How do I make Gaussx for Windows work with GAUSS 4 on a network ?
This information applies to GaussX for Windows, Vsn 4.0.1
Symptoms
During installation, the GaussX dialog does not recognize the GAUSS serial number. Typically, the installation reurns that GAUSS Light is being installed.
Cause
GaussX picks up the GAUSS serial number in one of two places. The first is the registry of the machine to which it is being installed - look at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Aptech Systems, Inc.\GAUSS 4.0
There should be a license ID key, which contains the GAUSS license ID. This registry item will normally occur on the server, but not on the client.
The second place is the file gauss.lic on gauss\flexlm. This will normally contain a string, one element of which is SN=and again it will pick up the SN from the string. If the gauss.lic file points to an entry on the server, the serial number will not be found.
Resolution
1. Export the following registry item to the client machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Aptech Systems, Inc.\GAUSS 4.0
2. The following files should exist on the Clients Windows system directory:
COMDLG32.OCX THREED32.OCX EMEDIT32.OCX TABCTL32.OCX If any of these files is missing, copy the file from the server to the client. These files need to be manually registered using REGSVR32.EXE, which should also be on the Windows system directory. The syntax is:
c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx
