Setup wizard.

Before running the setup wizard, make sure your have installed Java 7  and MySQL version 5.0 or MySQL version 5.6 (use the POS INSTALLER). Merchants using an embed version on windows will only be able to use the Windows, MySQL version 5.0 or 5.6. After you have confirmed that this has been installed then you are ready to run the Setup Wizard.

Important Tip about Passwords

Do not use the the default root user name and password for the MySQL admin user. Create a new MYSQL user with admin rights and use that to install the pos application. Be sure to keep your user name and password, as you will need to enter it when you install or reinstall the POS application on your PC.

IMPORTANT: If a MySQL re-install was required at anytime (such as root password not working), these are the necessary steps:

  • Uninstall the MySQL 5 from the control panel
  • Delete the MySQL folder under Program Files
  • Make sure the MySQL Service/Process are not running anymore (on Task Manager)
  • Restart the computer
  • Install the MySQL 5 and go through the MySQL configurations steps

 

Double-click your POS Setup icon and begin installation. 

Your InvenTrak™ POS Application Setup Wizard will begin your process. Click Next to move forward to the next window.

Type of Installation

User id and Password
