7.2 Installation
HSC is installed in the same way as most other Windows programs:
1. It is not necessary to remove the old HSC 4.0 version if you want to upgrade to
HSC 5.0. It can still be used if the new 5.0 is installed in a different directory.
However, all old HSC 5.0 (beta) versions must be uninstalled before new HSC 5
installation with Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Dialog.
2. Close all other Windows programs, but not Windows itself. Note that you must
also close, for example, the MS Office icon bar, because it has loaded some
programs to the memory. Otherwise the HSC installation program can not upgrade
those libraries which are in use. You can press “Ctrl, Alt, Delete” to view and close
all the running programs. Do not, however, close EXPLORER and SYSTRAY
under Windows 95 and 98.
3. Insert HSC CD in your drive.
4. Select Start Run: from the Menu (or use Add Programs from Control Panel.)
5. Locate SETUP.EXE from HSC CD and press Enter. Answer questions.
Restart Windows when installation is complete.
If you have problems see chapter 7.4.
Note that you may have to Log on to your computer as Administrator in order to install
HSC 5.0, however, this depends on your computer settings and Windows version.
Installation into a network server:
1. Use same procedure as for single computer.
2. Repeat installation procedure for each terminal, which must have access to HSC.
Install HSC every time into the same drive and directory in the network server. This
multiple installation procedure will:
- Copy the HSC.INI file into the Windows directory of each terminal.
- Copy all library files (*.dll, *.ocx, etc.) into the Windows\System directory of each
terminal if necessary.
- Copy all other files into the same HSC directory of the network server if necessary.

Picture 1 gives an example of possible HSC5.INI settings. Note that Own and Main
databases can exist in any drive or directory. The order of rows must be the same as in this
example.
[HSC Path]
Server=C:\HSC5\ ' Path of HSC in your computer
Terminal=C:\HSC5\ ' Path of HSC in server
OwnDB=C:\HSC5\DATABASES\OWNDB5.HSC ' Path of Own Database
MainDB=C:\HSC5\DATABASES\MAINDB5.HSC ' Path of Main Database
SolGasMix=C:\HSC5\SGM.EXE ' Path of Solgasmix
UserName=Antti Roine ' HSC Licence: User Name
Organization=Outokumpu Research Oy ' HSC Licence: Organization Name
LicenseNumber=50000 ' HSC Licence: Serial Number
If you reinstall HSC in the same directory, do not overwrite your old OwnDB5.HSC file if
you have saved data on it, i.e. copy this file first to some other directory.
Note also that selected fonts and sizes must be available in your printer. However, you can
also change fonts later by pressing the Settings button in HSC Main Menu. You can
change the default printer using the Printers icon on the Control Panel.
