=====================================
Installing/Uninstalling the Software
=====================================
Imaging for Windows may be installed on Windows 98SE, 
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a, Windows 2000 or 
Windows XP Service Pack 1. You must be a local 
administrator to install the software.

To install Imaging for Windows on a system where another 
version of Imaging for Windows resides, you should uninstall 
the other version before installing this version of Imaging for 
Windows.  Not uninstalling other versions may cause unexpected
results to occur in Imaging.

For additional information, refer to the Getting Started Guide, 
GSTRTGD.PDF, located in the CD's root folder.  To view and 
print the Getting Started Guide, you must have Adobe's Acrobat
Reader.  You may download this from www.adobe.com.


Installation Notes
------------------
Imaging for Windows 2.8 installs in its own directory. 

Silent mode installs exist for both the base Imaging for 
Windows and Imaging 1.x Server Access components. If 
setup.exe is invoked with the "-s" switch, the install will 
execute without prompting the user. Before running the 1.x 
Server Access silent install, modify setup.iss with the proper 
Server Address for your 1.x Server. The Server Address is the 
machine's IP Address and port number.

WMS Imaging software is not supplied with Imaging for Windows.
However, Imaging for Windows may access WMS Imaging data if 
WMS Client Components are installed on the system. Imaging 
for Windows 2.8 works with WMS Client Components version 6.0 
or later.  

To retain the Standard OCR training file for future usage, copy 
or rename the standard training file before uninstalling an 
Imaging release.  After installing Imaging for Windows, copy 
the previously saved standard training file into the Imaging 
directory. Changes made to custom training files are retained.  

User-defined defaults for Imaging for Windows are lost when 
installing new versions of Imaging for Windows.  If the user 
has defined rubber stamps, for example, they are lost and must 
be recreated in Imaging for Windows.

Upgrading a Windows 98 system with Imaging for Windows installed 
to Windows 2000, requires a re-installation of Imaging for 
Windows.  Some components may appear to operate, but some of 
the Imaging for Windows functionality is inaccessible.

The Imaging 1.x Server Access Installation is only required 
once per system.  On a Windows NT, 2000, or XP system, the 
installation must be executed by a person with Administrator 
rights. As a result, all users on a system will access the 
same 1.x server(s).


Un-install Notes
----------------
On Windows NT, 2000, or XP, the uninstall procedure only clears 
the Imaging preferences and settings for the user who uninstalls 
Imaging for Windows. You must be a local administrator to 
uninstall the software.

NOTES
=====

TIFF JPEG Support
-----------------
When saving images in the TIFF file format with JPEG compression, 
it is optional to save the data following the TIFF 6.0 
specification Technical Note #2. This TIFF JPEG format is part 
of the preliminary TIFF 7.0 specification.  TIFF JPEG 6.0 
without Technical Note #2 remains the default format.


TIFF File Association on Windows XP
-----------------------------------
To enable Imaging to start and display a TIFF file when you click 
on it in Windows Explorer, associate Imaging with the file type 
TIFF. In Windows Explorer, go to the 'File Types' tab of the 
Tools->Folder Options dialog. To link all extensions associated 
with "TIF Image" files, click Advanced.  When the Edit File Type 
dialog appears, select Open, and click Edit.  Enter the 
fully qualified path name for Imaging.exe followed by "%1". 
Please notice that the quotes should be included. So, the path 
should be similar to:  c:\Program Files\Imaging.exe "%1".  
Click OK. To associate only a particular extension with Imaging, 
click Change. When the Open With dialog appears, select IMAGE 
VIEWER from the list, and click OK.


Development Component Names
---------------------------
The names of the Custom Controls for Development Container 
Environments (e.g. VB) changed from the previous version. The 
OCX names and the SAO component names no longer contain 'Kodak', 
i.e. "Kodak Image Admin Control". In Visual Basic these names 
are displayed in the ‘Projects->Components...' and 
'Projects->References...' dialogs for adding controls and 
references into your Visual Basic project. The new descriptive 
names are the following:
   Image Admin Control
   Image Scan Control
   Image Thumbnail Control
   Image Edit Control
   Image Annotation Control
   Image OCR Control
   Image Server Access Object
