Update or Install Genesis R&D Foods

This article is for installs of Genesis R&D Foods 11.4 or Later for use with ANY previously installed version 

Important Notes:

• Occasionally the installer will need a restart to finish; please ensure your machine can be restarted if necessary.

• If installing for the first time on a computer see this guide.

• If installing with DataLink see this guide.

• The Genesis R&D client can be installed on a 32-bit operating system (please contact support for an alternative installer), however SQL Server requires a 64-bit OS.
• If the installation is on the same machine as the one hosting the database, the database should be automatically updated through this installation.  Should you need to update the database manually, or on another computer/server, refer to this guide as a starting point.

• We recommend that you right-click "Run As Administrator" to install properly.

Once you have the setup file downloaded, run the file and if prompted allow permission for our software to install.

Note: You may be met with a small black window. Don’t be alarmed this is normal and usually runs in the background. The installer should launch within a minute or two if not right away.
