Demo Installation

This document summarizes how to use the demo installer code for creating installation packages.
This code is intended to be run on a windows machine. So copy the code from isip_demo_installer directory to a windows desktop and follow the instructions given below.
Installation of Makemsi:
To create a package for the client code you need to have makmsi installed. Go to the site http://users.cyberone.com.au/dbareis/makemsi.htm . This is the official website of the makemsi group. If you want to learn more about the software, you can browse through this site. They have a basic tutorial in there. They also have a yahoo user group. The link for this group can be found in the website.
Creating the package:
Once you have installed makemsi, you are ready to create your installation package for the demo. Put all your client code including the compile.bat and selector_ui.bat in a certain path. Now open demo.MM in emacs. You need to change couple of things here:
1) search for "#define SourceRootDir". Change the path to the path where your cleitn code resides.
2) search for "selector_ui.bat" and change the path so that it points to the path where you have the client code.
Once this is done, you should be good to go. Now right click on the demo.MM. You can see the "Buil MSI -Development" option pop up. Say a prayer and right click on the link. You can see a dos window open up and the installation package is built. This may take several minutes. Hope you see green captions and never find red wording in the dos window. If you found one, you have encountered a fatal error and all the best in debugging it. I would recommend you interact with the user group if you cannot find a solution.
Once the above process is done successfully, you can find the created package in "out" directory.
Installing the demo:
Installation of the demo is a smooth process except for a couple of things. As you go through the installtion make sure you enter the path where java and galaxy communicator software are installed. The java and the galaxy paths are needed ofor the demo to run. After a successful installtion, you can see an icon for the demo in the start menu. Click on the icon. A dos window opens which is shortly followed by a user interface. If the dos window gives an error "System cannot find the specified path", you are going wrong in setting the path for java and galaxy communciator. Rerun the installer and double check the path you have entered..
Good luck installing..
