Problem Title:
Installing XABEL-CPLD Software Over A Network


Problem Description:
In order to Install and run The XABEL-CPLD V6.0.0 software on to a network
drive you need to do the following.


Solution 1:

The Following Assumptions will be made.
C: is the local hard drive where C:\Windows resides
D: is the CDROM mounted Drive with the XABEL-CPLD V6.0.0 CD.
N: is the Network Drive where the Software is to be installed.

Step 1: From A PC that has write permissions to the Network Drive run D:\setup
	    In the XABEL-CPLD setup program change the Destination Directory to
	    point to a directory on the network drive. Example: N:\XABEL6.
	    Finish Running the setup program on this PC.

(At this time you should be able to run the XABEL-CPLD software from
the PC you executed the setup program from.)

In order to be able to make other remote PCs able to run the XABEL-CPLD
software from the N:\XABEL6 directory follow the instructions below.

Step 2:  Install Win32s by executing the Setup program
	     D:\win32s\disk1\setup

Step 3:  If the following directories don't exist on the remote PC create them.
	     mkdir C:\windows\asym
	     mkdir C:\windows\asym\runtime


Step 4:   Copy the Following Files from the setup PC (PC which was used to
	      install to the network) to the respective directories on other rem
ote PCs.

	     C:\windows\asym.ini
	     C:\windows\system\ctl3d.dll
	     C:\windows\system\diohelp.dll
	     C:\windows\system\hyprview.dll
	     C:\windows\system\ctl3dv2.dll
	     C:\windows\system\hyprfind.dll
	     C:\windows\system\hyprview.hlp
	     C:\windows\asym\runtime\*.*  (Copy all files in this directory)

Step 5:  Next  you need to modify the user registration for the XABEL6 software.

	     Bring the file N:\XABEL6\INSTALL\XABEL.REG up in Notepad.
	     Verify that the paths in this file are correct.  If the Fitter is i
nstalled on a
	     different drive such as C:\XACT modify the below paths that state
	     N:\XACT\ to C:\XACT\.

	     Sample: xabel.reg file:
REGEDIT
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6 = Xilinx ABEL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\strings\ProductTitle = XABEL-CPLD
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\strings\ProductPrefix = ABL
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\strings\ProductVersion = 6.10
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\strings\ProductName = XABEL-CPLD
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\paths\Bin = N:\xabel6
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\paths\XKEY = N:\xabel6\License
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\paths\XACT = N:\XACT\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\paths\XACTpath = N:\XACT\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DIOEDA\Products\XABEL6\paths\Tutorial = N:\xabel6\Tutorial

Step 6:  After verifying the xabel.reg file, from Program Manager do a File->Run
 on
	     xabel.reg in order to update registration information.

Step 7:  You have now fully installed the software so that it is runable on the
remote
	     PC from the network drive all you need to do now is Create the prog
ram group
	     and program icons.
	     From Program Manager Create A New Program Group
	     Example Group Name: XABEL-CPLD NETWORK

	     Create The Following Program Items (Icons)
	     1.
		Description: XABEL-CPLD
		Command Line: N:\XABEL6\XABEL.EXE
		Working Directory: N:\XABEL6
		Shortcut Key: None

	     2.
		Description: ReadMe
		Command Line: Write.exe N:\xabel6\readme.wri
		Working Directory: N:\XABEL6
		Shortcut Key: None
