Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP Post Install Issues
Condition:
When FDI’s 90PGA application software reports the inability of a specific set of libraries and
files to load and be used in the remote operation of the 90IP unit. Certain users are not allowed to run the
FD90IP Application Software.
Cause:
Conditions are created by one of the key features of the operating system used. W2000/NT/XP systems,
work under a very strict permission-controlled hierarchy of groups and users among other things.
The ability of an administrator to “fully operate” the system is because Administrators have “full control” of
all the necessary libraries and files and non-administrative users do not. By not having the proper access
rights to files and sufficient privileges for the libraries, registry keys, etc., the common users may be unable
to remotely operate the 90IP chassis with the application software.
Solution:
The specific user must have the right privileges to access the necessary files. The user must have the
proper access to open the registry keys opened by specific libraries. What follows is a set of guidelines
suggesting
a way to allow any desired user to acquire the necessary privileges to run the FD90IP
Application Software.
Perform the following steps in order to grant the necessary privileges to the user:
As an administrator (before the installation):
The account that installs the software must have administrator privileges.
If tight security is not an issue in the users computer system, consider elevating the system
privileges. You are referred to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library
for more information on the subject.
This will enable a user to run the installation and have it work regardless of privileges.
As an administrator (after the installation):
Notes:
•
The account (with administrator privileges) that installed the software receives full control of the
90IP-related software.
•
If common users will use the application software, it is recommended for the administrator not to
run anything after installation. For example, the user should run the MAX utility.
•
(Windows XP) The PC must NOT be in “simple file sharing mode”.
