Payroll Installation Instructions

 

To install Payroll for the first time, follow the instructions on the Payroll CD label:

 

• Exit all open programs.
  

• Insert the Payroll CD in the drive. Be sure to use the most recent year version of Payroll to install, otherwise the most recent updates will not run.
  
  

• If the installation does not begin automatically, click on Start, choose My Computer (or it may just be called Computer)… This will open a list of your drives. You should see the CD drive here that contains the Payroll CD, it might even have the Payroll icon on it. Right click on it and select Open. It may ask if you want to run the Autorun, which you can do, or if it gives you a list of files, run the Autorun file you see here.
  
  

• Once you get the first options screen, choose “Install Payroll”.
  

• Click Next on the welcome screen.
  
  

• Click Yes to accept the license agreement.
  
  

• Select the installation type you would like (each is explained in a box to the right as you highlight them) and follow the on-screen directions.
  
  

• The first time you start Payroll, you will be prompted for a serial number. Type the word "Trial" if you are reviewing the software for purchase, or type in the serial number you were issued when you purchased Payroll.
