Providing rights to the installation folder

Go to C:\Program Files (x86) and locate the Shireburn folder.
-
Right-click on the folder and select Properties.
-
Open the Security tab and click on Edit.
-
Locate Users in the list of group and user names. Then, in the Permission box, set Modify as Allow.
-
Now you can launch SIMS, which should be located on your desktop.
-
When opened, SIMS will notify you for an update. From this step onward, select Yes, and the login screen should appear.
With this you should have SIMS installed. If you run into any issues through these steps, please contact the Shireburn Technical Team.
