How to install two business tiers on one machine

The installation of two business tiers on a single PC or server is not recommended as it can lead to confusion of which installation is in use and difficulty upgrading each business tier.

Note: This process has not been fully tested in 'real world' conditions. It will allow you to install the business tier twice on the same computer and allow you to have two different instances of CAREWare running at the same time.

1. Install CAREWare as normal for the first instance
2. Create a new business tier directory at C:\Program Files\CAREWare
   This can be called RW CAREWare Business Tier 2
3. Copy the entire contents of the Business Tier directory at C:\Program Files\CAREWare\RW CAREWare Business Tier to the new directory you just created.
4. Go to Start>Run and type 'CMD' (No ' ') and click 'OK'
5. Type sc create "RWCAREWareBusinessTier2" binpath= "C:\Program Files\CAREWare\RW CAREWare Business Tier 2\RWCAREWareBusinessTier.exe start=auto"
6. Install a second database for CAREWare using the RWCAREWareInstaller.exe
