Using the InstallAware Installers

These installers should make the installation of DAT-MAIL, Postal Package Partner, Post Master or TagMaster simpler and easier. They are intended to expedite your installation by downloading and installing all required program prerequisites, making it unnecessary to download/install these separately.

Features include:

  • Automatic installation of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4.0
  • Automatic Installation of MSSQL Express (needed for IMB and other SQL functions) - Server/Standalone
  • Automatic Installation of Pervasive SQL workgroup (30-day trial) on a new installation.  Upgrade of PSQL version 10.0 to version 10.3
  • The Program Installation


Once prerequisites are installed the InstallAware installer automatically maintains the IMB database and simply installs DAT-MAIL in the normal way. Any upgrades to the prerequisites will be handled by the installer in the normal course of updating the program.

InstallAware Installers

  1. Install the prerequisites for DAT-MAIL, Postal Package Partner, Post Master or TagMaster as well as the program itself.
  2. For Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) users: The IA installers reconfigure the SQL database as necessary and keep it up to date with each DAT-MAIL or TagMaster update. 
  3. For Post Master you can use the 'opt out' choice ("Ask Me Later") if you are not using Intelligent Mail Barcodes.
  4. For Postal Package Partner you can use the 'opt out' choice ("Ask Me Later") to avoid having to install and maintain the SQL database.  NOTE: Eventually SQL will be necessary for Postal Package Partner.
