Maple V 5.0 Install Notes

Reference Web Links

• Maplesoft Web Site

Observations

• Installed Maple 5.1 using exact same procedure --- (MMK 7/29/99)
• ATI Rage 128 video cards do not display graphs (windows NT) when in 16 or 32 bit color mode
• 8-bit color mode works properly
• Informed Waterloo about this, waiting for resolution.

Initial Test Install Notes

• Network version. CD only allows network install option
• Appears to not do much of anything at all on client station (set some registry entries, add an uninstall.icu file)
• Runs from network server using UNC. Must install to accessible share
• Requires authorization code. Filled out form on maplesoft web site requesting copy.

Install Steps

1. Run setup, install to server path on a share users can access.
2. Create a virgin test station for sysdiff purposes
3. logon as adminstrator and open a command window
4. map a network drive to same drive letter used during user logons
   (example: net use g: \\apache\nt /user:yourusername)
5. Open an explorer window and browse to %systemroot%\profiles\all users\start menu\Programs
   (to prepare for creating an icon to program later)
6. mkdir \sysdiff
7. cd \sysdiff
8. sysdiff /snap snapshot
9. cd to network distribution point (in the .\client directory of maple)
10. run setup.exe, answer prompts with defaults
    (For some reason, it runs for a few minutes with no visual feedback and appears to be hung but isn't)
11. Create a shortcut to wmaple in bin.wnt directory on server
12. sysdiff /diff /c:"Maple V release 5" snapshot maple.sd
13. run wmaple out of bin.wnt directory and enter license data. Quit
14. copy mapleV.sd to unattend/sysdiff directory
15. Go to server, set maple/license directory to 1777 perms
16. Log out, log in as normal user
17. Run Maple. Quit Maple
18. Go to server, chmod logfile.lic to 666
19. Done! :)
