stops many viruses.

4. Optimising the interface by: Setting the windows appearance options to basic and disabling

shadow and fade effects.

Install/Upgrade process

When installing or upgrading the system, place an install package into the v:\channel directory.

This package will have a name similar to:

cine.20110101.rar

This file is a rar compressed collection of files that make up the install. The 20110101 portion of

the filename represents the date/version. Other text giving more detail may also be shown such as

cine.20110101.dev.rar representing a development release.

In this rar file are all the files that Bootstrap requires to install the software. One of the files is a

configuration file that manages installation of the files.

Other scripts are also run which:.

1. Check that the network devices are named correctly.

2. Check that the TAP virtual network devices exist for the support VPN link to use.

3. Disable common services not needed. This is a “very” important part of the install as it

disables “auto update” and other services that can interrupt the system. It also stops other

services that viruses could use to infect the system.

4. Sets up the firewall to be “ON” but with open ports for all services the dCine will need.

Again, this is a very important step as it protects against viruses that can travel via RPC etc.

When the BootStrap.exe is started, it will perform this install process if:

1. the dCine has not been installed previously.

2. It sees a new release cine.XXXXXXXX.rar file.

There is a script in the bin directory called “_force_reinstall.reg”. If you open this file, it

will remove the registry setting that records the information about what is currently installed.

Bootstrap will think the software has not been installed and install the cine.XXXXXXXX.rar

package it finds in the v:\channel directory. The “_force_reinstall.reg” script is
