How to install Exceed V6.1 on Windows Terminal Server
RESOLUTION **NOTE:
- This procedure applies when installing Exceed on a WTS that has the CITRIX METAFRAME Software installed.
- The installation of Exceed will require at least one Reboot of the WTS Machine in order to update the registry and install Exceed properly.
- Make sure that no users are connected to the WTS during the installation of Exceed and that no applications are running. It is recommended that the individual who is performing the installation of Exceed on the WTS Machine be logged in at the WTS Console as the Local Administrator. (As supposed to the Domain Administrator or as a User).
- At the Terminal Server click on add/remove programs from the Control Panel, click on the install button, on the following window click on next, browse to the directory or drive where the Exceed installation files are located and select Setup.exe.
- Once the installation wizard is up and running go to the select type of installation window, select Administrative click next and select custom.
- Choose the Path and directory where you would like to install Exceed or click next to select the default Path; Drive:\Program Files\Exceed.nt
- From the components list window Select the Exceed components you would like to install.
- From the font selection window make sure that 100dpi & 75dpi are selected along with any other fonts you may require, click next.
Some users may require either 100dpi or 75dpi fonts to display X applications depending on the resolution they choose to Display their WT Session.
If the user selects a resolution higher than 1024x768, the 100dpi font will be the best suited for that resolution, If the resolution is equal or lower than 1024x768 the 75dpi font would be the one to use.
- The next window is the Summary Information window that will tell you the following information:
Installation Type: which should be Administrative - Custom - Complete.
Shared Dir: the path you've specified or Exceed's default path for the Exceed directory.
Components: All the components you have selected.
Fonts: The fonts you have selected.
Disk Space required: Depends on the components and fonts you've selected.
Disk Space available: The space available on the Drive where Exceed is being installed.
Note: Make sure that you have enough disk space to install Exceed.Click on the Finish button to proceed with the installation.
- Once the setup program has finish installing and copying all the necessary files to the Exceed directory, open explorer, find the Exceed directory and edit the install.ini and install.ins files. The install.ins will be located within the userins directory.
On both files .ini & .ins under [setup] change the value of the bSysDllToSysDir=0 to 1 to enable it and also create the next two entries (still under [setup] ), UniqueDisplayForUsers=1 and UniqueDisplayReadOnly=1. Both files will end up looking like this...
[setup]
bSysDllToSysDir=1 ;copies HCL's dll files to System32
UniqueDisplayForUsers=1 ;Increments the Display # in the Xconfig > Communications
UniqueDisplayReadOnly=1 ;Makes the Display # read onlySave both files.
- Close all windows, go to the start button click on run and browse to the userins directory within Exceed.
Find the setup.exe and double click it, click on the OK button, this will run the setup program for the user installation.
- Once the wizard is up and running one of the questions it will ask you will be the location of the Home Directory, the path shown to you as default should be the path you specified in step 3 of this document.
The wizard will also ask you for the path of the user directory (where each individual's user files will be located ). The default path looks something like this... Drive:\Path\Exceed.nt\user
Change the name of the user directory to reflect the name of the individual that is running the userins setup, since the first userins setup you must run has to be as the local Administrator of the WTS, the name of the user directory could be.... Drive:\Path\Exceed.nt\Admin or Drive:\Profiles\Administrator's directory\Admin
The other choices a user will have to make when running the userins setup are entirely up to the user,
(Giving a password for Xconfig, Tuning the X server etc.)
- When the setup has finished installing the user files to the user directory it will ask you if you want to reboot the WTS machine, it is recommended that you say yes and reboot the WTS in order to install Exceed properly, (this will be the only time you are required to reboot the WTS). Once the machine reboots and you are presented with the logon window, log in again as the Administrator so that the setup program can finish updating your System's registry.
- At this point, you can run the userins setup for each user that wants to run Exceed from the WTS Machine. The user can do this by either logging as himself on the WTS Console or connecting from his/her PC with the WTS Client to the Server. Within the Terminal Server Session go to the Start button > Run > browse to the Exceed directory > find the userins directory > double click on setup.exe which will launch the installation program for the Exceed user files.
Note: At the end of any user installation the user will be prompted to answer yes/no to reboot the machine.
If the user that is running the userins setup is part of the administrator group and he answers yes to reboot he will cause the WTS machine to reboot, if the user does not have any administrator privileges the WTS will ignore the command. The only time you need to reboot is after the user installation for the Administrator.
Problems you may encounter when running a userins setup (installation of User Files)
The installation wizard will report the following error:
<The name of a File>: file open error! Please unload all applications.
The most common files that give you this error are; hrunonce.exe and Rshctrl.hlp both located in the System32\hummbird directory.
The only workaround for this is to Temporarily add the user that is running the userins setup tothe WTS Administrator group, once the setup is done remove the user from the Administrator group.
In some instances this problem has been solved by not selecting Exceed's components that attempt to write to the system32 directory.
The following Exceed components attempt to write to the system32\hummbird directory:
Inetd, Lpr, Jconfig, Jconfig Daemon, Xdis and Remote Tools.
Inetd and Lpr: at this time both components do not work properly from the WTS Client PC, they do however work properly at the WTS Console.
Here are the steps for installing Exceed version 6.1 on WTS:
