General > Network installation

Use the installation program (TVSETUPxxxx.EXE) to install Turboveg for Windows on the server. Then make a shortcut to Turboveg on each working station where the program will be used. The program TVWIN32.EXE is by default present in the directory <network drive>:\TURBOWIN\BIN\.

Activate the property window of the Turboveg shortcut and make sure that the working directory is not the same as the program package-containing directory. You can set the working directory under "Properties"->"Shortcut"->"Start in"

TVWIN32.EXE can be executed with a parameter, e.g. ‘C:\TURBOWIN’. In this case Turboveg will be forced to store its initialisation file – TVWIN.INI – in the directory C:\TURBOWIN. If Turboveg is executed without a parameter the Windows directory will be used to store the initialisation file.

After the installation the following directory structure can be build on the server (the set-up program copies all the files on to one drive, and one directory).

all manager remarks

F:\TURBOWIN\BIN RO RO

\HELP RO RO

\IDENTIFY RO RO

\MAPS RO RO

G:\TURBOWIN\USERS RW RW (incidentally used to administrate a new user)

H:\TURBOWIN\POPUP RO RW

I:\TURBOWIN\SPECIES RO RW (incidentally used to change the properties

of the ecological database)

J:\TURBOWIN\DATA RW RW (this directory holds the common databases)

RO=ReadOnly RW=ReadWrite (including Create rights)

The subdirectories HELP, IDENTIFY, and MAPS are linked to the subdirectory \BIN (containing executables) and can therefore NOT be located on another disk or subdirectory.

If desired, all other subdirectories that are not directly linked to the subdirectory \BIN can be moved to other disks.

In addition, on every working station the following directory structure can be build:

C:\TURBOWIN\DATA (the directory that holds the private databases)

\OLD_SELS

Start Turboveg on the desired working station. The first time Turboveg is executed directories have to be defined. In most cases the default directories can be accepted.
