Installation

For local machine installation, the DirectRoute install files, and any subsequent update files, are generally downloaded by licensed users from the Trimble ClientCenter


In addition to DirectRoute, licensing, and access to additional Appian software modules (if purchased) will be included in the installation download. If the user system or network prevents the download and/or installation, a request should be made to provide an alternate installation method. Alternate methods may include mailing a copy of the installation (certified, registered mail) or onsite installation by an assigned Appian Implementation and Training Consultant. 


Each licensed customer (primary contact) will receive an email with specific instructions on how to access the download, installation instructions, and the product code/license number. 


It is important to note that the installation cannot be done remotely, and one must have administrative rights on the machine to perform the DirectRoute installation. 


The download file generally includes the DirectRoute program and component files, including: 

  • .NET 4.5
  • Crystal reports 
  • PC*MILER embedded Map/Mileage System
  • Address Cleanup File
  • Zip9 Data File
  • Help File
  • ResourcePro Module*
  • SchedulePro Module*
  • TerritoryPro Module*
  • Transportation Modeler Module*


For detailed installation instructions, see DirectRoute Installation.


*Additional Appian software modules, if licensed for use.
