Steps for Installing Picture Publisher to Reside on a Network


Introduction

The Micrografx network setup program makes it convenient to set up or distribute Picture Publisher on a local area network. Once the software is copied or installed onto the file server, it can be installed or accessed quickly and easily by any number of users on the network, without returning to the original source diskettes.

Run the Micrografx Setup program (SETUPN.EXE) to perform a network installation.

In this type of installation, only one executable (ready to run) copy of the application is installed on the network server. This installation is typically done by the network administrator, who is responsible for configuring the application and making all decisions regarding the portion or portions of the application to install. The setup program copies all of the Picture Publisher files, as well as the setup program for nodes, on the network.

Users can access the network copy of the application after they execute the network version of the Micrografx Setup Program, which makes the necessary changes to the local INI files. Additionally, any files included with the application that need to be located in the WINDOWS directory or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory are copied to those directories on the user's system. All files installed with the program remain on the network. However, any new files created will be placed in a local working directory.

If the application software installed on the network is upgraded to a newer version, users running local copies of Windows must also perform the upgrade installation to ensure that all necessary files are updated.
