Minimum Workstation Requirements:

Network Installation
Before You Begin: The installation process will create a working program directory called SPAPPS on your network hard drive. Program files will be stored in this directory. (Example: F:\SPAPPS)

The SilverPlume CD contains the library files, so you must keep the CD in your network CD-ROM drive while using SilverPlume. Option: You may choose to free up the CD-ROM drive by copying the contents of the CD to your hard drive. For more information, read copying the SilverPlume CD. If you decide to copy the CD, you must do so before continuing.

Setup
Once you have hard mapped all workstations to both the CD ROM drive (or if downloading, the hard drive that contains the CD image) and the network hard drive where the program files are going to be stored. You can follow the subsequent steps at each workstation. Do not use Network Neighborhood to run the installation because UNC drive mappings are not appropriate for running the program.

1. Close all programs and disable virus scanning.
2. Log onto the workstation using an ID which has administrator/supervisor privileges.
3. Place the SilverPlume start-up floppy disk in the A:\ drive (this will only be necessary on the first workstation install).
4. From the Start menu, choose Run. Do not use Network Neighborhood to run the installation because UNC drive mappings are not appropriate for running the program.
5. Type the following command: N:\SPVIEW32\setup.exe where "N:\" is the CD-ROM drive or path to the CD image. Click OK.
6. Adobe Acrobat Reader (AAR) is required to display some documents. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on the computer, Setup will prompt you to install it.
7. Additionally, SPView 2.0 requires components of Microsoft Internet Explorer. If Setup does not find Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or higher, it must be installed by Setup. You will be prompted to confirm the IE 4 setup. If you decline, Setup will exit; SPView 2.0 requires IE 4 (or higher).
8. The setup program will begin and the Welcome screen appears. Click NEXT.
9. The Select Installation Type screen appears. Select Network from the list. Click NEXT.
10. If no prior SPVIEW installation is found, the Choose Destination Location screen appears. Make sure the path is A:\ where "A:\" is the path to your floppy diskette drive. Click NEXT.
11. The Choose Destination Location screen appears again. Make sure the path is F:\SPAPPS where "F:\SPAPPS" is the path to your program files. See your preparation notes. If the default location displayed is not correct, please modify it. Click NEXT.
12. The Enter Information screen appears. You are prompted for the user's first and last name. SilverPlume uses this information to create a directory to store the user's personal notes and preferences. All user names MUST be unique. Click NEXT. Note: Two names are required. Do not include middle initials, punctuation, or additional spaces.
13. The Confirm Settings screen appears confirming the current settings. Click NEXT.
14. A message box will appear indicating that program and system files are being copied, then indicates the installation is complete. AAR and IE will be installed if needed. Click OK.
15. A Question box appears. Click YES to have an icon placed on your desktop.
16. Another Question box appears. Click YES to view the readme file.
17. If prompted to reboot the workstation, please do so before using the new SPView 2.0 program.
18. In addition to the desktop icon, an SPView 2.0 icon is also created and placed inside a program group box called SPApps on the start programs list.

Additional Network Workstations
Before You Begin: Be sure the workstations have drive mappings to the location of the shared CD or CD image as well as the location where the program files are to be stored.

Setup

1. Confirm the workstation has drives mapped to both the CD-ROM drive (or if downloading, the hard drive that contains the CD image) and the network location for the stored program files.
2. Close all programs and disable virus scanning.
3. From the Start menu, choose Run. Do not use Network Neighborhood to run the installation because UNC drive mappings are not appropriate for running the program.
4. Type the following command: N:\SPVIEW32\SETUP.EXE where "N" is the CD-ROM drive or path to the CD image. Click OK.
5. Adobe Acrobat Reader (AAR) is required to display some documents. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on the computer, Setup will prompt you to install it.
6. Additionally, SPVIEW 2.0 requires components of Microsoft Internet Explorer. If Setup does not find Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or higher, it must be installed by Setup. You will be prompted to confirm the IE 4 setup. If you decline, Setup will exit; SPView 2.0 requires IE 4 (or higher).
7. The setup program will begin and the Welcome screen appears. Click NEXT.
8. The Select Installation Type screen appears. Select Additional Workstation from the list. Click NEXT.
9. The Choose Destination Location screen appears again. Make sure the path is F:\SPAPPS where "F:\SPAPPS" is the path to your program files. See your preparation notes. If the default location displayed is not correct, please modify it. Click NEXT.
10. The Enter Information screen appears. You are prompted for the user's first and last name, separated by a space. SilverPlume uses this information to create a directory to store the user's personal notes and preferences. All user names MUST be unique. Click NEXT.

    Note: Two names are required. Do not include middle initials, punctuation, or additional spaces.

11. The Confirm Settings screen appears confirming the current settings. Click NEXT .
12. A message box will appear indicating that program and system files are being copied, then indicates the installation is complete. AAR and IE will be installed if needed. Click OK.
13. A Question box appears. Click YES to have an icon placed on your desktop.
14. Another Question box appears. Click YES to view the readme file.
15. If prompted to reboot the workstation, please do so before using the new SPView 2.0 program.
16. In addition to the desktop icon, an SPView 2.0 icon is also created and placed inside a program group box called SPApps on the start programs list.

If you have copied the CD to your local or network hard drive follow these steps for the monthly update.

1. Select the drive where you previously copied the CD (Example F:\SPDATA ).
2. Delete the entire contents of the SPDATA directory (all users must have the software shut down until the update process is complete).
3. Copy the entire contents of the latest SilverPlume CD to the SPDATA directory.

Standalone Installation
Before You Begin: The installation process will create a working program directory called SPAPPS on your hard drive in which to store the program files. (Example: C:\SPAPPS)

The SilverPlume CD contains the library files, so you must keep the CD in your CD-ROM drive while using SilverPlume. Option: You may choose to free up the CD-ROM drive by copying the contents of the CD to your hard drive. For more information, read copying the SilverPlume CD. If you decide to copy the CD, you must do so before continuing.

Copying the SilverPlume CD
Note: We recommend allocating 700 MB of hard drive space to allow for growth in the SilverPlume Library.

1. Select the drive where you will copy the contents of the CD.
2. Prepare a place to copy the contents by creating a directory named SPDATA at the root of this drive. (Example N:\SPDATA )
3. Copy the entire contents of the SilverPlume CD to the SPDATA directory.
