Capital Network Workstation Client Install


If you have Capital installed on a network, in order for the workstations to run you must also perform a network client install on each workstation.  This will prepare the station to run our programs.


The program winclient.exe contains only the components needed for a workstation to run the program from the server. It is not the entire program. If you do not have Capital installed on your server, please contact us at 517-324-9100 or email customerservice@capitalrating.com to get it.

To download Capital's network install program:

  1. Click Download WinClient Now below.

  2. When this dialog below pops up select Save. Should any security questions come up just click ok to each. File Save Dialog
  3. In the Save As dialog, browse to the drive and directory on your file server where Capital is installed. Once there save Winclient.exe. File Save Browse Dialog
