Because of the shared database, this application and its data are completely stored on APPS, and no installation is needed. However, most users will want a shortcut off their Programs menu:
- Login the computer using the ITS account, which has rights as a local Windows Administrator-equivalent.
- Make sure you have drive W: mapped. (The usual MapNetworkDrives.bat script will do this.)
- On Windows XP, right-click the Start button and choose Explore All Users. (If you can't, choose Explore instead.)
On Windows 7, choose the Start logo, then right-click All Programs and choose Open. (This will be user-specific.) - A Windows Explorer window will open with the Start Menu folder selected. Open the Programs folder in this Start Menu folder.
- If it does not already exist, make a new folder here titled "PG Calc", and open it.
- From within the PG Calc folder, create a new shortcut with these properties:
- Location: enter or browse to W:\Windows\PGM6\pgmw32.exe
- For the name, enter PGM 6.4
- Test the shortcut by running it; the ITS account has rights, as a member of the PGMUsers_gs group.
Because it uses a Windows 3.1-style .HLP help file, on Windows 7, a Microsoft update will may have to be installed for the PGM help file to open. Get the Microsoft update here, for 32-bit Windows 7:

If this user needs to run PGM, send their username to Sande Nissen to be added to the PGMPGMUsers_AppUsers gs group.
