Network Installation Guide

Notes : The 64-bit system does not support the Network dongle. Thus the eLock must always be
attached to the com puter when using Esteem 8. Go directly to topic: "How do I install eLock Driver
on a 64-bit system?" to install driver for the locally attached eLock.
Network Installation Instructions
1. Install the senselock driver

The senselock drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit machine are located in the Prerequisites folders
Senselock 32 and Senselock 64 respectively.
a) For 32-bit machine

\8.2.xx.0 ULOCK T .Net 2.0\Prerequisites\Senselock 32 bit\InstWiz3
b) For 64-bit machine

\8.2.xx.0 ULOCK T .Net 2.0\Prerequisites\Senselock 64 bit\InstWiz3
2. Plug in the network dongle into the server.
3. Copy the “Network Manager” folder into the server Desktop.
4. From the Network Manager folder, double-click to open “NetServerV20.exe”, and in the
characters field, type in 55132171.
5. The total license number will be displayed in the NetServerV20 application.
6. The NetServerV20 must always be on for the user to access the network dongle.
Troubleshooting Guide
1. Lock not found after the installation-- Check whether the NetServerV20.exe on the server is on
or not. Make sure you manually start this application if the server reboots. If lock is still not
found, check the Client.ini file and see whether the TCPHOST contains the correct IP
address for the server or not.
2. How to know how many licenses have been occupied? -- In the NetServerV20.exe
application, you can see who is accessing the network dongle.
3. The .Net framework 3.5 installation fails! ( error 1603)
a) Go to Control Panel, uninstall all .net 2.0, net 3.0 and .net 3.5 and all its hotfixes.
b) Reinstall .Net framework 3.5.
4. When click on Esteem8 the Esteem8 does not appear

a) First check the network connection to the server, is the client com puter ( meaning, the
computer with Esteem8) is connected to the server
b) If it is, go to the Program Folder, find the client.ini file, look for the line
"TCPHOST=192.168.16.2". Make sure that TCPHOST is pointed to the correct server
location
p19
5. TCP Communication Failed--- If you see this when you are trying to log into network manager,
then
a) please go to other computers ( other than the server) and try to ping the IP address. If
you can't ping, then it's the problem of the network connection. Please ask your network
admin to help.
b) If you can successfully ping the IP address, but still you are getting the above error, then
you might want to change the port of the TCP. To do this, start your Network Manager. Go
to Management->Configuration, change the TCP/IP Protocol's Port from 8000 to ( say)
1200.

Installation on Microsoft Windows Vista O/S
Installation for
Problem:
1. Installation running smooth, untill the final step, the process rolls back.
Possible Cause:
The application needs to add assemblies to the GAC (Global Assembly Cache), and Windows Vista
disallows such adding unless you turn off the UAC control.
For window Vista (OS), at default, the User Account Control (UAC) is activated to protect the system
from damage of uncertified software. Standard users are prohibited from installing most programs,
changing system settings, and performing other task that are the province of administrator. Hence,
the user has to switch off the UAC control in order to install Esteem 8.
Notes : We shall not be responsible in any manner for any damage(s) associated with the
changing of the User Account (UAC) setting on the computer.
How do I know if the User Account Control (UAC) is activated in my computer?

When you see this pop up (or any pop up which enquire adm inistrator perminssion to install), before
the installation file continues, that means your computer is UAC-activated.
You might be facing problem as below:-
The application installs successfully until the last part. A DOS program pops up and suddenly
I got this "cannot install message"
When you encountered this problem, the installation will stop at the screenshots as below:
p21
Then, followed by a pop-up message as below :-
The system will then perform rolling back process (meaning the software is not installed).
Solution:
To locate your UAC control, go to Start -> Control Panel->User Account:
Go for " Turn User Account Control on or off", click it. A new window pop up as below will appear.
p22
If the option "UAC to help protect your computer" is checked, uncheck it.
Repeat the installation guide for Esteem7 Installation.
CAUTION:
After turning User Account Control (UAC) off, the system will request for restart your
computer. Please ensure all your working applications are saved before restart the
computer.
2. Installation for .Net Framework 1.1 failure on Vista System.
Error Message:
Note : Process id may differ because it is not a fixed string.
Clicking "OK" will lead u to the screenshot below.
p23
Solution:
When you see this message, it is the time for some special steps to carried on to bypass the .NET
restriction command.
Please ensure all ur unsaved works are being saved.
Close all not relevent programs (MS WORDS, Window Media Player etc. Leave the error message on
and remain untouched)
Now, restart the computer. ( DO NOT CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE OR ANY APPLICATION
RUNNING UNDER ESTEEM INSTALLATION )
Note: It may take you quite a long time for shut down your computer in this way. Please wait
patiently to wait everything restart. DO NOT mannually turn off the power supply switch or reset the
c omputer.
When your windows restarted, the installation wizard will pop out automatically as the screetshot
below.
Choose "Next"
For options to installation component, only check the box under .NET Framework.
p24
Please uncheck other components for this time, except .NET Framework.
Then, click "Next".
You will see a Extracting process is carrying on. (It takes quite a long time, too)
Follow by that, you will be notified that the Microsoft .NET Fram ework 1.1 is installed in your computer
After that, Esteem 8 installation Wizard will pop up, install it and the program is ready to use.
p25
Possible Cause:
Vista has newer Version of Microsoft.NET , namely V2 or V3. For our Esteem8, it requires
Microsoft.NET 1.1 (only) to run the program. Under normal circumstances, Vista will not allow older
version of .NET component to be installed. However, we can bypass the restricting permission by
trying the following step.
3. On Windows Vista, I ran across an error in "Registering

System.EnterpriseServices.dll" when installing .net 1.1. The program then popped up a
message saying that "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled".
Try one or more or all of the following steps:

o Disable the Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
 Click on Start, choose All Program, click on Accessories, choose run and type
services.msc
 Locate the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service, right-click on it and
choose Properties
 In the startup type drop-down, select Disabled
 If the service status is currently listed as running, click on the button to stop the
service
 Close the services control panel and try to install .Net 1.1 again
o Disable the Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
 Click on Start, choose All Program, then Accessories, right click on the
Command Prompt item and choose Run as administrator
 Click Continue to grant permission to launch a cmd prompt with admin privileges.
 type in the command bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
 After running it, you should see a message saying that the operation completed
successfully
 Restart the computer
o Change the language settings to English (US)
o Run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
 Yes, this is needed because the installation can fail due to previous failed attempts.
Running this utility will eliminate any residual installation data.

How do I install the eLock Driver on a 64-bit system?

The 64-bit eLock Driver Installation Guide
After installing Esteem 8 on a 64-bit Windows XP, the software might not be able to find the eLock and thus cannot
be started. Additional steps need to be done to resolve the problem.
1. Install Esteem 8 as usual.
2. Plug in eLock. If it is already connected to the USB port, unplug it and then plug in again.
3. You will see the following dialog. Select “Yes” and then click “Next”.
4. You will then see the following dialog. Choose “Install the software automatically” and then press “Next”.
p34
5. Then the system starts to search for relevant drivers on the computer. This may take a while.
6. After that a “Hardware Installation” dialog appears. Just click “Continue Anyway” to proceed.
p35
7. You will come to the final dialog which indicates that the driver has been properly installed. Click “Finish” to
complete the installation process.
8. Test the eLock. Plug in the eLock into a USB port. The eLock driver is successfully installed when the
message on the taskbar is able to detect the hardlock.
p36
9. Then double-click on Esteem8 icon to launch. If the program does not able to launch, it might
not be able to detect the eLock on that USB port. Unplug the eLock and try on every other USB port.
p37
FAQ
Installation
1. When I double-click on Esteem application, the program is not launched.
The eLock might not be detected on the current USB port. Unplug the eLock and try on another USB
port.
2. When I click on an Esteem application, an error message pops up saying that "hard lock
cannot be found"
First, check whether your hardlock is attached to your pc or not, if not, then attached the correct hard
lock.
If the problem presists, then perhaps your hard lock is not connected properly to your USB port. Try
reconnecting it again.
3. When I click on an Esteem application, an error message pops up saying that "Class not
registered".
This problem is due to the fact that one of the com ponents the application uses is not properly
registered. During the installation time all due components should have been installed and fully
registered. However, it remains a distant possibility that some components are not properly installed.
To solve this problem, first try to restart your PC and click on the application again. If the problem
presists, than it is likely that the vdpro.ocx is at fault. Thus you need to m anually register this class by
 Going to start->run
 Type in regsvr32 <path to vdpro.ocx>. For example, regsvr32 "C:\Program
Files\VectorDraw\Components\1039\Ansi\vdpro.ocx"
4. An error message saying that ELock version is not compatible with the software.
This means that your hardlock is outdated already. In order to use the latest application, please
exchange the old hardlock with us or get the hardlock an update from us.
5. There are two identical icons with the name of "Setup", which one should I click?
p38
Click the one which has a smaller size. To check the size of a file, right click on that file, choose
properties->general. Look for the size.
6. Wait, during the install time I don't have two identical icons with the name "Setup",
instead, I have a "Setup" with your application icon on it, and another file with the name
"%AppName% %versionNumber% %releaseType%" with the normal Windows Installer
icon on it. Which one should I click?
The installation icons were enhanced. To setup your application, click on "Setup". Doing this will
ensure that you install properly the application and all the prerequisites. If you click on "%AppNam e
%versionNumber% %releaseType%", you will only install the applic ation without installing the
prerequisites.
7. Why do I encounter this error message when attempting to install Esteem 7?Error 1931:
The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file...
This error occurs because another application on your computer is preventing our installer from
copying the required files to your computer. The installer is "well behaved" in that it will not make
modifications to your computer if it appears that the modifications could damage programs that are
already installed.
Most commonly, this error occurs if you have other programs running while attempting to install
Esteem application. Rebooting the computer and attempting the installation again usually resolves the
problem.
If rebooting does not resolve the problem, there may be hidden programs running on your computer,
or your computer's configuration could be damaged. In either event, a more serious configuration
issue exists that must be resolved prior to attempting to install Esteem application again. This
problem is independent of Esteem software, and our customer support staff will be unable to further
assist you until the issue has been resolved. You should seek assistance from someone who is
compentent in troubleshooting computer configuration issues.
It should be noted that you can just click ok to the box and there will be no harm of it.
8. When I start your application, a dialog box with the string "Directory doesn't exist" pop
up.
Sometimes when you c lick on an Esteem application, a series of unexpected dialog box will pop up in
the following sequences (left to right):
This is because of the ELock driver problem. To solve this problem, unplug all the hardlocks and plug
back only the one that is needed for running the application.
If you find that you must have all your hardlock plugged at your USB port at a time, email us and we
will send you a new ELock driver. Note that the new driver is still under testing and it may not be
stable.
9. How can I tell if Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 is installed on my
machine?
Installing .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 doesn’t add an entry to your Add/Remove Programs
dialog. If you don’t see Mic rosoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886903) in the Add/Remove
Programs dialog, the only way to tell if the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
(NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) is installed on the machine is to check the following registry setting
in the Registry Editor:
p39
 Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322
 Value: SP
 Data type: REG_DWORD
The data in the SP value tells you which service pack is installed for .NET Fram ework 1.1. For
example, if the value of SP is 0, no service pack is installed for .NET Fram ework 1.1. If the value is 1,
Service Pack 1 for .NET Framework 1.1 is installed.
10. I got an nVidia OpenGL driver error which seems unrelated to the real problem!
When you click on Esteem applications, the following message pops up:
To solve this problem, you must install the latest version of nVidia driver which is used by your
graphic card on your pc. It is unclear why such problem occurs.
11. I installed your prerequisites successfully, and yet when I wanted to install my main
application, a message like "prerequisites missing" still occur. How to solve this
problem?
The reason you got this error may be due to the fact that the "m issing" prerequisites may have been
installed on your pc-albelt of different versions. As a result, the windows installer may refer to the
wrong prerequisites when it installs the main application.
To solve this problem, uninstall all the versions of the prerequisites and reinstall the application again.
To uninstall the prerequisites, go to Control Panel->Add/ Remove Program, remove all the
prerequisites.
Note: You may want to check whether other applications depend on the different versions of
prerequisites.
12. Error HRESULT: 0xc8000222 occurred when install Microsoft .Net Framework:
This may occur if the temporary folder of Windows Update has been corrupted. You may refer to
the following steps to solve this error:
1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and right click to run cmd.exe as administrator. Please run the
following command in the opened window.
net stop WuAuServ
2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to SDold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and right click to run cmd.exe as administrator. Please run the
following command in the opened window.
net start WuAuServ
5. Try to install Microsoft .Net Framework again.
13. What should I do if the information I need cannot be found here?
