Installation of Library Management Software (LMS), Digital Library Software (DLS) or  Content Management Software (CMS) in Microsoft Windows platform requires multiple softwares. There are some particular sequence and requires some expertise.   For this reason interested professionals some times not able to experiment with it before its practical implementation. I am working on software installation hazards mainly LMS, DLS and CMS  and trying to identify the probable reasons that generally hinders installation particularly in the Microsoft Windows. Please let me know your experience about the installation of different softwares (like DSpace, KOHA, Greenstone, NewGenLibr, SOUL version 1.0 & 2.0, Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla or others). Please mention point of failure with a screen shoot of it.

hello sir
i have installed e-granthalya in my pc & set a user id & password but forgot this. now its not working .i format my pc now. if i install it again it will work or not. help me regarding this problem

[Raja Biswas]

As you mentioned that you have already formatted your system. So, installation of the same software will be a new instance. Thus you have to install it from the beginning, that means it requires a fresh installation. It will work definitely with the new user id and password created for it for this new installation. Best of luck.
