Installing Intergraph IDEAL


This document covers and describes the system requirements and installation procedures for the Interface to Distributed Environment Application Layer (IDEAL) components. The core of the IDEAL software is the APITOOLS.EXE application, whose function is to pass commands from the user application to INtools Server using IIS Server.

Software Requirements
The following requirements are specified for the correct running of IDEAL: You must have Windows NT 4.0 on the computer where you are going to install IDEAL. You must install INtools Server. For details, see INtools Server Installation Guide. To view instrument specifications, process data sheets, and other non-wiring reports, you must display them in .pdf format, which requires you to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on your client machine. To display reports in other formats, you must install a suitable viewer application.

INtools 6.0 Installing INtools IDEAL


You can configure the software for one of the following types of installation: Local installation Each client machine has a separate installation of the full set of IDEAL components. For a local installation, you must have Windows 95 or later. Network client installation In this type of installation, the full set of IDEAL components is installed on an application server and each client machine has a network installation of IDEAL.

Registering Installed Files


Common Files
Both local and network client installations include a mini Explorer installation as a component. This installation includes the file Shdocvw.dll. This file needs to be on the client machine even for a thin client installation, and should be located in a System folder, for example, System32. The file Shdocvw.dll is a self-registering file that you need to register. An additional installed file, APITools.exe, can reside anywhere and does not require registration. In a network client installation, this file resides on the application server.

Local Installation Files


The local installation includes a RAD Viewer installation as a component. This installation includes the following self-registering files: Objsafe.tlb ESLViewer.ocx RADView.ocx

These files are located in the program folder and you need to register them on the local machine.

Network Client Installation Files


For a network client installation, the following self-registering files are located on the Application Server: Objsafe.tlb ESLViewer.ocx RADView.ocx

On the client machine, all that you need to do is to register these files.

INtools 6.0 Installing INtools IDEAL


The INtools API Client should be resident where the INtools Server is located or on a separate application server machine. In both of these cases, you need to register the following self-registering files on the client machines: Comct332.ocx Comdlg32.ocx Msxml3.dll Tabctl32.ocx Mscomctl.ocx
