Server Installation Instructions

A Network Installation may be done in one of two ways:

Hard Disk Based Installation: The Folio Views software, Workstation Installation Software and all the libraries selected for installation will be copied to the location specified, on the Network Server. The CD will not be required after Installation is complete. The amount of disk space required depends on the libraries selected. Installation will detect the amount of free disk space on the computer and calculate the space required for the libraries selected.

The instructions for a Hard Disk Based Installation commence on page 19.

CD-ROM Based Installation: Only the Workstation Installation files, and the files required to run the Folio Views software from the CD will be copied to the location specified on the Network Server. The CD will need to remain in the Network Server after the Installation is complete, in order to access the libraries.

Click here for a CD-ROM Based Installation.

Hard Disk Based Installation

The following steps may be undertaken either at the server directly or from an "installation workstation". The same installation workstation must be used whenever the CD-ROM is updated, as important entries are made to its hard drive and Windows registry.

1. Create a shared target directory

 

• Create a directory on your server. (eg: C:\BWNPUBS). You can use Windows Explorer or My Computer to do this.

• Share this directory, so that each user will have full READ/WRITE rights to this directory. Do this by right-clicking on Bwnpubs and selecting Sharing...

• Select the tab and click on Accept bwnpubs as the

* Select

• Ensure that Everyone has Full Control.

• Click until you return to Windows NT Explore.

• Click on the tab (if one exists) and click on the button

• Click until you return to Windows NT Explore.

• Check that the bwnpubs folder has a little hand on it. This is the sharing symbol.

2. Determine the computer name of your server

• From the menu on the server, select SettingsControl PanelNetwork

• Select the Identification tab and write down the Computer Name of the server (eg.MLJ_NT01). You will need this to map the shared target directory.

• Click Cancel and close the Control Panel

. Create a mapping on the server for the directory you have created

• At the desktop, right-click on the "My Computer" icon and choose Map Network Drive

• Choose a Drive: that is available for all of the workstations on the network. (eg.P:\)

For the Path: enter the Computer name and the share name in this format:
\\Computer_name\share_name

For example: \\MLJ_NT01\BWNPUBS

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. The installation computer as well as all other workstations will need to have the same mapping to this directory, and the CD- ROM drive on the Server in the form of a fixed drive letter. (eg. The server's directory C:\BWNPUBS must be mapped to the letter P:\ on each workstation).
  2. In the case of a network that makes use of 32-bit (Windows 95/98 and\or Windows NT) and 16-bit (Windows 3.x) workstations, the Initial Network Installation MUST be run from a computer with a 32-bit operating system such as Windows 95/98 or Windows NT Workstation.
  3. For peer-to-peer networks, click here.

4. Place the CD into the CD-ROM drive on the Server.
(Users of Novell Netware who want to run the electronic libraries from the CD will need to mount the CD on the Server).

5. Run the installation program
• Click on Start and select Run.
• In the "Open" textbox type D:\Setup (where D is the CD-ROM drive letter).
• Press Enter or click on OK.

Instructions for silent installs
  1. Ensure that all drive mappings of all the workstations are identical.
  2. Perform a network installation on the server as per normal.
  3. Perform a workstation installation with the following syntax:
    P:\Workstat\Setup -r
    (where P:\ is the mapped drive)

    The "-r" switch will record what you select during the installation and write a script file called "setup.iss" to the WINDOWS folder of that workstation. This is a simple ascii file. Future workstation installations can read this file and use it for its parameters instead of having the operator select each option.

  4. Now, to prepare to use the silent install process, copy the SETUP.ISS into the directory on the server named "workstat" which was created as a result of running the network installation in step 2.
  5. To test the results, go to a second workstation and execute the following command manually:
    P:\WORKSTAT\SETUP.EXE -s
    (where P:\ is the mapped drive)

    The "-s" switch will look for and read the file called "setup.iss".

  6. If you like the results, add the command to the logon script of thenetwork and workstation setups should be setup as part of the login script.

    NOTE - If you do not want to copy the setup.iss file into the workstat directory, you can indicate the path of that file when you run the setup program as per the following example:
    P:\WORKSTAT\SETUP.EXE -s -f1Y:\SETUP.ISS

    where -f1 = Location of the ISS file

Uninstalling Libraries on the Workstation

Once electronic libraries have been installed, they may be uninstalled, should the need arise.
To uninstall electronic libraries:

• From the Menu, select SettingsControl Panel

• Double-click on then select the Butterworths Publications Workstation entry.

• Click on the button.

A Confirm File Deletion dialog will be displayed, prompting you to confirm the removal of the Butterworths Publications (Stand Alone) and all of its components:

• Click on the button to confirm removal.

The uninstall program will now remove all installed files and components. Wait for all of the components to be ticked and for the button to become active.

Click on the button to close the Remove Programs From Your Computer dialogue.

Network Update Instructions

At the server
Proceed as you would for a new installation (refer page 20). If your Butterworths/MLJ CD-ROM is a subscription product, then you will be entitled to a number of updates within that subscription. For example, a 1999 subscription to The Singapore Case Law Library entitles the subscriber to three CD-ROM issues - an initial CD-ROM and then two updates.

All CD-ROMs in the subscription will require you to run setup as you would for a new installation (refer page 20).

Only your first CD-ROM installation within a subscription period requires you to unlock the CD-ROM. Hence your installation routine for a 1999 subscription year consisting of three releases would be as follows:

1999
Release 1 of 3

1999
Release 2 of 3

1999
Release 3 of 3
2000
Release 1 of 3

At the workstations

So long as the installation paths and program folders remain unchanged, any update at the server will be accessible from the workstations.
