InstallAnywhere Software Installer Issues

From D5R21 GA version onwards, we have deployed new version of InstallAnywhere Software. Following are known issues and workarounds.

Important Notes:

KeyFiles Directory

When the Product/License is installed, it will create a <PRODUCT>KeyFiles Directory under the installation directory. This directory has important key files (0 size) that are used by the Uninstaller. DO NOT remove/modify these files and/or this directory.

Uninstall Program Location

The uninstaller for the Product/License is located under <Installation Directory>/Uninstall<PRODUCT><VERSION> directory. Execute Uninstall<PRODUCT> program in this location to uninstall Product/License.

Issues and Workarounds

Product/License Uninstall

Issue
Complete Uninstall may not remove the installation directory completely.
Workaround
Remove the installation directory and contents using OS commands.
Issue
Feature Uninstall displays message “Unable to Remove <PRODUCT>KeyFiles Directory”.
Workaround
None. It will be removed with Complete Uninstall. Ignore this message.

Online Documentation Access

Issue
If you install VMAP Online Documentation under a directory other than the <Product Installation Directory>\vmap directory, VMAP Online Documentation will not be accessible from Product.
Workaround
Edit the Product batch scripts and locate the line which defines DENEB_DOC_VIEWER variable. Modify the line to substitute %DENEB_PROD_DIR%\docs and specify full path to <Documentation Installation Directory>\docs directory and restart product.
Issue
Documentation Viewer does not start because default viewer may not be available at the path specified in Product shell/batch scripts.
Workaround
Edit the Product batch scripts and locate the line which defines DENEB_DOC_VIEWER variable. Modify the line to substitute %VIEWER_LOC%\<viewer.exe> and specify full path to any installed web browser executable, and restart product.

Licensing Information

All DELMIA software is "protected" or "locked" and cannot be run on a computer until the licensing has been enabled and a special data file called the license.dat file is set up. This file contains encrypted information, which is used by DELMIA software products to determine which software programs are allowed to run on the computer and which options are available for that program.

The license version of all DELMIA D5 products has been upgraded to 521. DELMIA D5R21 products cannot be executed with older license files. Customers upgrading to DELMIA D5R21 version must request a new license from the DELMIA licensing department. See the appropriate Installation Manual for details on completing this.

The Flexnet Publisher version used in this release is 11.6.1

License File

Licensing keys are based on the i4target.exe result.  This executable is supplied by your salesperson.

Feature Line for Target ID

The license file for a Target ID contains a line that looks similar to the one shown. The <product name> will specify which DELMIA product is licensed for the workstation.

FEATURE <product name>:6048 deneb 517 15-dec-2006 0 ABCE4B44A8DD466EDFE6 VENDOR_STRING=256 HOSTID=TID=1BD3F7C ck=125

This line specifies which DELMIA product will be allowed to run on the computer and which options will be available for that product. A file named license.dat will be emailed to your point of contact via DELMIA's licensing department. If this is an upgrade or there are other DELMIA products on the computer, the license.dat file will already exist and the file must be updated.

ID Number – Target ID

The target ID of a computer can be obtained from CATIA Nodelock Key Management software in V5. Users can also download the LUM software appropriate for their operating system from the following website:

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/lum/component.html  

The LUM software can be used as shown:

i4target.exe –h displays help on usage

i4target.exe –O outputs a target ID in the following format:

VMAP or QUEST New Installation - Node-Locked License

  1. Login as Administrator.

  2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. Setup should automatically launch. If it does not, select the Start button and click Run. Enter the following: D:\multi\setupwin.exe

  3. Choose a product installation and follow the instructions that are shown on the screen.

    NOTE: Wherever the term <product>.bat is used, the appropriate product name as shown below should be applied:

    IGRIP igrip.bat
    ENVISION envision.bat
    UltraArc uarc.bat
    UltraGRIP ugrip.bat
    UltraPaint upaint.bat
    UltraSpot uspot.bat
    INSPECT inspect.bat
    VNC vnc.bat

Create the license.dat File

Copy the license.dat file into the directory C:\deneb\license. If this directory does not exist, create it.

Designating the Online Docs Viewer

The online documentation is provided as html. This allows the files to be viewed by any web browser. Edit the <product>.bat file located in the vmap directory and change the documentation variables to point to and start the preferred viewer. See above, also.

The following two lines show the default settings used in the <product>.bat file that is shipped on the DELMIA CD. This will start Netscape Communicator.

set VIEWER_LOC=C:\Progr~1\Netscape\Commun~1\Program\

set DENEB_DOC_VIEWER=%VIEWER_LOC%Netscape.exe
%DENEB_PROD_DIR%\docs\%DENEB_PRODUCT%_HOME\HOMEPAGE.html

The next two lines are an example of how to edit the <product>.bat file to run an installed version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

set VIEWER_LOC=C:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\

set DENEB_DOC_VIEWER=%VIEWER_LOC%iexplore.exe
%DENEB_PROD_DIR%\docs\%DENEB_PRODUCT%_HOME\HOMEPAGE.html

Starting a DELMIA Product

  1. Select the Start button, point to All Programs and point to DELMIA (or double-click on the DELMIA icon installed on your desktop). Click on the licensed DELMIA software that you want to run.

  2. If any error messages are generated, please refer to Appendix A in the installation documentation for possible reasons and corrections.

Creating User Libraries

NOTE: Wherever the term <productlib> is used, the appropriate configuration library name as shown below should be applied:

IGRIP SYSlib
ENVISION SYSlib
UltraArc UARClib
UltraGRIP UGRIPlib
UltraPaint UPAINTlib
UltraSpot USPOTlib
INSPECT INSPECTlib
VNC VNClib

After installing the DELMIA product, user libraries should be created for storing projects. These project files should not be saved in <productlib> because this library is over-written with each subsequent product upgrade or version change. Please refer to the Configuration Files Guide, the Creating a Library and Config File section or see online HELP for SYS | FILE | MAKE LIB. At least one user library should be established.
