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 100 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 Pkg link to download the installer file. The installer

file is available as a ZIP archive:

WinClientPkg_<version>.zip

6. Unzip the installer file. The zip file extracts into a setup.exe file.
