Installation and Set Up

Regardless of the version of WinSQL Professional you are using, you will always download and unzip (using WinZip™) the same executable file. These executable files are available in two different types of packaging, as described in the following table:

 

File Name

Description

WinSQL.zip

An installation program for WinSQL Professional. Extract the setup executable from the zipped file and follow instructions on the screen to install WinSQL Professional using this file.

This is the recommended installation method.

WinSQLRaw.zip

This is a zipped file that contains all necessary executable files and ODBC drivers. However, this file does not contain an installer. Files must be manually copied to the directory of your choice, and the icons for the program must be manually created.

WinSQLUpgrade.zip

This file is no longer available. Use WinSQL.zip when upgrading from an older version.
