Installation
Before to start the installation, you must be aware that all the applications are been tested under Windows 98. In theory, it works under Windows 2000 but I have not already checked this.
Installation of DirectX
Hyperion requires the installation of the DirectX v.8 on your computer. Moreover it is useful to install an application that could display DirectX files. I have chosen Direct3D RM Viewer; this application could be found in the DirectX8 SDK.
Configuration of the environment variables
You must define two environments variables called HYP_REG and HYP_CERR.
- The first one is the directory to emulate the Windows Registry.
- The second is the path for different log files of the applications. I have added these lines to my autoexec.bat:
SET HYP_REG=c:\hyp_registry\
SET HYP_CERR=c:\
Anti-virus could cause some problems during the definition of these environment variables. You must reboot your computer to active the environment variables.
Copy of the binary files
With Winzip for example, extract the entire Hyperion package in a path.
Registration of the components
-
Todo:
-
update of the procedure!
Like COM components, you must register the Hyperion components. To do that, execute the application called hypregserver.exe with the following parameters:
- The full path of the different servers of components (i.e. hypfem.dll and hypout.dll)
- The r option (r like register)
On my computer, I have opened the console and I have typed: G:\works\hyperion\bin\hypregserver.exe G:\works\hyperion\bin\hypfem.dll r
G:\works\hyperion\bin\hypregserver.exe G:\works\hyperion\bin\hypout.dll r
Check if the path pointed by the environment variables called HYP_REG has been created and if some files have been generated.
If not, email me and I will try to resolve the problem.
