Before you begin
Ensure your PC meets EMIS Web’s recommended hardware requirements. You’ll need read/write permissions on:
- C:\ProgramData\EMIS
- C:\ProgramData\SDS
Have your Organisation ID (CDB number) ready. If you’re installing at a non-headquarter site (e.g. if your ID contains a letter), be sure you enter the entire ID including the letter. If you’re remote, keep in mind you’ll need an HSCN or VPN connection.
Downloading the installer
Obtain the EMIS Web installer executable from your local source, following your practice’s IT policy. Make sure to store it somewhere you can easily access on your PC.
Running the installer
Once you’ve got the installation file:
- Close any running instances of EMIS Web.
- Locate and double-click the EMIS installer.exe file.
- In the Organisation ID field, enter your CDB number (e.g. 101 or 101a).
- If your organisation is in Jersey or Northern Ireland, choose the matching option under Advanced settings.
- If you’re on a virtual machine, select Yes when prompted.
- Click Install and wait for the process to complete. The software will download any updates needed along the way.
- Once completed, an EMIS Web shortcut should appear on your desktop. Double-click it to launch.
