Installation Procedure |
A] SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
The software is developed in Visual Basic which, to work efficiently,
is demanding in terms of hardware. Ideally, you should work with the latest of
the Pentium processors with a 32 MB RAM. Before installing the Census of India
2001 software, you must ensure that the following hardware and software requirements
are met.
| Operating system |
Windows 95 / 98 / NT (With
Internet Explorer 5.0 ) |

MB. Preferably 32MB | |

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.

may come at the time of installation i.e. in Step 6, when you click on
the Computer Symbol: "429-ActiveX component can't create object / This

How to access the software through the CD drive in the server
*
The Census of India 2001 software has been developed for installation
in a stand alone machine only. However, you could access
the software 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:
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 access the software 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 software in
this system (system B) by following the steps outlined in
the installation procedure.
However, please note the following:
1) The software can be accessed only in the node (System
B) in which it has been installed.
2) The CD drive should be mapped, each time, as it was mapped
at the time of installation. (i.e. steps 3 a,b & c above).
3) The CD should be kept inserted in the mapped drive (System
A), whenever the software is in use.
* 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.
