3 Installing Eloquence on the Windows 32 bit platform

Installation on Windows NT and Windows 95

This document provides installation instructions for Eloquence on the 32 bit Windows platform. This applies to Windows NT and Windows 95.

Installation Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met before installing the Eloquence software on a system. Failing to do so will either cause the installation process to fail or will prohibit the successfully use of Eloquence.

Installing a Standalone system

A full functional standalone system can only be installed on a Windows NT system, since the Eloquence server programs are not available on Windows 95. However the Eloquence IDE and the Eloquence runtime can also be installed standalone on a Windows 95 system.

In order to configure the TCP/IP protocol, a network adapter is required on Windows. However, if your system does not have a network card installed you can use the following configuration:

Windows NT
On the Windows NT platform you can install the MS Loopback Adapter. You are required to configure an IP address for the Loopback Adapter. We recommend to use an IP address reserved for internal usage (such as 192.168.1.1 with the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0) as defined by RFC 1597.
Windows 95
On the Windows 95 platform you can configure the Dial-Up Adapter as some kind of generic device. This is sufficient to bind the TCP/IP protocol. No further configuration is required.
This makes it possible to install the TCP/IP protocol. You can use the host name "localhost" or the IP number 127.0.0.1 to reference your local system since this is used by TCP/IP to address the local system.
