Determining the target line and SQL String of the shortcut.

The LegalSuite shortcut is made up of the following components:

· The path to lsw.exe

· The SQL connection string

For the target line:

%ROOT%\Lsuite\LSW\lsw.exe “SQLlogin=%COMPUTERNAME%\%INSTANCENAME%,,%DBUSERNAME%,%DBPASSWORD%”

%ROOT% - This is the drive that LegalSuite is installed on.

%COMPUTERNAME% - This is the computer name of the machine where LegalSuite is installed.

%INSTANCENAME% - This is the instance name given to the Microsoft SQL Server during the installation of Microsoft SQL Server

[Default is SQLEXPRESS]

%DBUSERNAME% - This is the user name assigned to the LegalSuite database at the point that setupdb.exe was used to attach the LegalSuite database.

[Default is ls123]

%DBPASSWORD% - This is password assigned to the LegalSuite database at the point that setupdb.exe was used to attach the LegalSuite database.

[Default is password123]
