| Installing nSight SQL Version |
|
Installation is relatively simple. The system components required for nSight 2006 are no different to nSight 2003, so if you already have a previous version installed, you won't need to run an installer applicaiton. the one additional component that is required by nSight 2006 is an ODBC connection to your SQL database. This is how to set one up:
ODBC Setup You need to access the ODBC administration window on your PC. This can be done in a couple of different ways. You login to your PC using an account with administrative rights to the local computer. Once you have done this, you get to the ODBC administration window via either:
Your ODBC Connection is now configured. Getting the Application Running Next you need to get the application file from the Server. On your N drive (if you had nSight 2003 configured on your machine) you will find a folder called 'nSight 2006'. Inside this folder there is a zip file called 'nSight 2006.zip'. Drag the file to your desktop, right click on it and choose 'Extract All'. Remember where you extracted the file to - navigate there - double click on the application to launch it. Supporting Files The application requires the 'Mousehook.dll' file in certain parts. You can either place the file in your System Folder 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\', or in the same folder as the application itself. You may not need to do this if you had already put this file in your system folder when setting-up nSight 2003. |
