If some reason, you are unable or unwilling to execute the normal ATE installation, you can perform a manual installation by following the steps list below. This procedure assumes that the PC is otherwise equipped with the standard Microsoft runtime modules needed by typical Windows program, although the .Net Framework is not required.
Step 1
Copy the %ATE% directory tree to the target computer (from a CD, network, etc.)
Step 2
Execute the following commands in the Start...Run command dialog, replacing %ATE% with the actual ATE base directory you are using (typically c:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE):
REGSVR32 "%ATE%\bin\FtpDLXcall.dll"
REGSVR32 "%ATE%\bin\wodFtpDLX.dll"
REGSVR32 "%ATE%\bin\wodTunnel.dll"
"%ATE%\bin\ashw32.exe" -regserver
The REGSVR32 commands will display a confirmation message box, but the last command will give no response.
Step 3
Edit the %ATE%\miame.ini file to make sure that the directories point to the right place. The typical miame.ini starts out like this:
SERIAL=0000NDEMONSTRATIONXXABCD00000000
CONAME=C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\CONAME.DAT
FILES=20,020 files, 0 ISAM
ERSATZ=C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\DSK0\001004\ERSATZ.INI
LANGUAGE=C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\DSK0\001006\ENGLSH.LDF
CONSOLE=NETUNIQUE,PCTDVG
DEVICE=DSK0 C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\DSK0\
ALIAS=FTPDLX:FtpDLXcall.FTP
.... etc
QUEUE=10,DISK:C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\BIN\QFLOCK.SYS
.... etc
Step 4
Create a shortcut to launch ATE. Assuming the default directory and the standard icon, your Target line should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE\bin\ATE.exe" -g ACORN
And the Start In directory should be:
C:\Program Files\MicroSabio\ATE
For additional information, see the discussion on a manual ATE installation on the MicroSabio forum.
