If you are installing Comet in a network environment you must install your server first. Once the server is setup and all the workstations connect to the server you install Comet on the workstations.
CometServerProducts.exe
The InstallShield Wizard™ will guide you through the steps required to install the files necessary for a Comet File and/or Security Server. You will be asked to "Browse" to the folder where you want CometServerProducts.exe to install the files. Then you can choose to setup the server as a Security Server and/or a File Server. When installing a Security Server, you need to select either a USB or parallel security dongle. The files installed in the selected folder are:
File Server executables: CfileServe.exe and CFAMNetServe.exe Security Server executable: CSecSrv.exe USB dongle setup and diagnostic utilities: CbSetup.exe and CbUSB.exe Parallel dongle installation files: CometKMD.inf and CometKMD.sys Service installation files and executable: CometNTService.ini, CometNTService.log, and CometNTService.exe InstallShieldTM components: InstallHelper.dll and Uninst.isu ServerInstall.exe - a separate installation utility replacing CSAdmin.exe. Note: You should not need to run this for Comet 2004 users. CometServerProducts.exe will install everything you need.
CometServerProducts.exe also installs in your Windows System folder and registers the Dlls required for your security dongle and other dlls required for the server programs to run. The DLLs are provided by Microsoft: mfc42.dll, mfc70.dll, msvcirt.dll, msvcp70.dll, msvcr70.dll, and msvcrt.dll.
You will be instructed to reboot your computer when installation is complete.
CometWorkstation.exe
This InstallShield Wizard™ guides you through the steps required to install and register the files necessary for a Comet workstation. You will be asked to choose from two installation types:
- Run Comet from program files that will be installed on this computer.
- Run Comet from program files that were previously installed on another computer on your network.
You will be given the option of having a shortcut to Comet created on your desktop. If you select this option you will be asked to "Browse" to the folder containing your Comet configuration file (.CFG) so the "/PN=" argument can be included in your shortcut.
You will also be asked to "Browse" to the folder where you want CometWorkstation.exe to install the files. The files installed in the selected folder are:
Startup executable: Comet.exe Comet kernel executables: CosC.exe, CosH.exe, CosP.exe, and CosW.exe File System executables: Cfam.exe and CfileSrv.exe Comet debugger: CosD.exe Comet Anywhere Update program: CAUPD.exe Fax driver: FaxDriver.exe ODBC driver: ODBCdrv.exe Dynamic Link Libraries: CosHipc.dll, DIBAPI32.dll, ODBCd.dll, and UniDrv.dll Data Definition Language files: Crt.ddl, System.ddl, and WinPrint.ddl
The program also installs the following files into the workstatoin's Windows System folder and registers other dlls required for Comet to run: Comet dlls: CometPV.dll, CometLib.dll, and CapiServ.dll Microsoft dlls: mfc42.dll, mfc70.dll, msvcirt.dll, msvcp60.dll, msvcp70.dll, msvcr70.dll, msvcrt.dll, and msvbvm60.dll
You will be instructed to reboot the workstation when the installation is complete.
