So what you have is a .net set of executables and you need to run

on a fairly up-to-date windows PC- which is actually a fairly fat client with no server, but with MSSQL data streams as 'thin' as they can manage. Not at all what they promised.
Tony:
I can only assume that they mean using a central server for all the processing, with clients just generating the pretty pictures - pretty much what SIMS .Net does with MS SQL server.
MS SQL server does some processing through stored queries, triggers etc, but that's not what I would understand as a proper client/server setup. It certainly doesn't qualify SIMS.net as 'thin client' within the meaning of the act! Most of the processing happens client-side. I use this SIMS stuff and will be responsible for integrating it with other systems. Ptah! ***The 'other' meaning of thin client, is to run exe's that sit on the server at the workstation, this is how most capita software that I've seen runs.
