Note To install MDAC 2.1, you must first copy the mdac_type.exe from the release
media to a writable temporary directory and execute it from there. This is a
limitation of the installer. In other words, you cannot properly install MDAC
directly from the CD or from read-only media. Once this installation is
complete (you may have to reboot), you can proceed with the AlarmTracker
Client installation.
Running the Installation Script
If MDAC 2.1 SP2 or higher is present, then AlarmTracker installation can
proceed.
If you are working with an installation disk, you can double click setup.exe to
begin the installation. If you have a self-installing executable named
Install_AlarmTracker.exe, then you can double click that file to begin.
As with most installations, you will be prompted to select a location for the files.
You can accept the default, or you can navigate to another folder which does not
have to exist. The Installation folder selection is the only user-selectable
installation option.
When installation completes, some COM components will be registered. This
may require a system reboot for the registration to take effect.
