Downloading the Installation Package
The client package installer is distributed as a ZIP file,
HP_Neoview_Windows_Client_Package_Vx.y.z_nnnnnn_nnn.zip.
Vx.y.z
Is the version assigned to the client product, such as V2.5.0. This number reflects
the version of the client product and might not be the same as the Neoview
release version. The client product version includes the major Neoview release
number, x.y, and the client update number, z.
The client update number is 0 the first time that the client product is issued for
a major Neoview release, such as Release 2.5. The update number then increases
by one for each update of the client product for the major Neoview release. For
example, V2.5.0 is the first release of the client product for Neoview Release
2.5, and V2.5.1 is the first client update for Neoview Release 2.5.
The client product version remains in sync with the major Neoview release,
such as Release 2.5, but only if the client product is changing (that is, has defect
repair or new features) for the release. If a client product is not changing, it
retains its current client product version.
Client products can be changed independently of a minor Neoview release,
such as R2.4 SP2 or R2.4.2. Each update of a client product increases the update
number of the client product version. Because the client update numbers increase
independently of minor Neoview releases, the client product versions are not
always in sync with the minor release versions. If the versions are in sync, it is
coincidental.
nnnnnn_nnn
Is the part number assigned to the client product (for example, 654321_001).
NOTE: The zip file is approximately 75 MB in size. Because of the file size, it can take up to an
hour 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 must 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 repair
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.
