---------------------------------------- 1) RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER IS NOT INSTALLED ON THE PC ----------------------------------------
To install the Palm Interface for RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER you set a checkbox during installation when running setuptimelogger.exe (that you downloaded from http://www.responsivesoftware.com/howtodownload.htm):
A) Open/start/run setuptimelogger.exe.
B) On the "Select Components" screen, check the checkbox for the "Responsive Time Logger Palm Interface".
C) After the installation has finished select:
START->Program Files->Responsive Time Logger->Install Time Logger to the Handheld
(Note that your Palm software must already be installed and you must be able to successfully perform Hotsyncs before this next step will work.)
D) This will "schedule" (using the Palm Install Tool) the TimeLog.prc (the program file for the file RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER PALM INTERFACE) to be Hotsynced to your Palm device the next time you perform a Hotsync. Thus, the next time you Hotsync, the software will be installed on your Palm (but not your corresponding data from your computer) and each successive Hotsync will transfer your data between your computer and the Palm device.
---------------------------------------- 2) RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER IS ALREADY INSTALLED ON THE PC ----------------------------------------
If you have already installed RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER look to see if the the option below using the "START" menu on your computer is present:
START->Programs ->Responsive Time Logger->Install Time Logger to the Handheld
Is the option above present on your computer? (go to: "NO====>" or "YES====>")
NO====>If it is NOT on your computer, you can re-run setuptimelogger.exe and check the box to install the "Responsive Time Logger Palm Interface" on the "Select Components" screen. (NOTE: You can either uncheck the option to install the "Responsive Time Logger", or if you leave it checked that is also OK because it will NOT overwrite any of your data, though you should install it to the same location (folder) where it it is currently installed - see: WHERE IS TIME LOGGER INSTALLED?.) After the installation is finished, follow the directions beginning with YES====> .
NOTE: If you don't know where your setuptimelogger.exe file is, or it has been awhile since you installed Responsive Time Logger you can download the latest version at:
http://www.responsivesoftware.com/howtodownload.htm
When you reinstall into the exact same folder (see: WHERE IS TIME LOGGER INSTALLED?), you should NOT need to re-enter your Registration Code that you got when you purchased the software. If it asks you to re-enter your Registration Code, that is a clue that you probably didn't re-install it to the same location and you should try again to re-install it to the correct location.
YES====> The "Install Time Logger to the Handheld" option is present.
(Note that your Palm software must already be installed and you must be able to successfully perform Hotsyncs before this next step will work.)
To continue the installation, click the option:
START->Program Files->Responsive Time Logger->Install Time Logger to the Handheld
This will "schedule" (using the Palm Install Tool) the TimeLog.prc (the program file for the file RESPONSIVE TIME LOGGER PALM INTERFACE) to be Hotsynced to your Palm device the next time you perform a Hotsync. Thus, the next time you Hotsync, the software will be installed on your Palm (but not your corresponding data from your computer) and each successive Hotsync will transfer your data between your computer and the Palm device.
NOTE: If you only HotSync once when installing the Time Logger on the Palm, on your initial use of Time Logger on the Palm you will use a default set of descriptors (Client Names, Project names, etc.). After the second HotSync, all of your data will be transferred.
IMPORTANT: You must run Time Logger's setup program (setuptimelogger.exe) on each computer that will be used for HotSyncing time records to and from the Palm, being sure to check the checkbox to install the "Responsive Time Logger Palm Interface" on the Select Components screen. This is necessary to set up the Conduit program that handles HotSyncing.
------------------------ WHERE IS TIME LOGGER INSTALLED? ------------------------
Time Logger is installed to a folder, whose location is defined or written as a "drive" (C:) and "path" (\Program Files\TimeLog) on your computer. The default location or folder is:
C:\Program Files\TimeLog
However, the exact location could have been changed during the installation process.
To determine where the Time Logger that you are --->currently running<--- [see NOTE: MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS] is installed select the menu option:
Advanced->Diagnostics
At the top of the window that opens, the 3rd line down (Main Directory) indicates the folder where Responsive Time Logger is currently installed. The example below indicates that Responsive Time Logger is installed in the "C:\Program Files\TimeLog" folder. [Note that the final \ character after "TimeLog" does not need to appear in the Destination Folder in the Installation program, or when you designate the Time Logger folder for other applications.]
