New Installation of IET600

Section 2 New Installation of IET600 GUID-A50DB950-96C1-49B4-84C0-F81BD1EB2E64 v2

This chapter is valid if you install IET600 5.4 or later on a new PC. If you upgrade from an installation
of IET600 5.3 FP2 or older, please see chapter Upgrading from IET600 5.3 FP2 and earlier.

2.1 Overview GUID-E8E7DE4F-0CDB-4E6F-9B0D-BF0E9CFFC5B9 v2

The IET600 installation consists of two installation packages:

1. IET600 Prerequisites :
Contains the above mentioned software components and configures a special MSSQL instance
IETSERVER2 as a database where IET600 will later store its data.
The IET600 Prerequisites need to be installed only for the first time on a new PC or if you are
upgrading from an older IET600 5.2.x installation or if you need to install .NET Framework 4.8
offline.
2. ABB IET600 Setup :
Installs the 5.4.x version of IET600

When inserting the USB memory stick, the following screen appears.

2.2 Install IET600 Prerequisites GUID-88F8D9CE-708C-4AFA-8401-8F0ADB71F29C v1

1. Start the Installer Package by double-clicking on ABB IET600 Prerequisites.exe.

2. If Windows Installer 4.5 is not yet installed on your PC, it will be installed.
3. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not yet installed on your PC, it will be installed.
4. After that, a Welcome Dialog appears.
5. The only configuration needed is the path to the IETSERVER2 instance of the MSSQL Server
installation.
This is the place where the system files and logs of the MSSQL server instance. You will
probably never need to bother with these files, so the default path is a good choice.
Please observe the following restrictions:

• This path needs to be on a local drive (it cannot be on a network drive)

• The folder with all its content must never be compressed (MSSQL databases will not
work when compressed).
• The folder with all its content must never be encrypted with Microsoft EFS (MSSQL
databases use another user account and will therefore not be able to access folders
encrypted for a specific user, for details see Annex, chapter MSSQL Server and
Encryption).
6. Before the installation starts, you are asked for confirmation.
7. The IET600 Prerequisites are now installed. After a successful installation, you can proceed to
install IET600.

2.3 Install IET600 GUID-5280D1F4-7299-45EB-BAC4-D2D384DE2C4A v2

The IET600 Prerequisites must be installed before IET600 can be installed.

1. Start the Installer Package by double-clicking on Install IET600 Setup 5.4.

2. License Agreement – Read and accept the terms of the license agreement.
3. Customer Information – optionally enter User Name and Organization into corresponding field
and specify if the license is to be designated for the specified user only or all users on the
computer.
4. Destination Folder – Choose the default folder (C:/Program Files (x86)/HITACHI) or specify
another destination folder.
5. Click Install to start installation.

IET600 is now installed in the Destination folder. A Shortcut is also available on the Desktop to start
the program.

2.4 Upgrade to .NET Framework 4.8 GUID-D979405A-7F04-489D-A872-A95C0EDF4BCF v1

IET600 5.3 FP8 or later requires at least Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. This can be installed in two
different ways depending on your PC configuration.

2.4.1 Install IET600 Prerequisites 5.2.5 or later GUID-34FA08EA-2FE2-42F2-AA35-E5A3F14ADB2B v1

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 will be deployed with the IET600 Prerequisites 5.2.5 or later.

With this setup you can also update the .NET Framework of an earlier IET600 Prerequisites 5.2.x
installation. No internet connection is required.

2.4.2 Download .NET Framework 4.8 GUID-CD72A7A4-CAC6-492E-A04D-5D37C8055039 v2

The .NET Framework 4.8 can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.

If the following condition are fulfilled, you can upgrade the .NET Framework when you run IET600 5.4
the first time:

• An earlier version of IET600 Prerequisites (5.2.0 - 5.2.2) is already installed on your PC.
• .NET Framework 4.5 or later is installed.
• Your PC has access to the internet.

Upgrade steps:

1. Install IET600 5.4 .

2. Run IET600 5.4 .
An error dialog will ask you for confirmation. Click Yes to continue.

Getting a License for IET600

Section 3 Getting a License for IET600 GUID-F9B7BCCC-FC80-4DC8-B3D7-4BE0025AFB40 v2

IET600 needs a License to run.

When you obtained IET600, you should have received a Dongle that contains the License:

Connect this Dongle to a USB-Port of the PC on which you have IET600 installed (all necessary
software components, drivers etc. have been installed along with IET600). It may take the system up
to 10 seconds to recognize the License; after that time you can start IET600 and use it.

If you try to start IET600 and no license is found on your PC, you may get the following error
message:

In this case, the Dongle has either not been plugged in or has not been recognized. If possible,
correct the problem and click OK.

3.1 Restarting the License Manager Service GUID-5B0AC0BC-94C4-414F-8708-40568F6D80F6 v1

Occasionally it happens that after an installation, the License Manager Service does not start; or that
it unexpectedly stops. If this service is not running and you try to start IET600, the following dialog
will appear:

If you have administrator rights, you can start the service again manually:

Open the Services Management console ( services.msc or Control Panel /Administrative Tools /
Services ).

Check whether the service Sentinel Local License Manager is running, otherwise start it from the
context menu:

If you do not have administrator rights, you need to reboot your PC.

Updating IET600

Section 4 Updating IET600 GUID-22E68047-6047-425B-ABF2-C668A6E33D40 v1

This chapter applies, if you have IET600 5.3 FP3 (IET600 5.3.3xx). If you had older
versions (IET600 5.3.2xx or smaller), see Upgrading from IET600 5.3 FP2 and
earlier.

4.1 Overview GUID-A5B046F7-9422-4180-A76E-140072FB65B8 v1

An IET installation package has the version name included, e.g. ABB IET600 SAS Setup - Baseline
5.3.305.zip.

To allow you to easily check for available updates, IET600 provides an in-built check.

4.2 Update Concept GUID-EA1A5E6D-B814-4055-970D-C311774C213E v1

We distinguish between:

• Bugfixes
• Updates (adding of minor features, improvements etc.).
• Upgrades (adding of considerable new functionality).

IET600 has an inbuilt check whether any of the above updates are available (see chapter "Checking
for Updates").

4.3 Bugfixes GUID-6F49D011-33CF-4399-93B3-B90CD20B810C v1

If the version differs only in the 4th digit (e.g. 5.3.305.1 against 5.3.305.2), it is a “bugfix”.

As the older version is considered to be buggy and should not be used in future, a bugfix version will
overwrite the corresponding older version with the same 1st, 2nd and 3rd digit (e.g. 5.3.305.2 will
overwrite 5.3.305.1, but not 5.3.304.x).

It is recommended to always install such “bugfix” versions. They do not require a new license.

4.4 Updates GUID-F684E890-CAA7-4F22-9437-6E84A5617658 v1

IET600 is under continuous development, small features which enhance usability, engineering
efficiency etc. are added continuously. So that you may soon take advantage of these, IET600
provides “Feature Updates”.

Versions differs in the 3th digit (e.g. 5.3.11 against 5.3.10) will typically contain such improvements or
additional features, but no major changes.

Such a version will be installed in parallel to existing versions; i.e. existing versions will not be
removed. However, if you open a project in the newer version, it may require a migration after which
a project cannot be opened in older versions. It is strongly recommended to always open a project in
the older version one more time and make a backup before opening it in the new version.

Changes in the operation of IET in such versions are typically slight and can be understood
intuitively, no re-training is required.

Section 4 1MRK500115-UEN Rev. V
Updating IET600

While such versions are tested against common project configurations, they very occasionally
introduce a bug or change a behaviour in a way that is unexpected to the engineer. It is therefore
recommended to delay an update when in critical periods of engineering; otherwise an update is
recommended and uncritical as you can always go back to using an older version installed in parallel.

“Feature” updates usually require no new license, but there may be exceptions. See chapter
"Checking for Updates" to find out whether a new license is required.

4.5 Major Updates GUID-898A58C2-F234-43AC-ABEF-4428E1AE75DE v1

If the version differs in the 2nd digit (e.g. 5.3 against 5.2), it will contain major new features. Usually a
training will be required for users to familiarize themselves with new editors, concepts or engineering
processes.

Such a version will be installed in parallel to existing versions; i.e. existing versions will not be
removed. If you open a project in the newer version, typically a migration will be required, after which
a project cannot be opened in older versions. It is strongly recommended to always open a project in
the older version one more time and make a backup before opening it in the new version.

Major updates usually will require a new license, but there may be exceptions. See chapter
"Checking for Updates" to find out whether a new license is required.

4.6 Checking for Updates GUID-D1189864-B1D4-4FBC-9B34-D4AA0CCA2D8A v1

1. From the Application Menu, choose Options

2. Open the Updates tab. It will show you the current IET600 version.

Upgrading from IET600 5.3 FP2 and earlier

Section 5 Upgrading from IET600 5.3 FP2 and

earlier GUID-4142F6DA-0343-4D43-B65B-59A62434CF27 v1

5.1 Introduction GUID-A191D140-DD2F-4A9F-BF67-2E1FDEB01506 v1

IET600 uses MSSQL as a database to store its projects; MSSQL is installed in the ABB IET600
Prerequisites setup.

Until IET600 5.3.2xx MSSQL Server® 2008 Express was used. Any earlier IET600 version used the
same MSSQL version, therefore there was no need for any upgrade.

To support Windows 10 (which IET600 5.3 FP3 or newer supports), MSSQL Server® 2014 Express
is required. It will be installed in parallel to the older MSSQL Server® 2008 Express.

New projects created with IET600 5.3 FP3 or newer will therefore be residing on a different database
than the old ones. Unlike in earlier updates, you will not see any projects from older IET600 versions,
but must take an additional step to transfer them to the new database, from where they can then be
migrated and opened like in earlier IET600 Updates.

Installation procedure and project migration will now be described in detail.

5.2 Preliminary Remarks GUID-57EF26B2-4099-4C29-9E40-7E637677340B v1

You may use both MSSQL Server® versions in parallel, if you need to work with both IET600 5.3
FP2 (or older), and IET600 5.3 FP3 (or newer) on the same PC. Also for the upgrade described here,
you need both versions.

To prevent conflicts between the two MSSQL server products, several names and folders have been
changed in IET600 5.3 FP3. The following table gives an overview of the differences:

IET600 5.3 FP2 or older IET600 5.3 FP3 – FP5 IET600 5.3 FP6

To make it easy for you, you can get access to IET600 5.4 the same way as any normal update (see
chapter "Checking for Updates"). However, not only the comparatively small IET600 installation
package will be downloaded, but a new version of the IET600 Prerequisites which are more than 10
times the size.

Therefore, please do not be surprised if download and installation take considerably longer than
usual.

You can verify that everything went well after the installation by opening the Microsoft “Computer
Management” Dialog:

Repairing an IET600 Installation

Section 6 Repairing an IET600 Installation GUID-17ED1FBC-3346-4931-8191-3728FAD790CB v1

6.1 Repair IET600 GUID-22F42009-CFF7-4000-963D-CA7FD9E7E782 v3

Today’s Microsoft operating systems have miscellaneous mechanisms to either prevent accidental
deletion of program components or restore them automatically. A Repair of an IET600 installation
should therefore be needed only rarely.

If you decide to do a Repair, you need to have the Installation package of the particular IET600
version, which you want to repair, available.

1. Run the Installation package ABB IET600 Setup.exe.

2. The following dialog appears, select Repair, then Next:

GUID-F0124825-A925-4832-A36C-D2F5675114EB V1 EN-US

3. One more dialog will ask you for confirmation. If you confirm with Install, the IET600 version will
be repaired.

Repairing an IET600 installation will not repair a defective MS SQL Server installation which is also
needed by IET600 for correct functioning.

6.2 Repair IET600 Prerequisites GUID-F0DC9A5A-7A3D-4747-B8FA-0668E39DA096 v3

A ‘Repair’ of IET600 Prerequisites should be needed only rarely as most components are part of the
operating system (for these components, the IET600 Prerequisites just ensure that they actually exist
in older version of the operating system).

In rare cases, the MSSQL Server may need a repair. You can try a repair directly; experience shows
however, that quite often, MSSQL IETSERVER2 needs to be removed first to ensure a clean install/
repair afterwards.

If you decide to do a ‘Repair’, you need to have the Installation package of the particular IET600
Prerequisites, which you want to repair, available.

7.3 Remove MSSQL/IETSERVER GUID-DE29DE05-16CE-4313-91B4-DCD5FB90309B v1

7.3.1 Introduction GUID-09BD356E-1D74-473E-8B38-80FC97D957F9 v1

When using MSSQL, it is installed as different instances which are independent of each other.
Unfortunately, when uninstalling it, this is made apparent only relatively late in the uninstallation
process.

7.3.2 When not to Remove MSSQL Instances GUID-C38B9D77-D147-4C46-BC8E-7A78E6B19B6B v1

While you are using IET600 5.3 FP3 and newer, you must not uninstall IETSERVER2.

While you are using IET600 5.3 FP2 and older, you must not uninstall IETSERVER.

For an Upgrade from IET600 5.3 FP2 and older to IET600 5.3 FP3 and newer, you need both
IETSERVER and IETSERVER2 instances.

7.3.3 When to Remove MSSQL Instances GUID-930AA7B7-7BEA-4F2B-B846-3DAD015F42A3 v1

it is considered good security practice to remove applications which you do not need anymore. This
is also true for an MSSQL Server Instance.

If you uninstall any such instance, be sure to export or archive all projects from within IET600 before,
otherwise your project data may be lost!

Valid cases in which you might want to uninstall an MSSQL Server instance are:

• You have upgraded all projects from IET600 5.3 FP2 and older and do not intend to use an older
IET600 version anymore.
• You shift IET600 from a PC to another one, you have exported all projects and now want to
uninstall all IET600 components in the first PC.

7.3.4 Removal of IETSERVER Instance GUID-A4F7F1C3-5AA0-4BE0-9DBB-589696584AC2 v1

Below we show how to remove an older IETSERVER instance. You might want to do this, if you have
upgraded from IET600 5.3 FP2 and older and have upgraded all projects to the newer version

1. Navigate to Control /Programs /Uninstall a Program:

2. Scroll Down to Microsoft SQL Server 2008; right-click and select Uninstall / Change.

3. The following dialog opens:

If all checks pass, click OK.

5. In the next dialog, you can select the instances you want to remove. Select the instance you
want to remove (in our example IETSERVER).
(The other instances are independent, so there is no danger that you will affect other programs
depending on other instances).

9.2 Known MSSQL Server Installation Problems GUID-B4FF86F9-2E2E-4750-B3AA-2DA00BF6284F v1

When installing the IET600 Prerequisites, occasionally, they do not install correctly. Almost
exclusively, this is due to a problem in the installation of MSSQL Server.

The following chapters provide you some guidance what you can check in such a case.

9.2.1 Incompatibility of MSSQL Server 2008 with MSSQL Server 2008

R2 GUID-5833E7CE-D1B4-4ED3-B347-B940F94AB4DF v1

IET600 5.3 FP2 and older versions rely on MSSQL Server 2008. Even though the name may
suggest otherwise, this version is not compatible with MSSQL Server 2008 R2 as the shared
components of each version will overwrite those of the other version and render it useless.

If you have any other application which requires MSSQL Server 2008 R2, the only solution is to use
IET600 5.3 FP3 with MSSQL Server 2014 (older projects from another IET600 installation can be
imported via *.ietprj files).

Annex

9.2.2 Verify Existing IETSERVER Instance(s) GUID-7A7A818A-4D45-4BBA-AE6D-ED7A78FC6F14 v1

1. Open the Management Console (Right-Click Computer Icon on Desktop -> Manage)
2. Select Services, scroll down to SQL …
3. You should now see the following (the older IETSERVER items only exist, if you have upgraded
from an earlier installation, the two IETSERVER2 items must appear). Verify the status of each
item according to the picture below:

4. If the services are there, but SQL Server is not started, try to start it manually (right-click on the
service -> Start). If it does not start now, it may provide you an error message indicating what
has gone wrong.
5. If the services are not there, the MSSQL installation has failed.

9.2.3 Installation Fails due to Pending Reboot GUID-9D15CDD1-55CC-4970-BA4E-A992F28A6E56 v1

After that, the most common reason for a failing MSSQL installation is a pending reboot. Although
the installer tries to find out about pending reboots, there are several such mechanisms in Windows,
and quite often a pending reboot is overlooked.

Reboot your PC. After reboot, before you try again to install the IET600 Prerequisites, please check
in the Task Manager in the Process Tab, if one or several msiexec.exe processes are running.

If so, already another installation process has started which will interfere again with the MSSQL
installation. This is commonly encountered in a new PC of an older Microsoft OS version (e.g.
Windows 7), the OS may download updates and security patches for 1-2 hours, and some of those
require a reboot. In such cases, it is recommended to wait till at least OS and Virus Scanner are fully
updated.

9.2.4 MSSQL Server and Encryption GUID-0A6D785D-9F4F-474C-AF2D-120C4F98C9B3 v1

It becomes more and more common to encrypt data to protect them (e.g. due to loss of a notebook).

There are some basically different versions of encryption:

• Disk encryption encrypts the whole disk, on mounting the disk, its contents are decrypted and
provided to the user. Products are e.g. Microsoft Bitlocker or TrueCrypt. This can be used
concurrently with MSSQL Server.
• File-based encryption. This is most commonly tied to a User Account, so that designated files
(e.g. all files below C: /Data ) are encrypted with a user-specific key. Products are e.g.
Encrypting File System (EFS) provided by Microsoft’s operating systems.
As MSSQL Server has its own account to access its files and system databases, such systems
are only compatible, if several user accounts can be made to use the same key. This is not the
case for EFS encrypted files, you need to specifically exclude all databases and folders used by
MSSQL from this kind of encryption (per default, these are the folders C: /Data /IETDatabases
and C: /Data /IETProjects ).
