Installing SIMS

To install SIMS, follow the below steps:

Providing rights to the installation folder

It is important not to open SIMS as you need to give rights to the installation folder for other users.
To provide rights to the installation folder to your users:
  1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86) and locate the Shireburn folder.
  2. Right-click on the folder and select Properties. 


  3. Open the Security tab and click on Edit.


  4. Locate Users in the list of group and user names. Then, in the Permission box, set Modify as Allow. 

     

  5. Now you can launch SIMS, which should be located on your desktop.
  6. 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.
