Installing the Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver

Install the Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver on the computer where the application you want to connect to Zoho Books is running.

Installing on Windows

The Windows installation can be done by anyone with local administrator privileges.

Download the Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver installer.
Follow the onscreen instructions to progress through the installation wizard.

Updating files that are in use

To avoid rebooting your computer, the Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver installer prompts you when files that it needs to update are in use by another application or service. This frees the locked files and allows the installation to complete without a system restart. The installer uses the Restart Manager to locate the applications that are using files that need updating. These applications are displayed in the Files in Use dialog box. To avoid a system restart, choose Automatically close applications and attempt to restart them after setup is complete. The Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver installer then uses Restart Manager to try to stop and restart each application or service in the list. If possible, Restart Manager restores applications to the same state that they were in before it shut them down.

Licensing

By default, the installer starts the Easysoft License Manager, because you can’t use the Easysoft ODBC-Zoho Books Driver until you have a license.
