Troubleshooting

If the ICD does not install (might show error 1069, 1920, or 1923), there may be an issue with the credentials. Cancel the installation, re-run the installer as administrator, and when prompted for credentials (Step 9) leave them blank and click Next. When installation is complete, find the ITRANS Claim Director in Services and go to Properties. Re-enter the credentials under This Account in the Log On tab.
