Installation Procedure

1) Start the Installation

You must accept the License Agreement before you can install the software .

Click Yes when you have read and accepted all terms of the License agreement.

• Administrator's client setup (create a response file to be used for unattended client setup).
• User setup (unattended client setup) to give workstation users access to the software and documentation installed on the server.
• Schedule automatic start of the License Dispatcher (not needed if you also have the License Dispatcher running on a UNIX system in your network).

3) Choose Destination Location

Choose a destination location where EasyCopy will be installed. This location will internally in EasyCopy be known through the environment variable %ECTOPDIR% which, for example, is used in the filter definitions.

When you have selected the desired location click Next to continue.

The installation program can create the icon in Window's Start menu   and on the desktop.

The default is both. Click Next to continue.

Installation on a Network Server

This topic describes how a System Administrator can install EasyCopy for Windows on a network server in order to distribute it to the users.

This type of installation requires that you have Multiple Node licenses for EasyCopy.

The installation procedure incorporates three steps:

1. Server setup. This step installs the software, online documentation, and client setup program on a network server.
   • Choose a Destination Location on a shared network drive (the default proposal is not necessarily a good choice for this setup type)
2. Administrator's client setup. This step creates a response file to be used for unattended client setup.
3. User setup (unattended client setup). This step gives a workstation user access to the software and documentation installed on the server.

If you want to have EasyCopy available for both Windows and UNIX clients in your network you must install the Windows version and the UNIX version independently. The only shared component between the two is the license dispatcher.

Administrator's Client Setup

In the Destination folder on the server where you installed EasyCopy there will be a subdirectory called ClientSetup. It contains a setup program that you can run either in recording mode (administrator) or in silent mode (client).

Use the following procedures to make a silent install:

1) Do an installation of easycopy in f.ex.

S:\easycopy

2) Run the client setup in record mode

S:\easycopy\clientsetup\setup -r -f1S:\easycopy\clientseup\install.iss

This starts a new Installation Wizard:

3)The Installation Wizard for EasyCopy Client will require that you accept the license conditions.

When you accept the license conditions again during Client Setup you do it on behalf of any user with access to the client workstations, whereas when you accepted the license conditions in the first place during the installation of the EasyCopy software on the server, you only committed yourself).
