HP Eloquence A.06.31 - Windows Installation Instructions Revision: 2001-06-29 ======================================================== This directory holds the release of the HP Eloquence A.06.31 distribution for the 32bit Windows platform. This installation program is based on the Microsoft Windows Installer and thus complies to the Microsoft Windows 2000 logo requirements. Supported platforms: Windows 2000, NT 4.0, ME, 98 and 95 ************************************************************************** * IMPORTANT NOTE: If you currently have a previous HP Eloquence A.06.30 * * release installed please uninstall it first (the A.06.31 installation * * will not take place if you don't). Use the 'Add/Remove Programs' * * applet in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall/remove a previous * * A.06.30 release before you continue. * ************************************************************************** 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.
