How to Install Celebrant Assist on a new computer

This guide is to help you when you already use Celebrant Assist, but want to re-install it on another computer and retain your existing ceremony information. This could be to transfer Celebrant Assist to a new or repaired computer, or to use Celebrant Assist on two computers. It is a simple process of installing the software from your original media and copying the data file from one computer to the other.

First and most important; Celebrant Assist cannot be installed by copying a disc image from one computer to another.  If you have tried to install Celebrant Assist in any other way than as described below, Uninstall it via Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.    If Celebrant Assist does not appear in the list of installed programs, go to C:\Program Files\ and delete the Celebrant Assist folder.

1. Open Explorer or a folder window and drill down to the Folder C:\Program Files\Celebrant Assist\db, as below.

2.      Copy the data file, CELA.data.1.02.Cad on to a memory stick or other
suitable removable device.

3.      Insert your Celebrant Assist CD into the CD drive on your new computer.  If it
does not automatically display the Installation Page in your browser,
open the CD as a folder and run instal.htm.

4.      If you are using a download image, double click on it to run it.

5.      Make sure the program Version is 2.5.  If not, contact Celebrant Assist.

6.      Install Celebrant Assist, CelaUpdate, and CelaFix on the new computer. 
NOTE: If the installation process asks you if this program is for your use only or anyone who uses this computer, select ANYONE.

7.      On your new computer, copy the file from your memory stick into
C:\Program Files\Celebrant Assist\db replacing the existing file.

8.      Run CelaUpdate from the Shortcut which the installation process has placed on your desktop .

9.      Remove the Shortcut to CelaUpdate from your desktop.  Do not remove
the Shortcut to CelaFix.

10.  Start Celebrant Assist and all your ceremonies and registration data will be there.

You can run Celebrant Assist on two computers, for example, a laptop for interviews and a PC for the office, by using this technique of transferring the data between the two computers, as required.
