In line with my last post on SP upgrade on Unix machines, here’s a
bit on the special configuration that comes with SP24. Its only needed
if you have Vista or Win7 client machines. A few changes have been made
to the files being placed under the C: and C:\Windows directories. Since
both vista and win 7 restrict programs from accessing these DIR hence
JDE has developed symbolic links. Now these Symbolic links are created
by the new E1InstallService which needs to be configured on the Dep
Server. After building the full package post-SP-upgrade, just before you
are about to install a Vista 0r a Win 7 client follow the following
steps to enable this service:
1. In the Install.inf on the Dep Server add the following line: OracleE1InstallService={DEP_SERVER_PATH}\E1ServiceInstallation,Setup.exe,/s
2. Create a OracleE1InstallService_silent_setup.inf under E1InstallService folder with the following lines
[SILENT SETUP]
WorkstationDirPath = [your path under c:\Programfiles]
InstallPath=c:\
LaunchPath= {DEP_SERVER_PATH}\OWCinstall\setup.exe
AutoStart = 1
3. Add your user groups under the [E1GlobalGroup] section of the install.inf. Not doing so will result in a dialog box being thrown to alleviate user privs when the user tries to log in a win7 fat client.
4. Now you are all set to install a fat client on a vista or a win 7 client with sp 24.
Foot Note: To check the current version of the Service pack running on your system, go to System\bin32 dir on the deployment server find jdekrnl.dll , right click on it , go to properties and check File Version under the Properties tab.
