Installation

3.3.3 Windows NT

Installation of the full-feature or partial version (RT version) under Windows NT is performed using the setup command, the installation tool is included in the GINA package on the delivery CD.

1.Log in as administrator.

2.Create a new directory for GINA.

3.Insert the GINA delivery CD in the CD drive and start the graphical installation interface using the command

<drive>:\setup

The dialog box which is displayed queries the path of the installation directory and the components to be installed.

The GINA package is then installed, the directory structure created and the structure filled with the files.

If, during installation, you selected GINA packages containing the services DomsEventHandler and DomsDynConnectHandler, they will be automatically activated the next time the system starts (under WindowsNT only).

Further information on this can be found in the Developer Manual [13] in the section entitled

Compiling and linking, Special features under Windows NT.❍ ❍ ●

If you intend to run GINA on a machine without a network link, you must set the

LM_NO_NETWORK environment variable in order to avoid the wait times resulting from futile

attempts to access a license server.

❍ ❍ ●

Special points in relation to the operation of the GINA PS browser

Before the GINA PS browser is called (on UNIX platforms), the directory in which the GINA phases were installed must be included in the PATH environment variable.

Example for csh

sentenev PATH <gina_install_dir>/:$PATH

Furthermore, the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Solaris, SINIX) or SHLIB_PATH (for HP-UX) must contain the file in which the GINA library is located.
