Visual MODFLOW General Installation Instructions

General Installation

This document provides detailed instructions for installing Visual MODFLOW on your
computer. The following topics will be covered:

• Installing from the CD-ROM
• Stand-Alone Installations
• Network Installations (Server)
• Network Installations (Client)

Visual MODFLOW General Installation Instructions

Visual MODFLOW now incorporates software networking, giving your organization
more flexibility to manage and run Visual MODFLOW over a network. Network
Installations are extremely useful for maintaining version control from a single point.

Network Installations are used when one or more licenses of Visual MODFLOW are
required to run over a network. The Network Server acts as the source computer on
which all Visual MODFLOW installation files are placed. Client Installations are used
to run Visual MODFLOW over the Network on the Client computers. The Client
Installations run Visual MODFLOW from the Server, using system files and resources
of the Server. Client Installations install only a minimum set of required system files.

Stand-Alone Installations are used when a single license of Visual MODFLOW is
required to run on a single computer. Stand-Alone Installations install all of the
required application files and the system files on each Stand-Alone computer.

Network Installations: Installing a Network Client

To use Visual MODFLOW on additional computers over the Network, you will be

begin the installation following steps [1] through [5].

NOTE: Before installing a Network Client Installation, you must map a drive to

the location where the Network Server was installed. For example, a
Network Server Installation is installed on drive G: on a computer called
Server1. Client computers must have a network drive mapped to Server1’s
drive G:. This drive must remain mapped for as long as the Client / Server
Installations are used. For more information, see your Systems
Administrator or the Windows On-Line Help.

[16] Once in the Select Installation Type window, begin the Visual MODFLOW

Client Installation by clicking on the [Network] and [Client] buttons. To
