APPENDIX A
Installing Sage Accpac ERP CGA 5.6A
This appendix describes how to install and remove Sage Accpac ERP CGA 5.6A. Before
installation, make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements as published
by your regional CGA office.
The Sage Accpac ERP installation DVD also includes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express as
the database engine.
Notes:
 A system restart may be required part way through the process. If so, restart your computer before continuing.
 Some components may already be installed on your computer.
 The entire process may take up to two hours to complete.
 Once installed, Sage Accpac ERP and the CGA Data Loader utility must be run ”as Administrator” to work
properly with Windows User Account Control. To do this, right click the shortcut to the application and choose
Run as Administrator. (Note that this is not the same as being logged into your computer with an unrestricted
“Administrator” account.)
 Throughout the process the Windows User Account Control may ask you to Allow the application. You may do
so.
