The following instructions outline how to install Quickmap Aerial Photography. Quickmap must be installed first before attempting to install the aerial photography images.
Quickmap Aerials may be installed on a Stand-Alone PC, or a Network Server. The Stand-Alone PC setup is recommended for a single Quickmap Licence and the Network Server setup is recommended for multiple Quickmap licences. Where multiple Quickmap licences have been purchased, only one copy of the Aerials is required for the Network Server setup. Note however the photos will sometimes draw faster where the Stand-Alone PC setup is used.
Before you start, make sure you have sufficient room on your hard disk drive. Disk space required is 675Gb for North Island Aerials, 395Gb for South Island, or 1.03Tb for New Zealand.
Backup the Aerials
We recommend you manually copy the contents of the external USB hard drive to a location on your server or PC (e.g. C:\ProgramData\QAirPhoto).
If you choose to leave the aerials on the USB hard disk drive, we recommend you make a backup copy of this onto a backup device such as another USB hard disk drive.
Custom Software does not provide any warranty for the USB Hard Disk drive beyond the initial install. Custom Software sells the data only (ie Aerials), and not the disk drive.
If you have an older version of Quickmap Aerials already installed, it is recommended you rename, or archive and delete the old Quickmap Air Photo folder before starting.
Version 8 Install
Run V8_ExpansionSetup.exe on your PC/Server, (or from the USB drive if you chose to leave the photos on the USB drive).
If you wish to setup multiple Quickmap PC’s to access Quickmap off a central server, the V8_ExpansionSetup.exe must be run on all PC that requires aerials. Note that the install simply writes the location of the photos into the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickMap\Image\DataDir. If you have a lot of PC’s, it may be more convenient for you to create a .reg file that is loaded when the user logs in. Contact us on 0800 145554 if you would like more details on how to do this.
If you are running Quickmap off a terminal server, V8_ExpansionSetup.exe only needs to be run once by one user, and all other users will automatically see the Aerials after the install.
Version 7 Install
Run V7_old_ExpansionSetup.exe on your PC/Server, (or from the USB drive if you chose to leave the photos on the USB drive).
After running V7_old_ExpansionSetup.exe follow the prompts to complete the install.
If you wish to setup multiple Quickmap PC’s to access Quickmap off a central server, the V7_old_ExpansionSetup.exe must be run on all PC that requires aerials.
