About CCH iXBRL Review & Tag 2022.1

CCH iXBRL Review & Tag may be installed in one of two ways. Where CCH Central is present it may be installed on a file server in the Central program folder, using the Central Suite Installer. Alternatively, where CCH Central is not present it may be installed locally on each PC required to run the product, using InstallShield.

This document describes how to do the latter. The steps described in the section Running the iXBRL Review & Tag Setup Wizard must therefore be carried out on every computer that needs to run the software. All computers should have the same version of CCH iXBRL Review & Tag installed at the same time, before using the product.

General Advice

Before you start installing this upgrade:

Ensure all programs, including email, are closed on the PC on which CCH iXBRL Review & Tag is to be installed.

Full administration rights will be required to successfully install CCH iXBRL Review & Tag. In many cases the regular login used will have administration rights. However, it is worth checking in advance of running the upgrade.

Creating a Temporary Download Folder

The CCH iXBRL Review & Tag software should be downloaded from the CCH Support website into a temporary folder. It is suggested that the temporary folder is called RT2022-1-DownLoad. The download installation files assume this is the folder name that has been opted for, and that it is on the local C: drive. However, the option is available to select an alternate folder name and location.

If CCH iXBRL Review & Tag is to be installed on more than one PC, and if there is a network present, it is suggested that the RT2022-1-DownLoad folder is created on the file server and shared. In this way the software installer can be downloaded once and made available to all PCs on which the software is to be installed. Where no network is present, the temporary folder must be created, and the software installer file must be downloaded to each PC that is to have the software installed.

Upgrade to .NET version 4.8

If you have not installed CCH iXBRL Review & Tag 2021.3, please note that your installation is assessed and if you are not already running at least .NET version 4.8 it is automatically updated.

The earlier version of .NET Framework utilised by the Central suite was 4.6.1., it has been announced by Microsoft that support for this version is to end in April 2022. Accordingly, the Central suite has been upgraded to version 4.8. If you are not running .NET version 4.8 or higher this is automatically installed.

An error occurred trying to replace the existing file

While running the installation wizard I get a window similar to that shown below, with a message:

An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file; DeleteFile failed; code 32. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

This message occurs when the server is unable to update (delete and replace) a program file. In most cases this is because CCH iXBRL Review & Tag is still in use on the computer being updated. Check that CCH iXBRL Review & Tag is not open in the background and click Retry or restart the installation wizard if you have already clicked Abort and closed the wizard.

If problems persist, close all open programs, restart the computer and the restart the CCH iXBRL Review & Tag installation wizard.
