Supernova for Windows NT/2000/XP
Network Version
Installation Instructions.

This installation requires the assistance of the NT Administrator or someone who has security equivalence.

Follow these instructions carefully for a successful installation.

1. Log on as the Administrator or someone who has security equivalence.

2. Install Supernova and SAM from the CD to folders accessible by all users.

3. Copy the files SAM32.DLL and PSAPI.DLL from the WINNT\SYSTEM32 folder, on your local machine, or from the snovant\core directory on the installation CD to the WINNT\SYSTEM32 folder on each machine on the network that you want to use Supernova on. These two files must be located somewhere in the PATH for Supernova to run.

4. If required copy the Supernova's Start menu items to the Start menu for each user that will be using Supernova.

For each machine where Supernova is to be used do steps 5 to 8

5. Log on as the Administrator or someone who has security equivalence.

6. Locate the Supernova for Windows NT installation directory in Windows Explorer and run the program called DOLCFGNT.EXE. You should get a message saying "Interception driver installed and configured successfully". If you get any other message you probably don't have sufficient security permission.

7. If you are unable to locate or access the Supernova directory you can run the program directly off the CD. It is in the \snova\core directory.

8. Locate the SAM installation directory in Windows Explorer and run the program called SAM.EXE. Configure the synthesizer and/or Braille display for the machine. The settings will be stored locally for that machine.

9. Log off and RESTART the machine. 

10. Installation is now complete. Refer to the Manual update readme for additional information.
