GeoMedia Objects Installation Guide

Overview of GeoMedia Objects

Installation

The GeoMedia Objects Installation Guide provides basic information for installing your software.

Before You Install GeoMedia Objects

Verify that your system meets or exceeds the requirements for GeoMedia Objects 6.1.11

listed in the GeoMedia Objects Readme. GeoMedia Objects runs on Windows XP,

Windows Vista , or Windows 7.

Verify that you have Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 Service Pack 2 or higher installed
on your system. See Microsoft documentation for more information on installing and using
.NET.
If you expect to use GeoMedia Objects with MGE, MGDM, MGSM, or ODBC Tabular projects,
or with CAD data that has database attribute linkages, install the Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) drivers that are appropriate for the database-management systems you use with your
data. You can get the appropriate ODBC drivers from your database system vendor.

In order to use the Oracle Object Model data server, you must load the Oracle client software
before installing GeoMedia Objects.
Verify that you have administrator privileges on the system where you want to install
GeoMedia Objects.
Major Release: You must remove previous versions of GeoMedia Objects before installing
the current version. You will not be able to install this version over a previous version. Open
Control Panel and use standard procedures to remove any previous versions of the product.
Minor Release: You do not remove previous versions of GeoMedia Objects before installing
the current minor version. See the GeoMedia Objects Support page for specific installation
instructions for the current minor version.
To check the version of GeoMedia Objects currently installed, go to Control Panel and
use standard procedures to view the version number.

Major and Minor Releases

As stated in the previous section, major releases require a complete removal of the previous
version before installation whereas minor releases are installed over a major release. This
section discusses further differences and explains how to identify your software version.
Both major and minor software releases contain enhancements and fixes. Major releases may
contain more enhancements across a wider area of functionality while minor releases are more
limited to the areas specifically being addressed for the release.
Major releases are full product releases that are made available for delivery on a CD. They are
not available for direct download from the Web. Minor releases are available from the Web.
You can tell if the software on your machine is a major or minor release in Windows XP through
the Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs utility by checking the Show updates check box
at the top of its dialog box to display version information, as in the following Windows XP example.

GeoMedia Objects Installation Guide

Overview of GeoMedia Objects Installation

The first product listing, which has no version number, is a major release. The major release
version number can be reviewed by selecting the major release, then clicking the Click here for
support information link. The second listing, which has a version number, is a minor release.
In Windows 7, open Control Panel and use standard procedures to view the version numbers to
distinguish between the major and minor releases..
You can also go to the SG&I Support page link (http://support.intergraph.com/) of your product for
this information and for downloading minor releases. See the Self-Help Support Tools section for
instructions on accessing this page.

GeoMedia Objects Installation Guide

Installing GeoMedia Objects

Installing GeoMedia Objects

GeoMedia Objects setup uses Windows Installer to install the software.
1. Close all Windows programs.
2. Insert the GeoMedia Objects CD into the CD-ROM drive, or connect to the shared network
folder containing GeoMedia Objects.
3. If you are installing from a shared network drive, or if the installation process does not start
automatically, you can double click the filename Setup.exe.
A message box displays stating the VCRedist.exe file will be loaded. This executable
will load system files needed for GeoMedia Objects to function correctly. If these files have
already been loaded, they will not be reloaded
4. When the GeoMedia Objects Setup dialog box appears, read the instructions and follow the
prompts to install the product where you want it.
You can change the installation folder for each component by selecting the component
and then clicking Browse.
5. When the installation process is complete, click Finish.

Loading GeoMedia Objects on a 64-bit Operating

System
This section provides the system administrator and end user with information on installing and
deploying GeoMedia Objects on a 64-bit operating system. GeoMedia Objects is a 32-bit
application, but it can be run on most 64-bit processors. Loading GeoMedia Objects on a 64-bit
operating system will result in a few changes in folder and license file locations, registry entries,
and use of Microsoft Windows tools.
If you run on a 64-bit operating system, you will need to know the following differences:
Folder Location-Folder structures for GeoMedia Objects are different on 32-bit and 64-bit
operating systems. On a 32-bit operating system, all GeoMedia Objects folders and Common
Files folders install under C:\Program Files. On a 64-bit operating system, these folders install
under C:\Program Files (x86).
License Files-The folder location where you must place the license file for GeoMedia Objects
depends on the operating system. On a 32-bit operating system, place the license file in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intergraph\Ingr_Licenses. On a 64-bit operating system, place
the license file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intergraph\Ingr_Licenses.
Registry Entries-In a similar fashion, GeoMedia Objects and related registry entries are different
on a 64-bit operating system. GeoMedia Objects HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry entries are
unchanged on a 64-bit system, but HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry entries are in a different
location. The new location for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entries for GeoMedia Objects on a
64-bit operating system is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Wow6432Node > Intergraph.
If the FLEXlm entry for GeoMedia Objects licensing needs to be modified for license file location or
concurrent license server reference, it is also in the new location at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >
Software > Wow6432Node > FlexLM license manager.
32-bit Compatible Applications-Any 32-bit compatible operating system application used in
conjunction with GeoMedia has also been relocated on a 64-bit operating system. For example,
ODBCad32.exe is the application used to create ODBC DSNs that may be used for various
GeoMedia warehouse connections. There are two different ODBCad32.exe files on a 64-bit

GeoMedia Objects Installation Guide

Licensing GeoMedia Products

Windows operating system. One normally resides in C:\Windows\System32, the other in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Because a 64-bit operating system can run both 32-bit and 64-bit
applications, a folder is used to distinguish 32-bit applications from 64-bit applications. Operating
system applications available from Windows Explorer views reference 64-bit applications. If you
need to run a 32-bit Windows application, you must browse to the 32-bit folder, and then run the
application from there. The 32-bit Windows applications will be found in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The 64-bit applications will be found in C:\Windows\System32.

Configuring Unicode
All controls in the product that perform the display and entry of either graphic text or attribute text
now support multi-language text (Unicode).
The following is a sample procedure for configuring Unicode:
1. Use Registry Editor (regedit) from the command line to open the registry.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Intergraph.
3. Locate the two String Values GeoMediaUnicodeTextFontName and
GeoMediaUnicodeTextFontSize.
4. If they do not exist, create them by right clicking on Intergraph and then selecting New >
String Value from the right mouse menu.
5. Select GeoMediaUnicodeTextFontName, and from the right mouse menu select Modify.
6. On the Edit String dialog box, type any valid Unicode font, for example Arial Unicode MS, in
the Value data field, and then click OK.
7. Select GeoMediaUnicodeTextFontSize, and from the right mouse menu select Modify.
8. On the Edit String dialog box, type the number of the appropriate font size in the Value data
field, and then click OK.

Licensing GeoMedia Products

The GeoMedia 6.1 suite of applications uses a licensing scheme based on FLEXlm , a popular
license manager used in the software industry. The two modes of FLEXlm licensing used by the
GeoMedia suite of products are nodelocked and concurrent.
Please visit our licensing Web site link (https://sgilicense.intergraph.com) to generate or to
manage your licenses. There are help topics on this page to assist you if you have difficulty in
generating or managing your license.
GeoMedia Objects will run unlicensed (in nodelocked mode only) for a grace period of 30
days after installation. As with any nodelocked license, you cannot use Remote Desktop or
Terminal Services; this functionality requires a concurrent license.
