Install Estimate Standalone Client

The Estimate Standalone Client installation is installed when the primary purpose of the user is to work with the Estimate client application, including web-based applications. A Standalone Client installation includes the installation of a database engine (SQL Server 2014 Express Edition) which allows the client to work in both a disconnected mode (not connected to a network) or connected mode.

When installing the standalone client application, security permissions for the INEIGHT ESTIMATE folder in the installation path C:\Program Files\InEight\InEight Estimate are automatically set to grant full control to all authenticated users.

Use the following step-by-step at each client workstation where the Estimate Standalone Client will be installed.
