Standalone Client

 Top  Previous  Next

On Windows, the installation steps are:

 

•Run the uf90c_setup.exe installer program.
•Run the Configure UnForm Client option from the Start menu, which starts Notepad with the uf90c.ini file.  Enter the appropriate values for the server and port, and optionally the log file.

 

On Windows, the uf90c.ini file is stored in the %PROGRAMDATA%\SDSI folder.  Typically, this would be C:\ProgramData\SDSI\uf90c.ini.

 

The client is installed in the selected folder, and an attempt is also made to copy the uf90c.exe file to the System32 and SysWow64 directories to enable path-free execution.  However, on some systems this does not work for a setup script, so you can take one of several approaches:

 

•Use full paths to the uf90c.exe executable
•Copy uf90c.exe from an existing path to the Windows\System32 directory
•Edit the system PATH environment variable to include a directory where the uf90c.exe files reside

 

Note that the uf90cc.exe console client is installed under the uf90cc folder in the install path.  It includes the executable and require dll files.  This structure changed at 9.0.36.

 

Unbundled Perl Client

Included with the Windows client install is the standard uf90c.pl script included with UnForm on Linux.  This script can be run on Windows if you install a Perl interpreter, such as ActiveState community edition, or Strawberry Perl.  The uf90c.exe program will automatically look for one of these in standard install paths, or you can update the uf90c.ini file to include the perl=path\to\perl.exe.  You can also run a perl command line from console mode:

 

path_to_perl.exe path_to_uf90c.pl followed by standard client command line arguments.
