BlueZone Installation

Installing BlueZone

Installing BlueZone is quick and easy. BlueZone is shipped on the BlueZone CD-ROM. The BlueZone CD-ROM has an "Auto-run" program which will automatically launch the Welcome to BlueZone "Splash Screen" when the BlueZone CD-ROM is placed in your computer's CD or DVD drive.

NOTE This procedure is intended for a new, first time installation of BlueZone. If an older version of BlueZone is already installed on the target machine, please refer to Upgrading BlueZone. If you already have BlueZone installed and you wish to add or remove a BlueZone component or feature, please refer to Modifying BlueZone.

Before Proceeding

A quick word on BlueZone's Optional Installation Features. BlueZone has a number of features that can not be installed unless the feature is configured in some way before the installation process takes place. Some features require that a SETUP.INI file be edited. Some features require moving a file or files to a particular location. In either case, it is recommenced that you review BlueZone's Optional Installation Features first, before performing your first BlueZone installation.

BlueZone Installation Procedure

BlueZone is provided on a CD-ROM or in the form of a CD image. The installation follows standard Windows installation procedures.

Insert the BlueZone CD-ROM into your CD/DVD drive. The BlueZone CD will automatically launch the Welcome to BlueZone "Splash" screen:

With your mouse, click the BlueZone Desktop button. The BlueZone Desktop Link will be displayed:

Click the BlueZone Desktop link to start the installation. The BlueZone Setup program will display the following BlueZone Installation Language dialog:

We recommend that you let BlueZone determine the Installation Drive and Directory and the Working Drive and Directory. Click the Next button.

NOTE If you are an experienced user, you can manually enter the appropriate paths or browse to these paths as needed. We recommend using the default setting.

NOTE If you are installing BlueZone on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP workstation that will be shared by more than one user, use the default value "Always use the Personal Folder as the Working Directory" checkbox so that each user can store their settings, configurations and script files in their own My Documents folder.

If you want all users of this workstation to share the same settings, un-check the “Always use the Personal Folder as the Working Directory” checkbox and check the “Always use the All User’s Common Folder as the Working Directory” checkbox.

The BlueZone Components dialog will be displayed as shown here:

Review the default selections. Use the scroll bar on the right hand side view all components. By default, some BlueZone components are selected for installation and some are not. The components that have a diskette icon will be installed and the components that have a red X icon will not be installed.

NOTE For a description of a particular component, highlight the component with your mouse pointer and read the Feature Description, which will appear on the right hand side of the screen.

Now is the time to choose exactly which components get installed by either de-selecting any undesired components or selecting any desired components that are not selected for installation. This is accomplished by left clicking on the component you wish to change, and selecting the desired result from the list as shown here:

Also, in the "Install this application for" section, you can choose whether you want BlueZone to be installed just for your use, or for BlueZone to be shared by all users. This is accomplished by choosing the desired radio button as shown here:

When you are satisfied with your selections, click the Next button. The Choose Activation File dialog will be displayed as shown here:

Use the Browse button to locate your Software Activation File. Once you have it selected, click the Next button.

NOTE If you do not have a Software Activation File at this time, you can skip this dialog by clicking the Next button. You can manually copy your Software Activation File to your BlueZone installation folder later.

NOTE To Single User License Holders - If you have purchased a BlueZone Single User License, you will not receive a Software Activation File, you will receive a BlueZone Installation Key instead. Single User License holders must run the SEAGULL Registration Wizard to complete the installation process.
