11 Updating clients

For each client, insert the installation CD and double-click the file
setup.exe. Then select Repair/Update and click on [Next >]. Complete
the installation with [Finish].

NOTE

In order to facilitate the updating of many clients, the installation can
be copied from the CD to a writeable medium and the file
magic_init.ini can be modified. There, user-defined parameters
(license code, installation path, server name, etc.) for the installation
can be set in advance, which allows you to only have to click through
the installation.

An UpdateLog file with a list of all files that have been copied to the cli-
ent computer and with a confirmation for a successful installation is saved
in the MagIC Net client's installation folder (default: C:\Program Files
\Metrohm\MagIC Net) under bin\InstallLog.

manually in combination with a few devices. This is the case if the operating
system displays a message when connecting a device to the computer, e.g.
Device driver software was not installed. No driver found. The mes-
sage should also show the name of the corresponding device. Write down this
name and proceed as follows to install the driver manually:
