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 remote 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 installed 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 program 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 End of Record #914 - Last Modified: 07/29/99 18:38
