Installation Installing the Software InduSoft Web Studio provides development tools for all IWS projects, and it can be installed on a PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating system. For more information, see System Requirements . You can install the development application either from the web download or from the InduSoft Web Studio installation CD. For projects running on Windows Embedded target systems, you can use the development application to download CEView (the runtime engine) to the target system via serial or TCP/ IP link.
The IWS installation program creates directories as needed, copies files to your hard drive, and creates the InduSoft Web Studio icon on your Windows desktop. Note: • You must have Administrator privileges on your PC in order to install or uninstall the development application. • You must uninstall an older version of the development application (or move it to a different directory) before installing a new version. Also, you cannot install the same version of the development application in two different paths on the same PC. The instructions for installing InduSoft Web Studio and CEView are provided inthe following two sections.
Installing the Development Application on Your Windows PC To install the IWS development application from the installation CD: 1. Turn on your PC and be sure that no other programs are running. 2. Insert the installation CD into your PC's CD-ROM drive. Internet Explorer should run automatically and show the CD's welcome screen. If it does not — for example, if you have the Autorun feature turned off in your Windows settings — then you can manually show the screen by using Windows Explorer to locate and open the file D:\InduSoft.htm . 3. In the welcome screen, select the product that you want to install. Internet Explorer will ask if you want to run or save the installer. 4. Click Run .
The product's installation wizard will begin. 5. Follow the wizard's instructions to proceed with the installation. 6. When the installation is finished, select Yes, I want to restart my computer now and then click OK . After your PC has restarted, you can run the development application. See Starting the Software for instructions. Note: When you install the development application, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and some other utilities are also installed to support the features of IWS. Your PC may have later versions of the .NET Framework already installed, but there is no reason for concern because multiple versions of the .NET Framework should not conflict with each other.
You can see which versions are installed on your PC by opening the Add or Remove Programs control panel ( Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs ). For more information about Microsoft .NET Framework, see Database Appendix A: Using ODBC Databases . Installing CEView on Your Windows Embedded Device CEView is the runtime engine for IWS projects on Windows Embedded devices. CEView must be installed on your device before you send your project to it. Where the Files Are Located InduSoft Web Studio Page 29
