MINESIGHT Windows Installation Instructions

MineSight customers upgrading to this version from MineSight 2016 Release 8 or earlier will need
to check in all commuted licenses before upgrading, otherwise the license will be unavailable until
the checkout time expires.

Customers using a network license will also be required to update the Reprise License Manager
(RLM) software running on the license server before obtaining a license (to version 12.1.2). Please
contact MineSight technical support for assistance with any issues.

This installer can be used to UPDATE or make a NEW installation of MineSight. Updating a previous
version of MineSight will cause all old MineSight software to be removed from the selected directory, and
replaced with the selected programs. As a new installation, the selected MineSight programs will be
installed into the selected directory.

In order for all installation options to work properly you will need to log on as a user with Administrator
permissions.

BACKUP your existing MineSight installation. Do this especially if you intend to install over a previous
version as certain outdated folders will be cleared before installing the newer folders.

CHECK YOUR DISK SPACE. NEW installations require approximately 2 GB of disk space (this includes
required third party installations). MineSight alone requires about 1.5 GB of disk space. SAVE SITE-
SPECIFIC FILES. Skip this step if you are making a NEW installation. Otherwise, if you have site-specific
files (e.g., plot.inf, digit.inf, medlist.bat) copy them to a save directory.

START THE INSTALLATION. The installation can be started in any of the following ways:

 Double-click on the installer executable.

 From DOS: at the command prompt,

type the path and name of the installer and press enter.

The installer wizard allows for the following types of install

 Custom – Allows the user to choose specific components,

 Regular install – by default enables typical components for standalone installation,

 Network install

o Network Client Install – by default enables components needed by network clients.

o Network Unpack Install – unpacks all installers into a selected folder. Designed for IT
professionals who need to update multiple machines.

SENTINEL COMPATIBILITY ISSUES. The Sentinel SuperPro version 7.4.0 key driver we install is
developed by SafeNet and is reported to be compatible with all 32 and 64 bit computers with the
exception of the Intel® Itanium® processor. Upon startup of the MineSight programs, information is
obtained from the attached Sentinel hardware key and delivered to the program being executed.

Visit the SafeNet website at http://www.safenet-inc.com/support/tech/sentinel.asp for further information

regarding Sentinel driver compatibility and/or downloading.

RESETTING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES. The install program automatically sets the necessary
environment variables in either the User or System section as specified above. Environment variables
MEDEXE, METLIB, and DEFIL will be set. The directory you are installing to is assigned to MEDEXE and
is prepended to the PATH variable. METLIB and DEFIL will not be changed if they already exist. If you
want to change these environment variables, you may do so using Control Panel\System.

SITE-SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS. Retrieve any site-specific files you saved earlier. Copy the proper
site-specific plotting programs to m122v1.exe and plotv1.exe. To deter-mine the proper version of
M122xx and PLOTxx, check page 122-3 in the M120 Programs section of the documentation. (E.g., if you
have an HP plotter that doesn't use HPGL/2, copy m122hp.exe to m122v1.exe and plothp.exe to
plotv1.exe.)

If you have any questions about this installation, contact MineSight Technical Support.
