Lynx Information Systems Ltd Exploration Archivist Release 3 Base Software Package V3.5 Base Program executables and documentation This installation will install the system files necessary to run Lynx software, and configure your PC to run Lynx software. ---------------------------------------------- LEASETUP contains threee installation options: 1. Standalone Installation. Select this to install and run Lynx software on a single PC. The default installation folder for new installs is C:\Program Lynxsys3. The default data directory (used as the default location for data files, and customised configuration files) is C:\ProgramData\LynxData - this folder will be copied into each user's profile when a user runs a Lynx application for the first time. After running LEASETUP, run the other installations (in any order). Lynx programs can be run by clicking the Lynx Launcher icon on your desktop or in the Start menu. Help files can be accessed through the Help menu of the Launcher (or from C:\Program Files\Lynxsys3\docs\index.htm) Some Lynx programs may require a licence file or hardware key (dongle) in order to run. If you have a dongle it should be plugged into a USB port of the PC before starting any Lynx program. Programs that require a licence file will display an 8-digit number derived from the PC hardware, which you must send to us (see addresses below), and we will send you a licence file to activate the program(s). 2. Network Server Installation Select this to install Lynx software on a central file server. The installation directory should be accessible to clients on the network. You will be prompted to enter a "local data" directory - this directory will be created on each client PC to contain default data files and temporary files - this defaults to C:\LynxData. Network installations usually use floating network licences. Contact Lynx or read Lynxsys\docs\licinfo.htm for details of how to do this. 3. Network Client Installation Select this to configure a PC to run the Lynx software already installed on a file server on your network. Lynx programs can be run by clicking the Lynx Launcher icon on your desktop or in the Start menu. After installation you may need to run the FILEREG utility from the Launcher in order to associate file extensions and register DLLs required by Lynx programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lynx Information Systems Ltd email: support@lynxinfo.co.uk web: www.lynxinfo.co.uk tel: +44 (0)20 8780 2634 84 Coombe Rd New Malden Greater London KT3 4QS UK Copyright (c) Lynx Information Systems Ltd 2023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NOTES ============= V3.54 09/06/2023 Launcher.exe V2.01 Updated INI copyright -------------------------------------------- V3.53 31/05/2017 Launcher.exe V2.01 -------------------------------------------- V3.52 24/06/2016 Launcher.exe V2.00 LEACfg.exe V1.32 Setparmw.exe V2.67 -------------------------------------------- V3.51 28/01/2014 Includes FILEREG.EXE V1.85 signed exe -------------------------------------------- V3.50 20/01/2014 Signed setup -------------------------------------------- V3.42 18/07/2013 Fixed setup syntax error for SETPARMW.EXE destination -------------------------------------------- V3.41 15/07/2013 Setup version fix - SETPARMW V2.4B - uses existing *60.bpl modules -------------------------------------------- V3.40 28/06/2013 LAUNCHER.EXE V1.90 - added Windows 7 manifest and use LynxData folder in user profile Default destination folder for standalone install type is C:\Lynxsys3 if this folder already exists (for upgrades) or %ProgramFiles%\Lynxsys3 for new installations -------------------------------------------- V3.3F 12/03/2013 Launcher.exe V1.8A - bug fix - allow creation of favourite dirs when list is initially empty Updated LEASYS.INI, LICINFO.INI -------------------------------------------- V3.3E 15/03/2012 Added vclie60.bpl -------------------------------------------- V3.3D 12/01/2012 Copyright updated to 2012 -------------------------------------------- V3.3C 18/08/2011 Launcher.exe V1.87 - command-line icon updated -------------------------------------------- V3.3B 25/11/2010 Launcher.exe V1.86 - fixed positioning with multi-screen -------------------------------------------- V3.3A 15/11/2010 FILEREG.EXE V1.82 - custom registration silently skips ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND -------------------------------------------- V3.39 29/09/2010 FILEREG.EXE V1.81 - custom registration silently skips ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -------------------------------------------- V3.38 07/09/2010 FILEREG.EXE V1.80 - added custom COM registration option -------------------------------------------- V3.37 17/06/2010 Launcher.exe V1.85 - new logo on splash screen -------------------------------------------- V3.36 05/05/2009 Removed network user dir from setup - all LEA temp/working/config files go into user data dir, which will be created by network client setup on each PC.
