MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------
To operate the software, you will need the following MINIMUM hardware/software:

- IBM-compatible PC with Pentium, Athlon or compatible processor

- VGA-compatible display monitor

- Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista (NOTE:  Windows 7 and 64-bit are NOT supported.)

SETTING UP THE HAVEN SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS XP/Vista
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the steps for installing the HAVEN software
under Windows XP/Vista:

1.  	CMS site - Download SETUPHAVEN106.ZIP  
	QTSO site:  Download SETUPHAVEN106.exe

	Click on the Web page link to download the file to your computer.  
	This file is a compressed file which contains the complete software
	package.  It is recommended that the file be saved to a temporary directory on your 
	computer (e.g., C:\TEMP\).
	
2.	CMS site - Extract the compressed files from SETUPHAVEN106.ZIP.
	QTSO site - skip this step

	Use an unzipping utility such as PKUNZIP or WINZIP to extract the files to
	the temporary directory.


3.	Run the SETUPHAVEN106.EXE.  Please be sure that you have administrator-level privileges
	to your PC.


4.	Follow the installation program instructions.


5.	IMPORTANT!  Ensure that all users of the software have read/write privileges to the 
	application directory.

6.	Run the HAVEN software.

	When the setup is complete, it will create the "HAVEN Data Entry System" submenu
	under the Start/Programs menu.  From this submenu, click on the "HAVEN"
	menu item.  This action will start the HAVEN software program.

INSTALLING HAVEN ON A NETWORK
----------------------------------------------------

HAVEN has two network configuration possibilities.  Configuration 1 has the 
advantage that the HAVEN software is only installed to one location.  Configuration 2 offers the 
best multi-user performance, since the HHA.MDB is the only database accessed 
by multiple users.  

NOTE:  As of version 9.x, Configuration 1 is NOT recommended, as the Java-based HIPPS grouper 
used by HAVEN MUST reside on the C: drive of each user.

Configuration 1:  All HAVEN application files on the network

Here are the steps to follow in setting up this HAVEN configuration on a network:

1.  	Create or designate a network volume (storage space on a network drive) to 
	which all HAVEN users will have read-write access.

2.  	Establish a drive mapping for each user to this network volume (e.g., G:\, for the 
    	purposes of these instructions).  It could be a permanent drive mapping that 
	can be established using Windows Explorer.

3.  	For each client machine, install the software, specifying g:\haven for the directory 
	instead of the default c:\haven.

4.  	The administrator should then set up agency and employee information in HAVEN.  The 
    	administrator may want to add the patients as well.

5.  	HAVEN may now be used to create and enter assessment data.

Configuration 2:  HAVEN data entry databases on the network; all other files local

Here are the steps to follow in setting up this HAVEN configuration on a network:

1.  	Create or designate a network volume (storage space on a network drive) to which all 
    	HAVEN users will have read-write access.

2.  	Establish a drive mapping for each user to this network volume (e.g., G:\, for the 
    	purposes of these instructions).   It could be a permanent drive mapping that 
	can be established using Windows Explorer.

3.  	For each client machine, install the software to a local directory (e.g., C:\HAVEN).  
	After installation is complete, copy the HHA.MDB and EMP.MDB to the desired network 
	drive/path.  It may also be a good idea to copy the repair32.exe to the network 
	drive/path as well in case of a corrupt database. Then run HAVEN and click the
 	Administration |Preferences menu item.  Select the Location tab.  Enter the network 
	drive/path to the HHA.MDB on the resulting screen. Exit HAVEN, then run HAVEN again 
	to put the network path into effect.  Repeat this process for all client machines.

4.	IMPORTANT!  Ensure that users have read/write privileges to both the network directory and
	to the application directory!

5.  	The administrator should then set up agency and employee information in HAVEN.
	The administrator may want to add the patients as well.  

6.  	HAVEN may now be used to create and enter assessment data.

		
		
-----------------------------
LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME
-----------------------------
When the HAVEN program is launched, a login screen appears.  Type HAVEN for both the user ID 
and password, then click on the OK button.  IMPORTANT:  passwords are case-sensitive, so please 
enter the password in upper case!  Note that the user HAVEN has administrator rights;
therefore, it is then possible to set up agency, employee and patient information - 
necessary steps before entering assessments.

-----------------------------
UNINSTALLING HAVEN
-----------------------------
In order to uninstall HAVEN, use Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel.
The uninstall procedure will not remove the databases (the user must delete them 
manually, if desired).

Note that the uninstall does not delete the following types of files:

	.LDB files (which are automatically created when a database is opened)

	.ZIP files (if compression is enabled for HAVEN backups)


Therefore, if the above files exist, the uninstall procedure will not be able to delete
the installation directory (e.g., C:\HAVEN).  The remaining files can be deleted via Windows
Explorer, if desired.
