6.9 Installation of the CD Rosetta for all users of a PC 

As the goal of the Rosetta CD-ROM is to permit to test some CAS without installing them, the installation is made by default for the administrator who did the installation and for him only, in order to not perturb the installation of the other users2 .

If you are administrator of a PC under Windows NTx and that you want to make the Rosetta distribution accessible to all users of the PC (or if you are the only user of your PC but that you want to use the distribution from a plain account, without privileges of administration, to avoid to damage the system files accidentally), the procedure to follow is very simple: install the CD-ROM normally, as indicated in sec. 2.3, then cut and paste the short cuts created during installation, from the installer's personal directory to the directory All Users. More precisely, the steps to follow are:

  1.  Open a session under the administrator's name with which you installed the Rosetta CD-ROM (for example Administrator).
  2.  Open the Windows Explorer and go into your personal directory (for ex. H:\Documents and settings\Administrator for the user Administrator).

  3.  Go into the subdirectory Desktop, cut the elements Rosetta and Assistant Rosetta and paste them in the directory H:\Documents and settings\All Users\Desktop.
  4.  Go into the subdirectory Start Menu\Programs, cut the element Rosetta and paste it in the directory H:\Documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs.
  5.  If the Rosetta distribution is used in Plug & Play mode from an unit that must be mounted before being usable (as a virtual CD-ROM drive or a network disk), install the mount utility in the directory H:\Documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Starting. In the example of the previous section (sec. 6.7), the mount utility is the file inidv.bat.
  6.  Copy the file gsview32.ini from your personal directory to the personal directories of all others users supposed to have access to Gsview.
  7.  Go into the directory ASTEXDIR\config\Virtuawin, copy the file vwconfig.user.cfg (where user designates the user's name under which you tested and configured Virtuawin, cf. sec. 4.9.1), paste this file in the directory ASTEXDIR\config\Virtuawin.
  8.  Close the session in progress and login again under another user's name.
  9.  Verify that the icon Assistant Rosetta actually exists on the desktop, that the assistant opens up correctly and that the button COCOA (for example) actually launches the program CoCoA. In case of problem, refer to chapter Troubleshooting.
  10.  Open the toolbar ../../../icones/rosetta/calfor01.gif and click on the button Ini Gsview NT , to configure Gsview for the Rosetta distribution.
