Appendix A Ultraware Software Updates
Installation Notes • When installing Ultraware or on a machine that has a current version of
the software already installed a dialog will ask to upgrade the current
version. This is the same as removing the old version and installing the new
version.
• If you have custom motors defined in your previously installed motor
database, they will be transferred to the new motor database. If an error
occurs during the transfer, you can manually transfer them to your new
database using these technique. Your old motor database will have been
copied to a database called MotorBackup1.mdb. Use the Export function
in the motor configuration Utility to retrieve your custom motors from the
back-up database and import them into your new motor database,
motors.mdb. Make sure you transfer them before running the installation a
second time, or your back-up copy will be overwritten.
• Computers running Windows NT 4 operating system with Service Pack 5
(SP5) might receive errors during install concerning registration of DLL
and OCX files (for example, COMCAT.DLL). This is due to an
incompatibility with the COMCAT.DLL version 5.0 with other system
DLL files. The solution to this problem is to replace COMCAT.DLL
version 5.0 with COMCAT.DLL version 4.71. This requires the un-
registration and deletion of COMCAT.DLL version 5.0 and the copying
and registration of COMCAT.dll version 4.71. The batch file Comfix.bat
in the Util directory of the distribution CD completes this operation. Run
the batch file from its location on the CD and then run the install program
again.
