Welcome To Geomet Version 4.0

Installation Overview

Note: This document is intended to serve as a quick checklist during installation for those individuals who have prior experience working with both Microsoft Windows and the Geomet Software. Detailed installation instructions can be found in the Geomet User’s Guide and in the Geomet Online Manuals.

The Geomet Version 4.0 installation is a four step process.

  1. Geomet Installation
  2. To start the installation, insert the Geomet CD. The CD is not designed with an auto-start feature. The setup program for Geomet Version 4.0 can be found on the Geomet CD in the main directory. Run the Setup.exe application which will begin the installation process.

  3. Geomet Service Release Installation
  4. In order for the Geomet application to operate properly, the Geomet Service Release must be installed. This can be found on the Geomet CD under the SVR1 folder. Open the SVR1 folder and run the setup program setup_SVR1.exe. This will begin the installation process for the Geomet Service Release.

    Note: You must choose the ‘setup_SVR1.exe’ file located under the SVR1 directory to install the Geomet Service Release.

  5. GeoClean Authorization
  6. To enter the authorization codes, start the GeoClean application from the task bar:

    Start -> Programs -> Geomet 101 -> GeoClean

    Select Enter Authorization Codes from the top menu to begin the authorization process.

    Note: For Upgrade Users only: Select Registry Tools -> Rebuild Toolbars to update your new Geomet Version 4.0 software with your previous settings.

  7. Online Manual Installation

Before installing the manuals themselves, make sure to accept the Adobe Software License Agreement by starting the Adobe Acrobat Reader application. The Online Manuals can be found on the Geomet CD in the Manuals folder. Open the Manuals folder and run the setup program setup_Manuals.exe. This will begin the installation process for the Geomet Online Manuals.
