Right-click the ZIP file and select Extract All to unzip it.

Windows Client zip file

Open the unzipped folder and double-click the AV Client Installer.

Click Yes if you see the following Windows dialog.

Do you want to allow ...

Leave the Destination Folder as the default location -- C:\Program Files (x86)\AcctVantage ERP Client -- and then click Install.

Installation Folder

If you are upgrading your AV Client from a previous version, you may see a message asking if you want to overwrite the files. You are safe to proceed here.

If you want to preserve the old AV Client, you will need to rename the folder prior to running the new installer.

Installation Completed!

Click Close on the installer. Now you can launch the AV Client and connect to the AV Server.

Installation Completed

Launch the AV Client and connect to the AV Server

Navigate to the  C:\Program Files (x86)\AcctVantage ERP Client directory and find the AcctVantage ERP Client application. Double-click it to connect to the AV server.

Since this is the first time this client version is connecting to the AV server, you will see some "synchronizing" and "decompressing" progress bars. This is totally normal and should only occur the first time you launch the client.
