OpenInsight 9.0 Workstation Installation Notes (Installation)

Overview

To roll out an OpenInsight 9.0.0 application to a workstation requires that several libraries and controls be registered by a administrative user. Some of the components will automatically install upon first use if the local user has workstation administrator access. Since many organizations don't give users local administrator rights to the workstation this document is designed to help you identify the components that need to be installed or setup in advance.

For the purpose of this article assume users do not have administrator access and the files will need to be setup by script or hand. This article covers workstations using Windows 2000 and later. Some components may already be installed as part of the Windows Update process.

Installation Prerequisites

        Windows Installer 3.1 - Required component for the .NET Framework (see below)

        .NET Framework- Used by OIPI.NET for printing

OpenInsight Setup

Files here can be found in the root of your OpenInsight 9.0 program folder. These files must be installed or registered by an administrator. Use the Windows program regsvr32 to register .OCX files. You may automate this process with the use of a administrator logon script.
