Question:

How do I install SAM Broadcaster?

Answer:

Download SAM Broadcaster
NOTE: If you are unsure which database is best for you, just download the one with MySQL database support. You will need to download and install the MySQL server (for installation support see http://mysql.com)
Select ‘Save this program to disk’ and click OK.
Browse to the location where you would like to save the file (i.e.; desktop)
Once the file has been downloaded Click Start/Run/Browse find Installation file samdb-fb.exe and click Open.
Click OK to execute installation file.
Click Yes, then click Next after reading the welcome message
Click Accept (to agree to the software terms and conditions), and then accept all defaults, clicking Next until you click Finish to close the installation program. (or click next to accept the default install path, Click Next to accept the installation options for SAM and the SAM Database i.e. MYSQL)
NOTE: if you have an existing database installed on your dedicated system, you may need to change the username and password for the database, otherwise leave as the defaults.
Once the installation has completed, you will be prompted to view the SAM readme file and start SAM, click Finish.
Note: it is suggested you read the readme file, but for now we can set that aside.
A Welcome! Window will appear that will prompt you to ‘add demo files’ and ‘add my audio files to the media library (Recommended) click Continue. Note: You may wish to uncheck the ‘add demo files’ option.
Select the location of your audio files and click OK.
SAM Broadcaster should now be running, if it is not you may execute SAM broadcaster by going to Start / Run / Programs / SAM / SAM Broadcaster.
Optional: Restart your computer.
