The Entire Net-Work Client installation includes only the components required to run Software AG client applications (Natural and Tamino, for example) that access Adabas databases.
This document covers the following topics:
This section describes how to install Entire Net-Work Clients on Windows systems. Prior to attempting the installation, verify that you have met all of the requirements described in Platform Coverage and Requirements.
Notes:
To install an Entire Net-Work Client on Windows:
Shut down all open applications, especially those applications interacting with or depending on your Adabas databases. This includes Natural, the Adabas DBA Workbench, and prior releases of Entire Net-Work.
Insert the Entire Net-Work Client installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Locate and run the setup.exe file found in the root directory on the CD-ROM.
A Welcome panel appears. The appearance of this panel varies depending on whether this is the first time you have installed an Entire Net-Work component on this machine.
Follow the prompts on the installation panels. The following panels should be noted:
When you get to the Setup Type panel, select Typical if you are only installing a Client and if you want the Client installed in the default directory C:\Program Files\Software AG\Entire Net-Work Client v.r.m\ (where "v.r.m" are the version, release, and maintenance number of Entire Net-Work Client). The types of installation you can perform are described in the following table.
Installation Type | Description |
---|---|
Typical |
Select this option to install an Entire Net-Work Client only. |
Custom |
Allows you to choose particular components to install, including the Entire Net-Work Client, the Software AG Directory Server, and the System Management Hub and allows you to direct the installation to a specific directory and to specify a program folder name for the installation. |
If you want to install other Entire Net-Work Client components at the same time or if you want to install any Entire Net-Work Client components in a directory other than the default directory, select Custom on the Setup Type panel.
On the Select Features panel, if it appears, select the components you want to install. You must select the Client Mode component.
If you attempt to install the management components on the same machine as an Entire Net-Work Client, a warning message appears. We recommend that management components be installed on a separate system from the other Entire Net-Work components.

Warning: If you deselect a component already selected when the Select Features panel first appears, that component will be uninstalled when the installation procedure runs. If you do not want to uninstall the component, do not deselect it on this panel; simply select the additional components you want installed. By default, Client Mode is selected when you first access the Select Features panel. If no Client has been installed on this machine, you can safely deselect Client Mode in this instance. |
On the License File Information panel, enter the fully-qualified license file name or click to locate the license file for Entire Net-Work Client.
For more information about the license file, read Entire Net-Work Client License Key.
Indicate whether or not you want to use a named Directory Server for this Client on the Directory Server Detection, Directory Server Access panels

If the installation is not successful, you will receive one of several possible error messages. Contact your local distributor for information about customer support services. If the installation fails, it is likely that some parts of the product will have been installed. Therefore, before you attempt to install the Entire Net-Work Client again, run the installation program to remove it. See Uninstalling Entire Net-Work Client for instructions on removing the product.
