NAPA Release 2008.2 1 (21)
Installation Instructions

Installation instructions - NAPA Release 2008.2

1 General
The installation media contains the NAPA Release 2008.2 program for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Make sure that you have Exceed installed on the workstation prior to installing NAPA - see sections Installing Exceed
8.0, Installing Exceed 8.0 3D and Configuring Exceed.

Note: the Setup program may sometimes claim to have created a new sysdb.db even if the old sysdb.db still exists in
the pr directory. However, this Setup program will not overwrite the existing sysdb.db.

After installing Exceed, Exceed 3D and NAPA, restart the computer after each installation. Server installations,
however, do not require restarting.

The same license file that was delivered together with Release 2008.1 is valid also for the Release 2008.2.

The NAPA installation folder layout has been changed in version 2008.2. The NAPA executable file is located in
<NAPA FOLDER> \bin\20082\napa082.exe. The change is made to ensure correct loading of different runtime
libraries.

Running the setup will also install the NAPA Online Manuals of Release 2008.2 in HTML format. The setup adds a
desktop shortcut to the manuals. However, the Manuals can also be run directly from the DVD. In that case, the
manuals are started by opening the following file:

<DVD>:napa\man\Man082\index.html

The Update Info for release 2008.2 can be found in the following file. The file is found at the root of the installation
media:

Update_Info_2008_2.pdf

1.1 Installation order

It is essential that the programs on the installation Media are installed in the correct sequence. Exceed must be installed
prior to NAPA. The correct installation sequence is:

Exceed -> Exceed 3D -> NAPA

1.2 Getting started

Make the following preparations to ensure a successful installation:

Log in to the computer as Administrator.


Close all other programs currently running on the computer.
Read the installation instructions.

NAPA Release 2008.2 2 (21)
Installation Instructions

2 System requirements

2.1 Operating system versions

The following operating system versions are currently supported:

Windows:

Windows 2000 Professional + minimum of Service Pack 4 with Exceed 8.0.0 (*


Windows XP Professional + minimum of Service Pack 1 (** with Exceed 8.0.0 (*

SUN:

Solaris 8.0

Note: NAPA Release 2008.2 will be the last NAPA version supporting SUN (Solaris 8.0). After that, only Windows
versions are supported.

Note2: NAPA Release 2008.2 will be the last NAPA version supporting Windows 2000. Preparations have been
made to support Windows Vista in future release of NAPA

(* The latest update for Exceed 8.0.0 can be obtained by navigating to:

http://www.hummingbird.com/hummingbirdupdate/index.html

The patches deal with minor issues. The updates are cumulative which means that only the latest one needs to be
installed. However, according to Hummingbird there is no need to apply the patch if you do not encounter any problems
with Exceed.

(** Microsoft virtual machine (Microsoft VM) is included as a part of Windows XP SP1. NAPA Online Manuals use
the Microsoft VM for the search function.

2.2 Hardware configuration for computers running Windows

The recommended minimum hardware configuration:

Processor: Any 64-bit


Memory: 1 Gb for Win 2000/XP
Disk Space: 60 Gb
Graphics Adapter: 128 Mb memory, Open GL compatible
Network Adapter is required
Screen resolution 1280 x 1024 pixels.

It is, however, possible to run NAPA on a computer with a lower performance. The absolute minimum hardware
requirements would be:

Processor: Up from PentiumIII 1000 MHz


Memory: 128 Mb for NT4, 256 Mb for 2000/XP

1992-2008 Napa Ltd. All rights reserved.


NAPA Release 2008.2 3 (21)
Installation Instructions

Disk Space: 1 Gb
Graphics Adapter: 64 Mb memory, Open GL compatible
Network Adapter is required
Screen resolution 1024 x 768 pixels. It is recommended to start NAPA with Tinylayout if this resolution is used (the
word Tinylayout is entered into the field User Profile in the Login window).

3 Exceed

The Exceed software is included only in DVDs sent to customers who have obtained a valid Exceed license via Napa
Ltd and who have a valid Exceed maintenance agreement.
Exceed must be installed before installing NAPA.
It is recommended that Exceed is installed locally in the folder suggested by the installation setup.
Restart the workstation after installation.
Exceed 3D is an optional package for Exceed contributing to Open GL graphics. Exceed 3D is installed after the
standard Exceed has been installed.

3.1 Exceed version

The officially supported Exceed version for Release 2008.2 is Exceed 8.0. NAPA is basically compatible with the
newer versions of Exceed, for example, Exceed 11.0. However, Exceed 11.0 cannot be officially supported due to the
following known issues:

Memory leak. Exceed 9.0/10.0/11.0 reserves memory cumulatively and if NAPA is kept running constantly for a
long period of time, all memory will eventually be reserved. This is not a serious problem if NAPA + Exceed is shut
down a couple of times per week as the reserved memory is then freed.
Scandinavien characters. The scandinavian characters are not available with Exceed 11.0.
Problem with keyboard input. After interactions in the graphic window with the mouse, the keyboard may behave as
if the Ctrl button is pushed down. This means that, for example, the @-sign will not be appear. The solution is to
press the Ctrl button once and the keyboard returns to the normal state.

There are no major improvements to the newer versions of Exceed and there is therefore no need to upgrade to a newer
version.

3.2 Installing Exceed 8.0

If the correct version of Exceed is already installed, you can proceed directly to Installing NAPA Release.

Uninstall any previous version of Exceed. Exceed can be uninstalled by using the Remove program function in the
Windows Control Panel.

Make backup copies of possible Xstart startup files before removing the previous Exceed version. These files are
located in the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application


Data\Hummingbird\Connectivity\x.xx\Exceed

NAPA Release 2008.2 8 (21)
Installation Instructions

In earlier releases of NAPA, there have been some problems with OpenGL if the Hardware Acceleration has been too
high. With Release 2008.2, the advice is to set the Hardware Acceleration to maximum for optimum OpenGL
performance. The setting for the hardware acceleration is typically found in Windows: Start -> Control Panel -> Display
-> Settings -> Advanced; however, the location depends on the video card and the operating system.

4 Installing NAPA Release 2008.2


Exceed must be installed before running the NAPA installation setup program.

Start the NAPA setup program from the installation media by double-clicking the setup.exe file in the Napa082 folder.

Note that no upgrade selection exists. If you start from scratch, you will automatically get a full new installation. If an
old installation exists on the hard drive, the setup program overwrites older files and installs the not yet existing files.
The system database, napalicense and the napa_spool.bat files are however never overwritten.

Installation Instructions

6 Login

6.1 First login in a new installation

A User ID is needed to log on to NAPA. The User ID to be used when starting NAPA after a new installation of NAPA
has been made is ADMI. No password is needed. Please read the next section for instructions on how to add new User
IDs in NAPA.

6.2 Add new User IDs

Typically, all NAPA users in an organisation have their own personal ID that is used for logging on to NAPA. User IDs
may be defined in the task INST which is a subtask to ADM. In addition to registering new IDs the permissions for each
user may be defined. The alternatives are A for Administrator, P for Professional user and U for a normal user.

ADM
INST
USER ABC P
USER
OK
END

The default value for the User ID field in the login window when starting NAPA is the login name from the operating
system.

7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Media Sense of Windows 2000 and Windows XP

The NETBIOS name listed in the license file is not recognized by NAPA if the network is disconnected unless the
Media Sense of the operating system is disabled. In consequence, NAPA will not start if the LAN cable is unplugged.

More information can be found at the Microsoft support website:

http://support.microsoft.com/ Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 239924.

The installation Media includes a pdf document named Network Media Sensing in Win2000 and WinXP.pdf with
instructions on this procedure.

7.2 Simple File Sharing in Windows XP

Windows XP enables you to share files and documents with other users on your computer and other users in the
network. This is carried out with the Simple File Sharing interface, which should be enabled in order to run NAPA.

To turn on Simple File Sharing in Windows XP Professional:

Double-click My Computer on the desktop.


On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab, and enable Simple File Sharing by checking the box Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended).

More information can be obtained from:

http://support.microsoft.com/ Article 304040: Description of File Sharing and Permissions in Windows XP

7.3 Installation diagnostics program

A diagnostics program is included to help when problems with the installation occur. The program can be found in
<NAPAInstallDir> and it can be run with the following command:

DRIVE:\<NAPAInstallDir>\Diagnose\Napadiag.exe (e.g.
C:\Napa\Diagnose\Napadiag.exe)

This program collects some information on the computer and writes the information to a file:

Installation Instructions

DRIVE:\<NAPAInstallDir>\Diagnose\Diagnose.log (e.g.
C:\Napa\Diagnose\Diagnose.log)

If you encounter problems with installation, please submit this file together with a description of the problem to the
Customer Service of Napa Ltd.

7.4 Problems with the @ and \ signs in NAPA

Problems with inputting the @ and \ signs in NAPA have been reported in conjunction with some installations. If such
problems surface, please try the following solutions:

Add the following lines to the Win.ini file. The Win.ini file is normally located in the C:\WINDOWS folder

[EXCEED]
EuroKeyboardFix=1
Some keyboards have quick launch buttons for applications such as email and internet. The software for quick
launch buttons might in some cases prevent the use of the @ and \ signs in NAPA. Uninstalling the software for
quick launch buttons might solve the problem.
Changing Display properties # Appearance # Font size from Normal (default) in Windows might cause problems
with the Exceed installation. If the Font size has been changed before Exceed is installed, the @ sign might not work
properly. Remedy: uninstall Exceed -> change font size to normal -> restart the computer -> re-install Exceed ->
restart the computer.
Hummingbird has delivered an executable file with Exceed updates. This file with updates might solve the problem
with the @ sign. Please ask Napa Ltd for the update file if the problem is not solved through the above procedures.

7.5 Panic exit when starting NAPA

If a sudden panic exit takes place when starting NAPA, please check that none of the following files and folders are
defined as Read-only in Windows:

The Napa folder


The PR folder
The Sysdb.db

It is necessary that the system database (sysdb.db) is available and that full permissions (read + write) are given to this
file when NAPA is starting up. Please check that the Napa folder is shared in Windows and that full permissions are
given to the folder. The default permissions when sharing a folder in Windows XP are only Read and that is not
sufficient. Please read section Network configuration for more information about sharing.

7.6 Computer date and time

It is hazardous to adjust the date and time of the computer clock. There is an advanced object administration in NAPA
that keeps track of the date and time of all defined objects, descriptions and calculation results. A sudden change of the
computer clock will mix up this up-to-date check in NAPA and result in that the program will not funtion properly and
in most cases will refuse to start.

7.7 NAPA license file

If NAPA will not start, the problem may be that the content of the NAPA license file is incorrect or the file is stored
with the wrong name or in a wrong location.
