Shared Installation

This advanced installation creates a server image of the Hummingbird product and saves it to a network location.

Note: On Windows NT 4.0--Terminal Server Edition, shared installation is not possible.

Tip: This type of installation applies to Windows NT/2000 platforms, but not Windows NT 4.0 Server--Terminal Server Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Terminal Services enabled.

To launch a shared installation:

Launch Setup Wizard in administration mode by one of the following methods:
- from the command line using the syntax:
E:\setup /a

where E:\ is the CD-ROM drive.

Tip: The /a flag launches the executable file in administrative mode.
- run Msetup.exe from the product CD. In the Hummingbird Master Setup application window, click Install Product, then Administrative Installation.
If you are prompted, select a language for the installation. English is the default.

Note: For certain products, English is the only supported language. Once selected, the language applies to all subsequent users installing Hummingbird products on the PC.

Tip: The language will apply to all network installations from this server.
Click Next in the Welcome dialog box.
In the Network Location dialog box, type a path to an accessible network location (server) or click Change to open a browse dialog box. Click Next.
In the Network Location Type dialog box, select Shared Image. Click Next.
When Setup Wizard is ready, click Install.
All of the required files are installed to the specified network location.
Users wanting to use this product must perform a workstation installation.

Workstation Installation

This scenario requires an existing shared image installation. The product is installed to network workstations from the shared image located on a network server. Certain features are set to run from this network location.

Note: This type of installation will not start on Windows NT 4.0--Terminal Server Edition.

To launch a workstation installation:

Run Setup.exe from the network location.

Tip: Users can install products from the shared image in the context of either the Standard/Personal or Standard/Personal with Administrator Privileges scenarios.
For details about this part of the procedure, see Personal Installation beginning at step 3.

Note: In the Custom Setup dialog box, the install state of certain features (and sub-features) are by default set to run from the network. For workstation installations that are cross-platform (for example, installing from a shared image on a Windows NT/2000 server to a 95/98 workstation), features that contain platform-specific components are set to run locally on the workstation, not from the server.
Installation proceeds to completion.
