Installation

Installation of the E-Prime software requires administrative rights. If you do not have administrative rights, you will not be able to install E-Prime. Contact your System Administrator if you are unsure of your administrative privileges.

 

For more information on the different installation options, please view GETTING STARTED: Installation Options [22671]

 
NOTE: The current version of E-Prime 3.0 will uninstall any previous versions of 3.0 prior to installing the latest version. 

1. Close all Windows applications.
2. Connect the E-Prime installation media to your computer or download the E-Prime installer from the Support site.
3. Run Setup.exe to begin the installation.*
4. Click the type of installation desired and begin the installation (i.e., Full Suite or Subject Station).
5. Read the End User License Agreement in full and accept the terms of use.
6. Enter or verify your User Name, Institution, and serial number.
7. Select the type of installation to run and follow the instructions on the screen. The complete installation is recommended. This places E-Prime in the ...Program Files(x86)\Pst\ E-Prime…folder if running the 64 bit editions of the operating system and Program Files\PST\E-Prime if running the 32-bit editions of the operating system. Select the Custom Installation option if you need to change the location of the installation folder.
8. Click Install to begin the installation.
9. Finish the installation and verify the InstallShield Wizard Completed dialog box appears. At this point, the installation is complete. However, prior to using E-Prime, you must complete the Registration and Validation process (See article 39159 (direct link coming soon)).

* Prerequisite system components may be installed at this point, which may require a system restart. After restarting your computer, reconnect the installation media to restart the E-Prime installation.

 

To perform the Registration and Validation process after installation, confirm that the “Launch E-Studio” box is checked. To perform the Registration and Validation step later, uncheck the “Launch E-Studio” check box and click Finish.
