Press the Next button to proceedwith the installation (see Figure 2 - 6) or press the Cancel button to stop the installation (seeFigure 2 - 3). If a folder is entered that does not exist, the new folder will be created during theinstallation.

If a network installation is required, assign a network drive and folder for the installation on thenetwork (IE: K:\APPS\UPIPE). Because UltraPIPE installs system files to theC:\Windows (or C:\ WINNT) folder, it is necessary to install UltraPIPE through eachworkstation requiring access to UltraPIPE. For installations on different workstations ofa network installation, be sure to assign the same network drive and folder for eachUltraPIPE location (IE: K:\APPS\UPIPE). The installation will proceed quickly as theinstallation program will recognize the UltraPIPE files on the network and only install requiredwindows system files.

Do not install the UltraPIPE program in more than one location for a normalinstallation, as there may be confusion on start-up. This will assure a single Master SettingsPath and consistent configuration for all users via a common location of the configuration file

called KBDEF.MDB. Also, keep the Support Path, Data Path, Drawing Path and DMSMatePath as installed. An unlimited number of working data folders, each with a UltraPIPE Settingfor quick access, can be easily added to your installation after initial installation. Working datafolders can be anywhere on the computer system. Remember that Path assignments arepart of the configuration information for all Settings. For more information on settings,please see the chapter titled “Adjusting your Session settings”.
