Installation of UltraPIPE
The first step that you must do before you can run UltraPIPE is to install it. This chapter details all of the steps that you need to follow to successfully install UltraPIPE on your system. Also outlined are the steps to remove UltraPIPE from your system when necessary.

Installing
The installation of UltraPIPE is an easy task. Just run the Setup program and enter the subdirectory or folder of the hard drive where the program should be installed. Easy to use UltraPIPE menus then guide you through the remainder of the installation process.

When installing UltraPIPE on a network with multiple workstations accessing the program, installation is required through each workstation to install required windows system files on the local drive. However, be sure to create only one program folder (IE: S:\APPS\UPIPE) on the system.

To begin the installation process, put the UltraPIPE installation CD ROM or diskette #1 in your diskette drive. Choose one of the following methods for starting the installation program: 1. Use your Windows Explorer program to select the diskette drive. Double-click the Setup.exe file. 2. Select the Start button, choose Run and open drive:\setup.exe where drive is location of the CD ROM or Diskette #1. Then click OK to start the installation of UltraPIPE. 3. Select the Start button, choose Settings, and select Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Press the Install button and then press the Next button. Windows will locate the setup program on the diskette. Press the Finish button to start the installation of UltraPIPE. No matter which method you choose to use, the window shown in Figure 2 - 1 will be displayed. At this point, UltraPIPE is preparing the program that will guide you through the installation process.

If UltraPIPE is installed to a location other than C:\UPIPE, there will be some errors the first time that UltraPIPE is run. These are not serious problems and will only occur once. See Starting UltraPIPE for more details.

Press the Back button to go back to the previous window. Press the Next button to proceed with the installation (see Figure 2 - 6) or press the Cancel button to stop the installation (see Figure 2 - 3). If a folder is entered that does not exist, the new folder will be created during the installation. If a network installation is required, assign a network drive and folder for the installation on the network (IE: K:\APPS\UPIPE). Because UltraPIPE installs system files to the C:\Windows (or C:\ WINNT) folder, it is necessary to install UltraPIPE through each workstation requiring access to UltraPIPE. For installations on different workstations of a network installation, be sure to assign the same network drive and folder for each UltraPIPE location (IE: K:\APPS\UPIPE). The installation will proceed quickly as the installation program will recognize the UltraPIPE files on the network and only install required windows system files. Do not install the UltraPIPE program in more than one location for a normal installation, as there may be confusion on start-up. This will assure a single Master Settings Path and consistent configuration for all users via a common location of the configuration file

called KBDEF.MDB. Also, keep the Support Path, Data Path, Drawing Path and DMSMate Path as installed. An unlimited number of working data folders, each with a UltraPIPE Setting for quick access, can be easily added to your installation after initial installation. Working data folders can be anywhere on the computer system. Remember that Path assignments are part of the configuration information for all Settings. For more information on settings, please see the chapter titled Adjusting your Session settings.

Do not move the UPIPE.EXE file from the assigned installation folder. Although the UltraPIPE Target and Start in icon assignments can be modified to allow the UPIPE.EXE file to be started in any location, other files are required in the C:\UPIPE (or the folder used for your installation) for proper start-up.

Figure 2 - 6 Setup Type Window

On the Setup Type window, you may choose the type of setup you prefer. Selection of the Normal option will install UltraPIPE with Crystal Reports 7.0. This option is recommended because of speed consideration when generating reports. The other option is to install UltraPIPE without Crystal Reports. For a normal setup, UltraPIPE will install a runtime version of Crystal Reports so that a user without a purchased license can still run the Crystal Reports version of reports. If you are unsure about the type of setup that best meets your needs, please contact product support. Press the Back button to go back to the previous window. Press the Next button to proceed with the installation (see Figure 2 - 7) or press the Cancel button to stop the installation (see
2-5

Figure 2 - 3). If a folder is entered that does not exist, the new folder will be created during the installation.

Figure 2 - 7 Select Program Folder Window

On the Select Program Folder window you can choose to accept the default program folder name or you may enter a different name. Press the Back button to go back to the previous window. Press the Next button to proceed with the installation (see Figure 2 - 8) or press the Cancel button to stop the installation (see Figure 2 - 3).

Figure 2 - 8 Start Copying Files Window

Please review the information on the Start Copying Files window. If any of the information is not correct, use the Back button to go to the previous windows to change any of the information. Press the Next button to proceed with the installation or press the Cancel button to stop the installation (see Figure 2 - 3). The Decompressing Files window shows the status of the installation as the files are being copied to your specified location. For a diskette installation, periodically through the file copy process, you will be prompted for the remaining installation diskettes. The window shown in Figure 2 - 9 will be displayed. Please insert the diskette indicated and press the OK button. Press the Cancel button to stop the file copy.

At this time, it is recommended that you restart your computer to allow the system files that UltraPIPE installed to register. If you do NOT restart your computer, you may run into problems when you start UltraPIPE. Whatever your choice is, click the Finish button to exit the installation program. UltraPIPE is now installed and is available as an option on your list of Programs under the Windows Start button.
