update it. If you select any version update, the installation will jump to step j, if you do not select
any update it will continue to the next step allowing you to perform a new installation.

4.1 APPENDIX A. SERVER INSTALLATION
If the computer where Lantek programs are installed, is connected to a network, the database
folder (usually C:\Lantek\Database) will be shared in the network with the following name:
DATABASE$.
This can be checked just typing in \\ServerName\DATABASE$ in the run command of your O.S,
where ServerName is the name of the computer where the standalone installation has been
performed. If the command is successful, an explorer window will appear showing the contents of
the database files folder.
In that folder a file called Database.ini can be found. Following the contents of the file:
[Database]
These parameters are only necessary for the installer when performing a client installation.
All database connection parameters are stored in a file called lfocus.cfg in Expert main folder.
….
LSystem
[Server Name]; Specifies the server where MSDE or Sql Server is installed.
ServerName
[Database files directory]; Specifies the local folder where the database is created.
33
CAD-CAM User Installation Guide
C:\LANTEK\DATABASE
[Shared server directory]; Specifies the network shared folder where the database has been
created.
DATABASE$
….
If the computer is not connected to a network, the [Shared Server directory] parameter will be
blank or the same as the [Database files Directory] parameter. Both parameters are used only
when creating a new database.
Example:
We have two computers which are connected to network; one will be the server (COMPUTER1)
and the other the client (COMPUTER2).
COMPUTER2: We make a client installation in C:\LANTEK\EXPERT and select that the server
computer will be COMPUTER1. (See step h of client installation).

4.2.1 Features and limitations
Integrated common language runtime (CLR) support. Stored procedures and functions can
be written using your favorite programming language.
Robust and reliable installation using either graphical user interface (GUI) or silent modes.
Deep integration with Visual Studio to provide access to rich data controls like the
DataGridView, DataNavigator, and DataConnector.
Support for disconnected systems with SQL Server Service Broker and Replication.
SQL Server Express Manager, a new, easy-to-use database management and query
analysis tool.
4.3 APPENDIX C. WINDOWS VISTA LIMITATIONS
If you install this software on Windows Vista you must change the appearance of the windows for a
proper visualization. To achieve that go to Control Panel->Appearance and Themes->Display, then
select Windows Classic and press OK.
