orginazation if you want. (optional).



It will then ask you to point to the SQL Server. You can just enter in your SQL server name if you know it, or you can browse to
see if the wizard can locate your servers for you. You can leave the "Connect using" Windows authentication, however, your SQL
Server may require you to enter the SA password, or a complete SQL Server Administrator user account information. then click
"Next" On the next screen if you are ready to go click "Install".

you to the next screen telling you the install is complete. Click "Finish" and you are done!


To test and see if your web server is working properly, open a web browser and open the LYNX Web Application page. By default this page on the web server would be http://localhost/lynxweb, or go to wherever you installed the app and load the page through a browser
to ensure that IIS is handling the application properly. Be patient it may take a few moments to compile this web application and then display the login screen. Note: the default username is admin, and the default password is admin. Login and you should be in the application.



Now click on the "Search" menu on the left. The main search form will pull up. Simply select/highlight a project and then
click on the "Create Project Hyperlink" button. Now you will see the link at the bottom of the form. Select/click on the link
at the bottom of the page and then click on the "Submit" button. If your LynxLink is installed and working correctly you should
now see the LynxLink Web form showing the images in the new form.
