Initialize PE

The PE components have been developed as extensions and can be installed as such.

The process starts with completing an installation of the set as obtained from the Download Microsoft Business Central On-Premises site. Once the installation is completed and you have access through a modern client to the CRONUS demo company follow these steps (you can copy and paste the code to ISE):

The next step assumes that you have downloaded and unzipped the STAEDEAN release package for PE. The PowerShell script below lists the necessary steps. You can copy and paste this script to PowerShell, update the correct path and version numbers and run the script, preferrably section by section:

  1. Run PowerShell as administrator
  2. Install the management modules
  3. Publish the apps to the database
  4. Sync the apps with the database
  5. Install the apps in the database

When complete continue the process in the modern client by importing the RapidStart package and sample Lifecycles and Workflows
