This document summarizes the new features in the latest release of Salesware Version 4.1. The document is

intended for Salesware administrators and other personnel charged with reviewing the latest features available in

ongoing releases of Salesware from Siriusware®.

Executive summary

This release provides the following key, new enhancements and features:

• Appendix D provides an overview of the changes to the 4.1.01 release.

• For Windows 7 compliance, Salesware is now installed in two places: Program Files\Siriusware

and ProgramData\Siriusware. The CommonUpdate utility automatically partitions current

installations between these two directories. CommonUpdate will also create the ProgramData directory

on operating systems, like XP, where it doesn't already exist. Otherwise, the "fresh" installers do all of this

for you. This change to the directory structure helped Siriusware attain Windows 7 certification with regard

to the prohibition of writing transient data to the Program Files directory – favoring the

ProgramData directory instead. The reason is that regular, non-administrator users are not allowed to

write to the Program Files folder by default with User Account Control (UAC) enabled when using

Vista or Windows 7. Any writing to these folders should trigger a UAC window requiring an administrator

password to complete. We don’t want that to happen, so we must use the ProgramData folder for

transient data.

Note: ProgramData is by default a hidden directory. You will need to enable Show hidden files, folders and

drives in your Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel in order for the ProgramData folder to be

visually seen by Windows users. (This is not required, but may be more user friendly for those that want to access

this folder with any frequency.)

Note: With UAC activated in Windows 7, you may be unable to edit the xxxx_system.INI files, even when

logged on as a member of the built-in administrator group. You might get the message “Access is denied”. With

UAC turned off, you should be able to edit. Another alternative is to use the built-in Administrator account, which

is disabled in Windows, but which has full rights to the computer. The full power of this account is what caused so

many security issues for XP, which is why it’s disabled and normal administrators have fewer rights. This behavior

is as designed by Microsoft, to prevent changes to important files in the Program Files directory, which is

where the xxxx_system.INI files reside.

• This release drops support for SQL Server 2000. The boilerplate SQL Server update script now checks for

this and will halt with an informational message if you are still running SQL 2000. SiriusSQL is required to

set to use SQL Server compatibility level 90 or higher.

• On new installs, the SiriusFS folder is no longer used. Instead, a folder named Siriusware is installed

at the root of the C: drive, configurable, with all the subfolders (Updates, Data, etc.) located there.

With adequate security measures in place, you may continue to use the Program Files directory

(Program Files\Siriusware\SiriusFS) for your updates and data folders. You should

move to the new directory structure if you need to reinstall on a new server.
