Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Installation

Copy CSDS onto Computer Without Internet Access
How to I copy CSDS onto a computer without internet access?

To copy CSDS2 onto a computer that does not have access to the internet:

  1. Install CSDS2 onto a computer that has access to the internet.
  2. Copy two folders from the internet computer to the non-internet computer.

    1. Copy the CSDS data folder (usually C:\SQDATA or C:\CsdsData) to the other computer.
    2. Copy the CSDS executable folder (it's in an obtuse location, or may be C:\CsdsExec).

    To find the location of the two above folders on the internet computer, run CSDS2 on that computer and from the main menu, select 'Help | About Csds2'. There are two buttons, one to "Open EXE Folder" and one to "Open Application Data Folder".

    Open EXE Folder and copy to a thumbdrive folder named "CsdsExec". Open Application Data Folder and copy to a thumbdrive folder named "CsdsData".

    Copy both of these folders to the non-internet computer.

    On the non-internet computer, open a Windows File Explorer, navigate to folder "CsdsExec" and double-click on "csds2.exe" (or 'csds2 executable').

    When prompted for the application data folder, navigate to "CsdsData".

    If you've got music files, you will also need to modify the pathnames of the files within the music database via:
    Go to "Music | Edit Music Database".
    Select "Tools | File Pathnames | Replace Folder Name"
