 Here's the File You Need 

This file is for a standalone PC installation. Loss Forecaster is not intended for a client/server or other network configuration.

LFInstall.exe  (approx. 15 MB)

 

Installation steps:

  1. Get the install file from our website.
    view the video clip

    Click on the file
    LFInstall.exe. If you are on a high-speed Internet connection, we recommend that you  choose to "Open" or "Run" the file directly from our web server. If you are on a slow connection or have problems with running directly, choose the "Save" option.

    If you choose the save option, we recommend that you save the file to your own PC, not to a network destination. Most users find it convenient to save to their desktop.

  2. Run the install.
    view the video clip
    If you saved the file on your PC, you will need to find it on your desktop or other folder and double-click it to start the installation. If you are running the file from our web server, the installation will start automatically.

    Enter password and verify the installation path.
    When prompted, enter the install password which you received from us in an email. Please review our email recommendations if you're not getting emails from us. 

    The installation directory will likely be c:\Loss Forecaster, but override as necessary to indicate where Loss Forecaster should be installed. You can override these defaults if necessary by clicking the "Browse" button and navigating to or specifying the desired folder. Note that both Loss Forecaster II (version 4.7.x) and the new Loss Forecaster version 5 can coexist, but LF version 5 should NOT be installed in the same folder where LF II is installed.

  3. When the install is complete, reboot if requested, then start Loss Forecaster.

    When the install is complete, you may be prompted to reboot. Although you can choose 'cancel' so that you don't have to reboot immediately, please do so before attempting to start Loss Forecaster.

    You can start Loss Forecaster by clicking the new icon on your desktop or by finding it in the Loss Forecaster group through Start/All Programs.

    See the What's New and/or Getting Started with Loss Forecaster pages for introductions to using this version of LF.

 FAQs 

Q. After installing Loss Forecaster, I get the message "Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions...Windows must restore the original versions of these files."

A. This message occurs due to the fact that Loss Forecaster is based on Microsoft Access and includes numerous Microsoft files. It is safe to cancel out of this message. -more-
