3.1 Overview

This section summarizes the role of each kit.

3.1.1 Available PC-DCE Kits

The PC-DCE product CD includes:

• Application Developer's Kit (ADK)

  If you intend to create your own DCE applications, you should install the PC-DCE Application Developer's Kit which includes the libraries, utilities, and header files that you need to create DCE applications to run on the Windows platform.

• Client Runtime Kit (RTK)

  You should always install the PC-DCE Runtime Kit for running and testing your DCE applications. This kit includes the runtime libraries, message catalogs, the Greet and Grade Server sample programs, some basic administration tools such as dcecp, plus the facilities to configure any type of DCE Client.

• Cell Directory Services (CDS) Server Kit (includes the RTK)

  If you intend to configure your Windows NT system as a CDS Server, you must install the PC-DCE CDS Server Kit. Installing this server kit automatically installs the client runtime kit.

  The CDS server can be installed on all supported Windows platforms except Windows 98. If you insert the PC-DCE CD into a Windows 98 system, the option to install this server will not be available.

• Security Server Kit (includes the RTK)

  If you intend to configure your Windows NT system as a Security Server, you must install the PC-DCE Security Server Kit. Installing this server kit automatically installs the client runtime kit.

  The Security server can be installed on all supported Windows platforms except Windows 98. If you insert the PC-DCE CD into a Windows 98 system, the option to install this server will not be available.

  NOTE: To maintain the highest level of protection from unauthorized access to the cell servers, avoid configuring security, cell directory, audit, and password strength servers; and the global directory agents on Terminal Server systems. See 3.2.5 Installing Server Kits on Terminal Server.

When installing more than one kit, the sequence in which you install them is not important.

3.2 Installation Notes

This section contains miscellaneous notes about installation situations.

3.2.1 Dual Boot Installations

If you have installed Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 98 on your system, you can choose to reboot the system under any platform. If you intend to develop and test PC-DCE applications using all platforms on the same machine, you should install the PC-DCE kits for which you have purchased licenses in the following order:

1. Install each of your PC-DCE kits on the Windows 2000 platform first.

2. Install each of your PC-DCE kits on the Windows NT platform.

3. Install each of your PC-DCE kits on the Windows 98 platform.

PC-DCE requires an electronic license. If the product was shipped to you, the license was either included on a diskette or emailed to you. If you downloaded the product from the web, the license was emailed to you.

When you install PC-DCE for the first time, the installation program asks you for the location of the license.

If you download an evaluation copy, you are emailed an evaluation license that expires in 30 days. When you purchase the product, you will be emailed a permanent license. On the PC-DCE configuration panel, there is a License button. Press this button to install a permanent license.

3.2.3 Dependent Services

If you try to install PC-DCE over an existing installation, and services dependent on PC-DCE are running, the installation program displays an alert listing the dependent services and then exits. The reason for this approach is that certain services, notably DFS, are difficult to stop programmatically.

3.2.4 Installing PC-DCE Over an Existing Application

When performing a re-installation of PC-DCE, Entegrity recommends that you re-install the software in the same directory as your original installation. If the Setup program detects an existing version of PC-DCE, it overwrites the installation but preserves your existing configuration.

3.2.5 Installing Server Kits on Terminal Server

NOTE: To maintain the highest level of protection from unauthorized access to the cell servers, avoid configuring security, cell directory, audit, and password strength servers; and the global directory agents on Terminal Server systems.

If you do want to install the Entegrity Terminal Server runtime; first install the Server kits on the Terminal Server machine, reboot, then install the runtime kit for Terminal Server. ( 3.5 Installing the Server Kitsthen 3.4 Installing the Client Runtime Kit) The PC-DCE for Terminal Server kit will overwrite the runtime that had been installed with the other servers.

3.3 Installing the Application Developer's Kit

1. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive. The setup program runs automatically; or, you can run setup.

2. Follow the prompts to complete the installation, keeping the following points in mind:
   • PC-DCE must be installed on a local drive.

   • If the installation process detects an existing PC-DCE installation, the Setup program does not prompt for an installation directory, but rather overwrites all files while preserving any configuration information.

   • If this is a first-time installation or a repeat installation that has made modifications to any shared PC-DCE files, you will need to reboot your computer for the modifications to take effect. In this case, the Restart Windows dialog is automatically displayed.

3. When you reach the Select Components screen, ensure that the Application Developer's Kit option is selected.

1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.

   For Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000:

   The setup program runs automatically; or, you can run setup.

   For Windows NT Terminal Server and Windows 2000 Terminal Server:

   a A Terminal Server Install Failure popup window appears instructing you to run Add/Remove from the Windows Control Panel. In the popup window, click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

   b In the Add/Remove Programs window, click Add New Programs.

   c Under Add a Program from CD-ROM or Floppy Disk, click the CD or Floppy button.

   d In the Install Program from Floppy Disk or CD-ROM window, click Next.

   e The Browser section displays the setup.exe file located on your product CD. Click Next. The Entegrity PC-DCE setup program begins.

2. Follow the prompts to complete the installation, keeping the following points in mind:
   • PC-DCE must be installed on a local drive.

   • If the installation process detects an existing PC-DCE installation, the Setup program does not prompt for an installation directory, but rather overwrites all files while preserving any configuration information.

   • If this is a first-time installation or a repeat installation that has made modifications to any shared PC-DCE files, you will need to reboot your computer for the modifications to take effect. In this case, the Restart Windows dialog is automatically displayed.

3. When you reach the Select Components screen, ensure that the Client Runtime Kit option is selected.

NOTE: To maintain the highest level of protection from unauthorized access to the cell servers, avoid configuring security, cell directory, audit, and password strength servers; and the global directory agents on Terminal Server systems. See 3.2.5 Installing Server Kits on Terminal Server

   • If you are installing the Security Server and want to apply SecurID integration, you must also set up Security Dynamics user accounts. See "Setting up SecurID Integration" in the PC-DCE Guide to CAS (Co-Authentication Service) for instructions on how to perform this procedure.

3. When you reach the Select Components screen, select from the following options (each server component requires a separate license):

   Client Runtime Kit	This is required to operate as part of a cell, or to run and test DCE applications. When you select either the CDS or Security Server Kits, this kit also is selected and will automatically install.
   Cell Directory Server	If you intend to create new DCE cells or configure a replica of a cell's primary CDS server, you must install the CDS Server component.
   Security Server	If you intend to create new DCE cells or configure a replica of a cell's primary Security server, you must install the DCE Security Server component.

PC-DCE provides an installation maintenance program that you can use to reinstall PC-DCE or remove PC-DCE components (Application Development Kit, Client Runtime Kit, Cell Directory Server, or Security Server). After the initial PC-DCE install, the Installation Maintenance program displays automatically when you run the PC-DCE setup program again.

3.6.1 Reinstalling PC-DCE

1. Insert the product CD into your CD-Rom drive.

   For Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000:

   The Installation Maintenance program displays.
