AcuServer is shipped on CD-ROM. The file "READ_ME.srv" describes the contents of the media.
To install AcuServer on a Windows NT (Intel) server:
1. Install and configure TCP/IP before installing AcuServer.
2. Log onto the server using the Administrator account or an account that belongs to the Administrators group.
NOTE: If you are using an earlier release of AcuServer and the acuserve daemon and Portmap services are presently running, you have the choice of installing the new release while AcuServer is running, or you can stop AcuServer and install the new release. If you install the new release while AcuServer is running, you must reboot the machine before the new version of the software will take effect.
3. Insert the ACUCOBOL-GT Development Suite CD-ROM into your disk drive. If the installation program does not start automatically, click the Start button, select Run, and enter:
D:\setup.exe
replacing "D" with the device designation of your CD-ROM drive. Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. The setup program (at your option) creates a sample Start Menu folder and then installs and starts the Windows NT services needed to run AcuServer.
The Start Menu folder contains icons that can run the various programs needed for AcuServer, along with icons to display the release notes and the AcuServer configuration file.
If you choose to start AcuServer during the installation process, a DOS window is displayed showing the status of the Windows NT services being started or restarted automatically. You may see some error messages if the Windows NT services are not already installed and running; these can be ignored.
There is nothing on the AcuServer distribution media to install on the client machines. To install the ACUCOBOL-85 or ACUCOBOL-GT runtime on the client, see your runtime documentation. Then proceed to the next section, System Configuration.
