Pre-Requisites

All staff must be logged out of Goldmine before any new install or upgrade can take place, as the data is in a shared directory.

Disable the use of goldmine from console one by removing associations to the application object, make a note of the users first!!

Obtain the application CD from Nigel Hurley or the software can also be found on the goldmine website.

Snapshot of Goldmine

Run Zenworks Snapshot.

Make sure you give the application object a suitable name e.g. MLE - GOLDMINE Vxx.

INSTALLATION DIRECTORY:

C:\Goldminexx\

When creating the snapshot, there are certain components that need to be on the workstation.

For this installation I have included the extra components in the snapshot as they are not on the workstations by default.

External Components

1) .NET framework 1.1

2) .NET framework 1.1SP1

3) Optional .NET framework 2.0

Components included with Goldmine (installed from the Utillities > config menu)

1) Software Solutions .NET components

2) MSXML Parser

3) Rich Text Editor

4) Office Web Components

Also:

The paths for various external databases (LAD etc) need to be setup.

--- Finish the snapshot, and then import the application into the NDS tree using console one.

Next you will need to configure the objects properties.

Application Object extra's

Pre-Launch Script - configured from the application object itself

.bat format for the script interpreter.

Script should be writen as follows:

CD C:\Program Files\Goldmine

Regsvr32 calculate01.dll

Regsvr32 calculate02.dll

Regsvr32 calculate03.dll

Regsvr32 calculate04.dll

Regsvr32 calculate05.dll

Once this has been created and saved, re-associate the application object (in ConsoleOne) back to yourself and test the new snapshot.
