Setup
To install PowerStation, close all applications and insert the PowerStation CD into your CD-ROM
drive. Make sure that the PowerStation 4.0 is selected from the ETAPInstaller program and press
INSTALL
Another method for installing PowerStation without using the ETAPInstaller program is to click on the
Windows Toolbar Start button. Select Run; type: D:\SETUP.
2-3
Setup
PowerStation installation will begin with the self-configuration of the Windows Installer Service as
shown in the following Dialog Box
On Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows Me workstations, the InstallShield Wizard requires
a system reboot before the installation can continue. When prompted, press RESTART to reboot the
target computer.
The installation will then continue with this Welcome Dialog Box
2-4
Setup
2.2.2 MDAC
PowerStation may require the installation of Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5 Service Pack2
(MDAC 2.5 SP2) and Microsoft Data Access Components 2.6 Service Pack1 (MDAC 2.6 SP1). The
setup program may skip the installation of MDAC 2.5 SP2 and MDAC 2.6 SP1 if the components are
already installed on the computer or if the specific operating system does not require them.
2-5
Setup
The PowerStation 4.0 Setup program WILL NOT detect and process pre-released (Beta) versions of
PowerStation 4.0. These versions will have to be manually un-installed by using the Windows
Add/Remove Programs feature, before installing PowerStation 4.0.
By default, Setup marks previous installations of PowerStation for removal. You may de-select any
version of PowerStation you want to retain. Otherwise, the previous installations will be removed before
the actual PowerStation 4.0 installation begins. It is recommended to select the Remove option during
this part of the installation, to completely remove previous versions of the ETAP PowerStation program
from the target computer. Library files from PowerStation 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 will not be deleted.
2-6
Setup
The InstallShield setup program also displays hardware and software requirements as well as other
useful information. Click Next to continue with the installation.
2-7
Setup
Setup requests the name of a destination folder on your hard drive where you would like
PowerStation to be installed. The default destination folder is C:\ETAP 400\PowerStation. To
install the program in a different location, click on the Browse button and select or type a new
destination folder.
2-8
Setup
Typical
This is the standard (normal) installation of PowerStation. Select this option in most circumstances.
Compact
The Compact installation does not install the Library, Help, Documentation, and Example files. This
installation should be used only when very limited disk space is available.
Custom
This installation enables you to select the files you want to install onto your computer. For example, this
installation can be used to install only the ETAP License Manager 5.2.3 to your License Manager
Server. For details, see the ETAP License Manager section.
The installation program adds a PowerStation 4.0 shortcut to the Program Folder. By default, the
Setup program will create a Program Folder PowerStation 4.0, which could be renamed by the user.
2-9
Setup
2-10
Setup
The installation program renames the existing PowerStation library to OldETAP4.lib before installing
the new library etaplib4.lib. If an OldETAP4.lib already exists on the target computer, the installation
program directs you to make a backup copy of the old file or move the old file into a different subfolder.
Otherwise, the installation program will overwrite the current OldETAP4.lib by renaming the existing
etaplib4.lib to OldETAP4.lib.
PVCombo.OCX
PVDateEdit.OCX
PVDT40.OCX
PVDT80.OCX
PVList.OCX
PVMask.OCX
PVNum.OCX
PVTimeOCX
The ActiveX components are copied into folder PVDT40 under the installation location.
2-11
Setup
Upon completion, you need to restart your computer by selecting Yes, I want to restart my computer now
and then selecting Finish.
After System reboot, the PowerStation Setup program automatically prepares configuration
information for the Maintenance mode.
2-12
Setup
Configuring ODBC
Select ODBC Data Source (or ODBC 32-bit Administrator) from the Control Panel.
There are four fields to complete. These are the Data Source Name, Server, Language Name, and
Generate Stored Procedure for Prepared Statement fields. All other fields may use the default values
supplied by ODBC.
2-13
Setup
Running PowerStation
The first time PowerStation is run, it requires you to type the CD-Key code (in XXX-XXX-XXX format)
that comes with your PowerStation CD (PowerStation version 4.0. and higher).
2-14
Setup
PowerStation Licensing
The two types of hardware keys look similar; however, the Network Hardware Key will have a small
sticker that says Network on it.

Setup
2-16
Setup
Another way to install the ETAP License Manager without the ETAPInstaller Program is to select
RUN from the START Menu, then Select Setup.exe in the folder LMSETUP on your PowerStation
CD.
Select OK; the ETAP License Manager installation procedure will begin.
PowerStation 4.0 CD includes two versions of the ETAP License Manager. Both versions are identical
with respect to functionality. The default ETAP License Manager utilizes the Windows NT/2000/XP
Named Pipes protocol commonly used in Microsoft network while the other ETAP License Manager
uses TCP/IP. Utilize the TCP/IP protocol if your network is Novell or if you do not use Named Pipes
services.
2-17
Setup
The ETAP License Manager 5.2.3 Setup program lets you select which License Manager you want to
install. However, it will copy both License Managers to Windows System folders in case you need to
change to the other License Manager later.
In order for the ETAP License Manager to work properly, Setup requires a system restart at the end of
the installation procedure.
Note that the ETAP License Manager setup program requires Windows NT/2000/XP to run. It does
NOT run on Windows 98/Me.
2-18
Setup

Setup
Run PowerStation once. The program will issue the following message:
2-20
Setup
2-21
Setup
Select the first ETAP License Manager event. Double-click on the event to view the event detail
dialog. The message references error: 0. The error reference is not important. However, the message
following the error reference - ETAPS License Manager starting.... is important. The description
will read something like this:
The description for Event ID (0) in Source (Etaps LMService) could not be found. It contains the
following insertion string(s):
Etaps LMService error: 0, ETAPS License Manager starting
Close the event detail dialog and double-click the next ETAPS LMService message. You should see
a message indicating: ETAPSLM has detected a valid ETAP PowerStation security key.
Close the event detail dialog again and double-click the third ETAPS LMService message. You
should see a message indication similar to:
Key SN: 3087007744-345610626 Licensed to: Operation Technology, Inc. Version: 020000 Users: 5.
(Of course, your serial number, the licensee, version, and number of users will be specific to your
Network Hardware Key.)
You have now verified your ETAP License Manager is correctly installed and running properly. The
latest issue of ETAP License Manager is version 5.2.3.102601 and is intended to work with
PowerStation Rel 1.4.0 (Build 052197) or later (including PowerStation 2.0 and 3.0). PowerStation 4.0
and later requires version 5.2.3.102601. You can check your version of the ETAP License Manager by
viewing Properties in the file WINNT/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETAPSLM.EXE. File version is displayed
at the top of the Version sheet. The build is listed under Item Name: Special Build Description.

This is the default setting in the maintenance installation of PowerStation. Select this option to install
additional components or change the components you have selected in the previous installation.
Repair
The Repair installation re-installs the selected components of the previous installation. Both Repair
and Modify options will require that the PowerStation CD-ROM be inserted during the maintenance
installation.

when asked whether you want to remove PowerStation 4.0 completely.
2-24
Setup
Note that during the uninstall process you may be asked to remove the files installed as shared
files. Generally, it is recommended NOT to remove those files so possible disruption of other
applications is avoided.
