README for the HP Neoview Windows Client Package (R2.5)

CAUTION: Do not continue if installation of a prerequisite component fails. The Windows

client package cannot be used unless all of the prerequisite components are installed

successfully. If the prerequisites cannot be installed, try installing the drivers and tools

individually, referring to the READMEs listed in Table 1 (page 5). These READMEs are

available in the HP Business Support Center at http://www.hp.com/go/neoviewdocs.

6. If you chose the Custom setup type, InstallShield asks you to choose the destination folder

for the tools. The default destination folder is C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\.

To choose a different folder, click Browse, and select the folder. Then click Next.

NOTE: Regardless of the specified destination folder, Neoview Transporter is installed in

the root directory of the primary volume. This location cannot be changed.

7. InstallShield asks you to select the features (drivers and tools) that you want to install. Select

(or deselect) the boxes next to the appropriate drivers and tools, and click Next. InstallShield

displays the Ready to Install the Program dialog box.

NOTE: You can ignore the “space required” information displayed by InstallShield during

the installation process. This information usually is not accurate. To ensure enough disk

space for a successful installation, see the disk space requirements in “Installation

Requirements” (page 6).

8. Click Install to begin the installation. The Setup Status dialog box shows the status of the

installation. When the InstallShield Wizard Complete dialog box appears, the installation

is complete.

9. Click Finish to exit the installation wizard. You can rerun the installation wizard at any

time to modify, repair, or remove clients and tools. See “Adding, Removing, or Repairing

Drivers and Tools By Using the setup.exe File” (page 12).

Configuring a “Silent” Installation

A silent installation is an installation that requires minimal user interaction. Silent installations

are useful when you need to install the client software on multiple workstations, and each

workstation can use the same installation settings.

First you create a special “answer file” that contains all of your responses to the InstallShield

dialog boxes. Once you have created the answer file, you can deploy it (along with the setup.exe

file) to any number of client workstations. On these other client workstations, you issue a

command from the command line to install the Windows client package using the answer file

settings.
