Install client part of the Optimising software on a Workstation

 

How to set up a Workstation when running the Optimising program on a server

 

Check with the Network administrator before attempting to install the Network key software - they may need to set security and access rights.

 

Do NOT use these instructions for Windows Terminal Sever install

 

When the Optimising software is installed on a server it is also necessary to do a 'client' install on each workstation running the program as this installs or updates system software at the client PC that the program needs to run.

 

Set up each Workstation that will be running the Optimising program.

 

 Make sure that the workstation can access the server

The setup program should start automatically.

 

(If the setup program does not run open the CD-ROM Drive with Windows Explorer. Double click on the program setup.exe - this is on the root directory of the CD-ROM).

 

A series of dialog screens take you through the setup procedure. Follow the instructions carefully.  

 

At the dialog: Choose Destination Location

 

Enter the path on the Server which the Optimising program was installed to.

 

Note - the setup program needs this information so that it can create shortcuts to this directory from the Workstation and create a Program group for the Windows Start menu at the Workstation.

 

At the dialog: Select Components a list of items to install is displayed

 

Program files

System files

TEC Cabinet Library V2.01

Metric parameter templates

Metric Demo data

 

The components 'Program files' and 'System files' are checked. Uncheck 'Program files' and leave 'System files' checked.

 

'System files' is usually the only component required for a 'client' setup on a workstation

 

Note - The demonstration and other data is usually not needed as this is installed at the Server (if required).

 

A Program group for the Windows Start menu is created for the Workstation. This contains shortcuts to the Optimising Program and other utilities.

 

When the setup program is finished the Workstation is ready to run the Optimising Program
