Extended Modbus OPC Server
Installation
2.3 Instructions:
The following procedure explains how to install Extended Modbus OPC Server on your
computer. Start your Microsoft Windows operating system.
Windows 95 needs DCOM (Distributed COM) for running the XModbus OPC Server.
The Extended Modbus 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, Extended Modbus 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.
Extended Modbus OPC Server also requires a software component called the OPC Data
Access Components.
The above programs are installed by Extended Modbus 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
Extended Modbus 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 Extended Modbus OPC Server Setup

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
