Installing Impact cashless catering software

[dloudon96]

We’ve already got a few tills setup, but don’t have any support from CRB, we’ve got another till from a school that no longer needed theirs, how do I install the impact software on to the till, they’re all the same tills.

 

Thanks,

I think you can just copy the files from another machine

As @markwilfan says, everything should be in a folder on the local drive of the machine. Just copy the cashless catering folder to the new machines and create shortcuts as required.

I believe there will also be a copy on the server where the database is held in Program Files\CRBCunninghams\ImpactOffice folder.

Hi,

 

I’ve tried this, the tills are on Windows XP still, but one of our other tills (the one I’m trying to get working) is on Windows 7 Professional, tried copying the files from the XP, located on the C:\Impact folder to the new machine, installing the ID Manager, BIO Store etc, but didn’t seem to want to work. I’m going back in on Tuesday and going to capture the image from the other till and install it onto the till with Windows 7 on, and see if it works.

 

Don’t really want to pay for CRB support which is £500, for something they press and it work straight away.

 

Anymore help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Dan

You shouldnt need to pay for their support, it really is a case of just copying the folder and running the relevant EXEs from C:.

 

We have just upgraded the Kitchen Office PC to the latest version of LTSC and also the finance assistant PC that both have the impact folders and biostore installed on them and they both work as they should.

 

I guess as long as you have the correct permissions set on the shared impact folder on the server and the correct permissions on the local C: then you should be fine.
