As soon as you run setup.exe a big blue window will cover your entire monitor,
thereby preventing you from reading these instructions.
By the time you get to Step 3 you should be able to drag the big blue window
off to one side.
Since this procedure is pretty simple you might want to read these instructions
first, then perform all the steps in a group.
Just remember to skip MDAC installation.

Although we won't need MDAC to complete
our demonstration, if we were going to access a database through
one of the ConnectorViews, we would need it. In this course our
ConnectorViews are static since we're just going to import some
sample data as if it had come from a "live" ConnectorView.

Step 1. Run setup.exe.
|
To start the installation, double click on setup.exe in the temporary folder
where you downloaded the Meta-Directory zip file.
|
Step 2: Skip the MDAC installation
The installation script will ask you if you want to install the Microsoft
Data Access Component (MDAC).
In real-world environments you probably would install this, but we don't need
this software for our demonstration, so we can skip this step.
Click OK then No to skip MDAC installation and continue with
Meta-Directory JoinEngine installation.
Step 3: Agree to the license statement
Step 4: Choose the installation location
Click on the Browse button and enter the correct drive designator.
Override the default drive designation and substitute the drive where you
installed Directory Server 4.1. In this example, the Directory Server
was installed on drive D in the \Netscape\Server4
folder, so we're going to install the Management Center in D:\Netscape\MetaDir .
Step 5: Specify the Management Center password
We suggest using netscape.
Step 6: Start copying files
Click Next to continue.
You'll see a progress indicator like the one shown here:

When you reboot your computer you will loose your
connection to the Alliance Learning web server.
You will have to restart your browser to continue
taking this course.

|
Step 7: Restart your computer
After the installation finishes, it will ask you if you want to restart your computer.
Answer Yes, I want to restart my computer.
After your computer reboots, restart your web browser and continue
with the JoinEngine Installation section.
Summary
In this section we installed the Management Center.
The only significant configuration information we specified was the administrative
password "netscape".
In the next section we'll install
MetaView's JoinEngine.
