    • When installed as a Windows application, the program can access all printers and network drives installed on your computer. However, the program must be run manually.
    • When installed as a Windows service, the program is running in the background at all times and does not need to be started manually. However, by default, the service does not have access to printers that have been installed on a print server and then shared.

    Start the installation by running the setup file ‘DPD Shipper_X_X.exe’.

    2.1   Install .NET Framework

    If the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.6.1 is not already installed on your computer, you will be prompted with the option to install .Net Framework 4.6.1  or newer.

    If you are not prompted to install the .NET Framework, please continue with one of the following points.

    2.2   Installation as a Windows application

    1. For installation as a Windows application, select ‘Application’ after starting the installation file and choose the database you want to use. After selecting the wanted database, click on ‘Install’.
