Install the AREIS Viewer but do not choose to put the data files on the hard drive (uncheck the boxes
next to map files, real estate database, and aerial photography files).
2. Server Installation
Server Installation— Install AREIS Viewer to a drive that will be shared to the clients and choose to
place the data files on the hard drive. This is accomplished by checking the boxes next to the three
components shown in Figure 1. Once the installation is complete, share the drive to your client
machines. Make sure the data files appear as folders at the root (not under any sub-folders) of the
shared drive.
Running Over a Network
3. Network Drive Setup
Make sure that the drive in which AREIS was installed to on the server is now shared and that the
