ICN OPC Server Guide
Installation
2.3 Instructions:
The following procedure explains how to install ICN OPC Server on your computer. Start
your Microsoft Windows operating system.
Windows 95 needs DCOM (Distributed COM) for running the ICN OPC Server. The
ICN OPC Server setup will detect if DCOM was already installed on your computer. If
DCOM was not present, it will install it.
This is an issue with only Windows 95. If DCOM was already present in your Windows
95 system and is of a lower version, ICN OPC Server setup will update it.
Note also that DCOM is also installed as part of Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher and some
other programs.
ICN OPC Server also requires a software component called the OPC Data Access
Components.
The above programs are installed by ICN OPC Server in the background during the Setup
and do not require any user inputs.
Close all applications that are running in your computer currently before starting the
ICN OPC Server setup. If a previous installation of the software exists, you will be
prompted to choose an option from the list: Modify, Repair and Remove.
2.3.1 ICN OPC Server Setup
1. Insert the ICN OPC Server CD into the CD-ROM drive.
In most computers where auto run is enabled, the setup will start automatically as soon as
you put the ICN OPC Server CD in the drive and close the drive. If auto run is not enabled
in your computer you will need to run it manually.
To run the setup manually, select Run from the Start Menu of Windows. The Run dialog
box will appear as shown below:
