We strongly suggest you actually
install the Directory Server on a Windows NT system as you go through this
module.
|
Try This:
When you use your browser
to save a copy of the installation software, use the "New Folder" feature
to make a temporary folder where you can unpack the installation software. |
You can delete the files
in the temporary folder once the installation is complete, but don't
do that until you're sure the Server is running.

Getting The Installation Software
Locate The Installation Software
The term "installation software" refers to the single large
zipped file that you'll find on the network or on the Netscape Directory
Server 4.0 CD. There are two possible sources for the installation
software: the network or CD.
-
Network: If you have network access, you can download
the Directory 4 software from the iPlanet Test Drive site.
Be sure to select the Directory 4 International Edition for Windows NT,
d40eie.zip (32 MB).
You will have to register with the Test Drive site before you can download
the software.
-
CD: If you're using a Directory Server CD, the installation
file is in the ntx86 folder.
Open the ntx86 folder and look for the directry folder.
Inside this folder you'll find a single zip file, d40eiu.zip or
d40diu.zip.
Copy The Installation Software
Once you've found a network source for the distribution software,
use the Save As function on your browser to download it into your
staging
directory. It's a good idea to create a temporary folder to
keep all the installation components together. You can do this as
part of the "Save As..." operation.
If you're using a CD-ROM, simply copy the zip file into your
temporary folder.
 |
You should now have a single zip file in your
temporary folder. The filename will be d40eiu.zip for export
versions; d40diu.zip for domestic versions. |
Extract The Installation Software
Double-click on the icon representing the zipped installation
file. The WinZip utility program should unzip the file for you.
Be sure to use the Select All... function to extract all the files
in this archive.
After you've extracted the installation software you should
have a bunch of new files in the temporary folder. Here's what
this folder looks like:

In the next section we'll run the setup.exe program which actually
installs the Directory Server.
