SOLUTIONS
A1] To install this software, which has been developed on Visual Basic and Access, the system should have Windows 95/98 with atleast Internet Explorer 4.02 SP2 or a later version or any latest Windows edition.

In case the minimum configuration is not found, then the above mentioned errors may come at the time of installation i.e. in Step 6, when you click on the Computer Symbol.

To overcome this problem, you would need to first update your system with Internet Explorer 5.0 and then start installing the Census 2001 software.

For your convenience, we have included the Internet Explorer 5.5 software with this CD in the IE5setup directory. To update Internet Explorer in your system just run the \ IE5setup \ IE5setup.exe from the CD. This will update your system.

The Census of India - 2001 software has been developed for installation in a stand alone machine only. However, you could access the CD in a LAN by carrying out the following steps:

1. Insert the CD in the CD drive of the server. *
2. After that, the following should be done on the server (System A).

The CD Drive of the server has to be shared. If this has not already been done, please carry out the following instructions:

* The CD drive could be in the server or in any system connected through a network to the system on which the software is being installed.


i) Double click on <Mycomputer> of the server
Choose the CD Drive and right click on it
Select <Sharing > from the menu
ii) A window will appear - Choose <Shared as> the option and give the CD Drive name (as in server) as the shared name and click <Apply>.

For e.g. if the CD Drive in the Server node is G: then the Shared name should also be G:

3. Then the following should be done on the machine that you want to install CD on, i.e. the node (System B).

a) Right click on the Network Neighbourhood (icon seen on the Desk Top) Choose
<Map Network Drive >

b) A small window will appear on the screen. Select a drive to map the shared CD drive in the server.

c) In the same window, in the space given alongside < Path >, type the server name and the shared name, For e.g. if the Server name is "NTServer" and the Shared name is "G", then the path will be \\ntserver\G. Click < Ok > after typing this. You will now be able to access the CD drive in the server.

Now, you can install the CD in this system (system B) by following the steps outlined in the installation procedure.

However, please note that the CD can be accessed in the node (system B) in which it has been installed.

A3] These are all Windows system files. Some other applications may use these files. Just press the <Ignore> button and proceed with the installation. This will not affect the working of the Census of India - 2001 software.
