Uninstalling Older Versions of Windows Drivers and Tools
Before using the Windows client package, you must uninstall older versions of the drivers and
tools listed in Table 1 (page 5).
For most of the drivers and tools, you can do this by using a Start menu command (for example,
Start > All Programs > HP Database Manager > Uninstall HP Database Manager). If a Start
menu command is not available for uninstalling a driver or tool, try uninstalling by using
Add/Remove Programs (for Windows XP) or Uninstall or Change a Program (for Windows
Vista).
Downloading the Installation Package
The client package installer is distributed as a ZIP file.
NOTE: The zip file can be more than 90 MB in size. Because of the file size, it can take an hour
or more to download using a slower (56K) connection.
1. Log on to the client workstation as an administrator user. You must be an administrator to
install the driver software, but not necessarily the tools.
2. Anywhere on the client workstation, create a directory or folder for the installer file. The
directory or folder should be easy to locate because the installer file is used for more than
just installing the software. You might need to use the installer file later to modify or uninstall
drivers or tools.
3. Start a Web browser and navigate to the Software Depot download site:
http://www.software.hp.com
4. Under Our top featured products, click HP Neoview Platform.
5. Click the HP Neoview Windows Client Package link to view the product details and
specifications page.
6. Follow the instructions to download the installer file. The installer file is available as a ZIP
archive:
WinClientPkg_<version>.zip
7. Unzip the installer file. The zip file extracts into a setup.exe file.
