Installing Surfer
=================
Golden Software does not recommend installing Surfer 8 over any previous
version of Surfer (e.g., Surfer 7) or in the same directory as an older
version. Surfer 8 can co-exist with older versions as long as they are
in different directories.
Prior to installing Surfer 8, uninstall any previous versions of Surfer 8
using the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs menu. Select Surfer 8 from
the list under the Install/Uninstall tab. Click the Add/Remove button to
uninstall Surfer. Versions prior to Surfer 7 will not appear in the Add/Remove
Programs list.
To install Surfer 8 under Windows 2000 and XP, you need to have permissions
as a local Administrator for that machine.
Network Installation
====================
An administrative install may be performed in order to install files to a
network server. Once installed on the network server, individual workstation
installations can be performed. The server software must support long
filenames.
*** ATTENTION: You may use Surfer on a networked system provided that the
*** number of Surfer users on the network at one time does not exceed the
*** number of licensed copies of Surfer.
To install Surfer on the server:
1. Log on to the file server with administrator rights.
2. Click Start | Run.
3. Enter the path to Setup.exe followed by /a. For example,
r:\Setup.exe /a
4. When Setup asks for a destination folder, choose one on the file server
(e.g. C:\SurferServer). This should be a new empty directory. Setup copies
all the Surfer files plus the setup program and its associated files to the
server drive.
5. We recommend flagging the server folder contents as read-only.
NOTE: If you wish to run Surfer on a Windows server itself, you will need to
run setup again without the /a switch and install Surfer normally to a
new directory.
Next, install Surfer at each of the workstations:
1. Log on to the file server from each workstation that will run Surfer.
2. Start Windows and run the copy of Setup.exe located in the server folder.
DO NOT RUN SETUP FROM THE CD-ROM!
3. When the setup asks for a destination folder, choose one on the local hard
drive.
You will need to enter the Surfer serial number the first time Surfer is run
on each workstation.
Surfer must be installed directly at each workstation. It cannot be installed
from a remote computer over the network because the installation involves
editing the computer's registry. Certain parts of the registry cannot be
edited from a remote computer.
Installation Troubleshooting
============================
If you are experiencing errors with the installation, install Surfer and
create an installation log:
1. Go to Start | Run.
2. For a local installation, type
"[drive letter]:\[path]\setup.exe" /V"/L* [drive letter]:\[path]\S8.log"
For a network installation, type
"[drive letter]:\[path]\setup.exe" /a /V"/L* [drive letter]:\[path]\S8.log"
Replace the [drive letter] and [path] with a drive letter and path
on your computer. The path to the log file cannot contain spaces.
3. Click OK. After the installation process terminates, the log file is
created in the path you specify. Please send the log file to technical
support along with the installation message text.
Sample Files
============
Several sample files are included in the Samples directory. The samples
include interesting maps, data files, and some scripts that can be used
to automate Surfer.
