2 Installation This chapter provides instructions for installing the HDVR Integration software on a C CURE 9000 server or client system. In this chapter Installation Overview... 2-2 Installing the HDVR Integration Interface... 2-4 Uninstalling the HDVR Integration Interface... 2-10 C CURE9000-HDVR Integration User Guide 2 1
Installation Overview Installation Overview Before installing the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration software, you must first install C CURE 9000 software on your target computer. For information on installing C CURE 9000, see the C CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide. Similar to the C CURE 9000 system, HDVR Integration has Client and Server components. You must install the client components on every computer that runs C CURE 9000 client applications, and you must install the Server components on the C CURE 9000 server computer. HDVR integration has the same hardware and disk space requirements as C CURE 9000; for software requrement, a 32-bit system is required for HDVR Integration. Table 2-1 on page 2-2 lists the steps to install and register the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration on each computer in your C CURE 9000 system. Perform these steps in order. Table 2-1: Standard Installation Tasks Task See... 1. Install C CURE 9000. C CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide 2. Close any open applications and disable virus checking software. 3. Perform the pre-installation steps. Before You Begin on page 2-2 Note: Stop the Crossfire servers if C CURE 9000 is already installed. 4. Start the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration installation program. 5. Verify the license for the HDVR software by running the License program on your C CURE 9000 server. Installing the HDVR Integration Interface on page 2-4 C CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide 6. When the Installation and registration are complete, restart the services. Before You Begin You may need to perform some pre-installation steps before you install the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration. 2 2 C CURE9000-HDVR Integration User Guide
Installation Overview Checking Networks Status If you are installing C CURE 9000 on a corporate network, be sure to coordinate with your corporate network administrator. Check that the network is working properly. Checking System Privileges To perform the installation, you must have appropriate Windows permissions. You must be in the local Administrators group, or have equivalent privileges. See the Microsoft Operating System documentation or your system administrator for more information. If you do not have sufficient permissions, the error message shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3 Figure 2-1: Privileges Error Message Database Installation If you are installing server components of the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration, the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration will add some tables to the C CURE 9000 database. Currently, the C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration does not support installation with C CURE 9000 on an Oracle Database. Therefore, you must install on a C CURE 9000 system that is using SQL Server. The C CURE 9000 HDVR Integration install program automatically finds the C CURE 9000 database and adds tables and initial data to it. C CURE9000-HDVR Integration User Guide 2 3
