Press Install. You should see this after it finishes. If you get an error, try again and make sure to use the Run as Administrator option (step #1) and that you entered the Server Address and Server Port correctly (Step #3).
After closing the Success message popup, you should then have the SoftripNet Apps icon on your desktop.
Usage
Open the app and you will see the old NET calendar (please continue to only use the NEXT calendar for task and memo management) with the menu to the other NET back-office applications in the upper-left corner.
You can close tabs by using your mouse's middle click on the tab you want to close.
Updates
To update the standalone application to get the latest version of all modules, run the installer again, making sure to update the settings.
Once it's installed, select the "Settings" menu to review and make
sure the installed settings were carried over. Sometimes the app will
wipe this info and you need to reenter it a few times before it actually
saves and the connection works.
