Installing from Downloaded Files

DataDirect makes the .NET Client available for either purchase or evaluation via its download site on the World Wide Web (http://www.datadirect.com). Installation follows essentially the same procedure as installation from a DVD.

NOTE: You must run the Setup program from the machine on which you are installing the product. You cannot run the Setup program from a network location to install the product on your local machine.

This section provides instructions for installing the SequeLink for .NET Client downloaded from a Web site to your local drive or to a network location.

To install the data provider from downloaded files:

  1. Download the product zip file from the Web site.
  2. Unzip the files, maintaining the directory structure in the zip file, to a temporary directory, for example:

    3. C:\TEMP

  3. From Windows Explorer, navigate to this directory; then, double-click the Setup program.
  4. The Welcome window for the product appears. Follow Step 3 through Step 8 under "Installing from a DVD" to complete the installation.

NOTE: If you want to use the SequeLink Client with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC), you must reboot.

For information on using the data provider, refer to the SequeLink Developer's Reference and SequeLink Administrator's Guide.
