" directory.

2) Launch the CIOview Player from the "Start / Programs /CIOview Player/CIOview Player V4" menu.

3) Go to "Content / Browse for Additional Content Modules." Your valid and available TCOnow! and ROInow! licenses are listed here.

  • You may download any TCOnow! or ROInow! content modules for which you have a valid license by clicking the "Install" button.
  • You may purchase licenses for other products by clicking the "Buy Now" button to proceed to the CIOview online store.

4) Go to "File / New" to start your project.
