========================================================

Installation instructions
-------------------------
1) Download the appropriate setup executable depending on your operating
system:
eq63_win2k.exe - for the Windows 2000 platform
or if the Microsoft Windows Installer engine is already
present on your Windows NT, ME, 98 or 95 system
eq63_winnt.exe - for the Windows NT platform
eq63_win9x.exe - for the Windows ME, 98 and 95 platforms
Unless you plan to install HP Eloquence A.06.31 on several machines
and different platforms you need only one of these three files.
The setup executables for Windows NT, ME, 98 and 95 are about 1.4 MB
bigger than the one for Windows 2000 because they additionally include
the Microsoft Windows Installer engine which is a Windows 2000 system
component.
If the Microsoft Windows Installer engine is already present on your
Windows NT, ME, 98 or 95 system it is sufficient to download the rather
small eq63_win2k.exe (use Start Menu -> Find -> Files or Folders to
look for a file named msiexec.exe - if it exists the Microsoft Windows
Installer engine is already present).
2) The HP Eloquence components are divided into separate "cabinet" files
by category. Depending on your requirements you might not need all of
them. The installation program detects which cabinet files you downloaded.
Just download all the components you need. These are the various
components and what they contain:
eq63_client_gui.cab
- contains the runsrv32 and dlgsrv32 graphical user interface
components necessary to execute any local or remote GUI-enabled
HP Eloquence program. Such a program can conveniently be started
with either the eqstart or eqexec32 utilities which are both
included as well. This is the minimum client installation.
eq63_client_runtime.cab
- contains the eloqcore program which enables you to locally execute
HP Eloquence programs. Additionally, the HP Eloquence configuration
utility is included. If your programs all reside on remote systems
it is not necessary to install this cabinet.
eq63_client_developer.cab
- contains the HP Eloquence Integrated Development Environment
(the IDE) as well as the list and store utilities and all data base
client programs such as schema, dbcreate and dbimport. If you do
not modify your programs or data bases on or from the particular
system it is not necessary to install this cabinet.
eq63_server.cab
- contains the eloqdb6 data base server as well as the eloqsd service.
If the particular system runs Windows 2000 or NT and is intended to
act as a HP Eloquence data base and/or application server this
cabinet must be installed.
eq63_doc_html.cab
- contains the core on-line documentation and release notes and should
be installed along with the client_runtime and/or client_developer
cabinet files.
eq63_manuals_html.cab
- contains the entire manual set in HTML format. Since these are a lot
of small files you should consider to install this cabinet in a
central location and integrate it into your intranet web server's
document hierarchy.
eq63_manuals_pdf.cab
- contains the entire manual set in PDF format to be viewed with the
Adobe Acrobat Reader (TM) which is freely available on the Internet
(http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html).
eq63_client_image3k.cab
- contains the TurboIMAGE compatibility library.
In a complete installation, the three client cabinets are installed as
well as the doc_html cabinet. On Windows 2000 or NT, the server cabinet
is additionally installed. The manuals are not installed unless you
choose a customized installation and select them manually. The same
holds true for the TurboIMAGE compatibility API.
3) On Windows 2000 or NT please ensure you have administrative capabilities.
4) If you currently have a previous HP Eloquence A.06.30 release installed
please uninstall it first. Use the 'Add/Remove Programs' applet in the
Windows Control Panel to uninstall/remove a previous A.06.30 release.
If you have HP Eloquence A.06.00, A.06.10 or A.06.20 installed a prior
uninstallation is not necessary. During installation process you should
choose a customized installation and make sure you install A.06.31 into
your previous HP Eloquence installation directory.
In any case your previous configuration files are not overwritten by the
HP Eloquence A.06.31 installation process.
5) Now start the setup executable which reflects your operating system
and follow the installation instructions.
6) After installation on Windows 2000 or NT an A.06.3x license key is
required in order to use the HP Eloquence server components. During
installation a temporary license key is generated on demand which
is valid until 31 days after installation.
Please visit the HP Eloquence Web site at
http://www.hp-eloquence.com/license/
for details about obtaining a permanent HP Eloquence license key.
Your license file is located in the "etc" subdirectory of your
HP Eloquence installation, for example at
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Eloquence\etc\license.
Please comment out any previous license key when adding the new
A.06.3x license key to your license file. Otherwise the new license
may not be recognized and chklic might output the following messages:
A.06.20: Bad license key revision.
Duplicate sequence number: Ignoring license
If you're using the HP Eloquence Personal Edition, please use the
license template file "license.sam", it contains an updated license
key for the HP Eloquence Personal Edition. The file is located in
the "etc" subdirectory of your HP Eloquence installation and should
be copied into the "license" file located in the same directory.
If you encounter any installation problem please send us a message
either by e-mail (feedback@hp-eloquence.com) or fax (+49-202-2431-420).
Thank you.
Enjoy!
