Installation Overview

There are four parts to the installation process:

• Install DLL program
• Merge gINT library objects
• Merge gINT project table objects to your project file and your data template
• Activate the product license

The first three steps can be performed in any order and are described below. The activation procedure must be done last and is described in the License System User Guide.

Package Contents

Your software purchase may have come with the following contents:

• ZIP download which normally has the following folders: \gINT Files\Documentation\Installation files
• A hardware license key

Before Installation

A few basic preparations can help ensure an effortless installation.

• Make sure that the computer where you plan to install the program meets the minimum hardware and software requirements.
• Connect your PC to Internet before installation (must have a working Internet connection).

The Monitoring Tool requires that the Microsoft .NET 4.5.1 framework is installed on the PC prior to the installation of the Tool. If your PC does not have this, then it will be automatically downloaded and installed during the Tool installation process.

• Log into the PC with Administrator privileges before starting installation.
• It is recommended that you exit out of other applications that maybe running on your PC.
• Close gINT before you start installation.
• Keep the serial number and license number handy.

Merge gINT Library Objects

If you have purchased the Monitoring Tool gINT Add-In, then you have full access to the library objects, and you may proceed with the following steps to merge the gINT Library components into your Library file.

1. Make a backup copy of your existing library file. By default this is located at:
   C:\Program Files\gINT\libraries\
2. Start gINT and open the library and project file you wish to use with Datgel Monitoring Tool gINT Add-In.
   The opened project and library files are displayed at the top of the gINT Window.
   
3. Select UTILITIES | Lib Merge/Copy.
   
4. Check the bullet that reads Merge From.
5. In the Source Library File pane, browse the installation ZIP download for file Datgel Monitoring Tool lib #.##.glb where #.## is the version number.
6. Check the bullet that reads Select All.
7. Check the bullet that reads Query On Overwrite.
8. Click button to move all tables from the Available Source Tables pane on the left to the Tables to Merge/Copy pane on the right side.
   
9. Click Execute. This process may take several minutes to complete.
   Take care to read the overwrite dialog and click Yes if you wish to overwrite the file, ELSE click No.
   
   This will merge in the lookup lists, Add-In menu item, and gINT Rules modules which are all related to the Tool.
10. Click OK to finish the merge.
    

Merge gINT Project Tables

1. Make a backup copy of your existing project file. By default this is located at:
   C:\Program Files\gINT\projects\
2. Start gINT and open the library and project file you wish to use with Datgel Monitoring Tool.
3. Select DATA DESIGN | Project Database.
4. Select File > Open File > Current Project… to open your current project file.
5. Select Tables > Import Multiple Tables... then browse the installation ZIP download and select the file Monitoring Tool #.##.gpj

6. As a minimum, select the following tables to import and click OK.
   
   When prompted with a dialog box, similar to the one below, click OK. This will import predefined project table data that can be used during data entry. 
   
   

   If you chose to edit the data and/or add to it, you will need to ensure that you update your data template so that any changes/additions are available in all future projects that are cloned from your data template.

   The WATER_STRIKE, PROGRESS and ROTARY_FLUSH tables are associated with the operation of the Monitoring Tool but you may already have similar tables in your project file. However, these tables are referenced in the Log Report Blocks DG MON WELL INSTALLATION and DG FLUSH RETURN 7 MM and if you chose not to merge these tables then you may need to update the field references in these blocks to ensure that the Monitoring Tool works with your custom project database.

Activate License

After installation (and before using the Monitoring Tool Add-in), activate the user license as described in License Administration.

Product Compatibility Upgrade

This upgrade is necessary if you install a new Datgel product after February 2015, and also have an existing Datgel product from prior to February 2015. The change is necessary as a result of changes to the Microsoft.NET framework.

There are two scenarios, based on your system privileges.

Scenario 1: you do not have privileges to do the upgrade.

The following message is displayed after starting a Datgel product.

1. Click OK.
2. Advise your system administrator that the upgrade is needed.

Scenario 2: you do have privileges to do the upgrade.

The following message is displayed after starting a Datgel product.

1. Click Yes.
   The procedure must be completed by a user that has administrative privileges for the PC.
   The software makes a backup copy of the existing gINT configuration file and inserts the changes Datgel software needs.
   The following message is displayed if the process completes successfully.
   
2. Click OK.
3. Restart gINT.
