Ability to locate and copy the installation software onto the target system. Ability to extract the installation software.
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.
