Setup

The powerGate setup is delivered as an executable and accepts the standard windows installer arguments documented here.
To accept the products EULA when starting the setup in silent mode pass the ACCEPT_EULA=1 argument.

Install Locations

powerGate is installed in the following locations on your system:

  • The commandlets will be installed to C:\Program Files\coolOrange\Modules\powerGate

Following shared libraries are installed in GAC:

  • powerGate.Erp.Client.dll

  • coolOrange.Logging.dll

Following shortcuts are added in the start menu:

  • powerGate Console - Opens the powershell Console and loads the powerGate module

  • powerGate Information - Opens the About dialog with product related information

  • powerGate License Information - Opens the License Information dialog to activate the product

  • powerGate Logs - Opens the log file location

Updates

To install a newer version of powerGate just execute the setup file of the new version. This will automatically update the files in the existing installation.

Note

When upgrading from versions earlierer than 17.0 (e.g. powerGate 2014, 2015, 2015R2 or 2016) we recommend uninstalling the old powerGate version before upgrading.

Additionally for this specific version upgrade: For having the same column view in the BOM Window, you have to move the previous xml files from %ProgramData%\coolorange\powerGate to %LocalAppData%\coolorange\powerGate. We recommend to delete these files after saving (moving) them to somewhere, because the old path is not used by powerGate anymore.

Uninstall

In case you want to remove powerGate from your computer you can:

  • Execute the setup file again. This will give you the option to repair or remove powerGate. Click on “Remove” to uninstall the program.

  • Go to “Control Panel - Programs and Features”, find “coolOrange powerGate” and run “Uninstall”.
