Post by ablong » Sun Jul 15, 2007 8:41 pm

I had no trouble installing EP 1.6 on my desktop but i have slept since
then . It seems to be a driver problem. I went over to cpap.com and
read derek version but he talks of the drivers on a second disk.
I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.

thanks

Post subject: EncorePro 1.6i (1.6.22) installation with MyEncore 1.5b7

OK, several people have posted that they are experiencing problems getting MyEncore to work with EncorePro 1.6i. Several have asked for information regarding what worked. So, here is my STEP BY STEP instructions for what worked for me. This was on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Professional and Home editions, SP2 Firewall Disabled. No guarantees that this will work for you, but it has worked for my configuration. Cool

First, a couple of observations regarding potential problem spots. If you are running Windows XP SP2, you might try disabling the firewall, at least temporarily. The installation and interaction doesn't actually need access to the internet, but it does use the Microsoft .NET Framework which will require access to the loopback interface. The firewall, which is enabled by default in Service Pack 2, may be blocking this loopback access. DISCLAIMER ON: This action could open your system up to attack from the internet. If you are worried about this, you may want to disconnect your network cable for the majority of this process. However, you will need internet access to download the .NET framework and MyEncore software. Turn off the firewall at your own risk! If your system is behind a cable modem router, it may limit your exposure.DISCLAIMER OFF To disable the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2, select "Control Panel" from the Start menu, then click the "Security Center". At the bottom of the Windows Security Center window, click on manage security settings for: "Windows Firewall". This will open the Windows Firewall window. Click the radio button next to "Off (Not Recommended)" then click the "OK" button. If you are using some other Firewall, such as ZoneAlarm or Norton, you will need to either disable it or allow access to the programs as necessary.

A second potential problem, which is addressed in the step by step instructions, is the way the SQL security settings are configured during the EncorePro installation. Make sure to set a password on the SA account. I'm not sure, but I believe that if you leave the account password blank, it may limit access to the database to "protect" your database. Even if this is not the case, you probably want your database password protected.

Alright now, down to business. Since I have no idea who might need these instructions, I'll try to keep them as simple as possible and include the most basic steps. I didn't have a convenient way to include pictures and I wasn't sure about copyright issues, so I'll just describe the steps.

EncorePro Installation
1. Insert the encorepro cd into your cd drive. If you have autorun enabled (likely, this is the default), the encorepro splash screen will start automatically. If not, go to "My Computer", double click on your CD drive, and then double click on "Encore.exe"

2. Click on the US flag to select english.

3. Click on "install software"

4. You will be prompted to select a language, the default is "US english". Click on "OK" to accept the default.

5. When prompted to exit all windows programs and accept the copyright, click "Next"

6. Click "I Agree" when prompted to accept the software license.

7. Select "Single Computer" for installation type.

8. Make sure there is only a check mark next to "EncorePro Application" when prompted to "Select Components."

9. Accept the default values for "Application destination folder" and "Database destination folder." Click "Next" to continue.

10. On the "Start installation" window, click "Next"

11. On the second "Start installation" window, accept the defaults for "Database Server Name" (you shouldn't be able to change this anyway), and "Backup database to: " then click "Install"

12. You should see the status screen and several installer dialogs flashing by. Wait for these to finish.

13. If you haven't disabled your firewall, you may be prompted here to allow the SQL Server Configuration, Database Installation Utility for Encore Pro, and the SQL Server Service Manager, to access the internet. Note the firewall from Windows XP SP2 may silently deny access to some of these requests causing problems. Zonealarm and other third party firewalls usually prompt requesting permission.

14. You should be prompted here to "Secure the Server." The default is to "Leave the SA account alone (Use a blank SA password). See my note at the beginning of this post regarding this. Change this to "Provide the SA password", then enter and confirm the password. Click "Next" to continue.

15. Wait while the installer creates the database.

16. If you haven't disabled your firewall, you may be prompted to allow "SQL Server Windows NT" to access the internet and act as a server. Again, the SP2 firewall if still enabled may silently deny these requests causing problems.

17. Wait while the installer completes the installation and updates the system configuration.

18. Click "Finish" when prompted that "EncorePro 1.6 has been successfully installed."

19. Click the X in the lower right hand corner of the encorepro splash screen to exit the Autorun script.

SmartCard Driver Installation
20. Go to "My Computer" and right click on your CD drive and select Explore.

21. Double click on the "Smart Card Readers" folder to open it.

22. Double click on "setup.exe" to start the initial installation of the drivers and utilities.

23. Click "Next" on the "Welcome to the Mako Technologies Driver Setup Wizard".

24. Click "Yes" to accept the license agreement.

25. Check the box next to "USB (DT3500)" when prompted to "Select the devices you wish to install on your machine." Then click "Next"

26. Click "Install" on the "Ready to install the Program" dialog.

27. Wait while the drivers and utilities are installed.

28. Click "Finish" when "the wizard has finished the installation."

29. Reboot the system if you weren't prompted to when finishing the driver installation.
