Click on the Yes button for all the next messages.
Choose Start Menu Folder – This is automatically chosen by the Install process. Click on the Install button. Ensure that the “Do not create shortcuts” box is ticked.
Installation begins.
Several pop-up messages may appear, click on OK to all, ensuring they advise that the ‘Setup completed successfully’. If any of the messages say the Setup failed, contact your IT Administrator as you may not have the correct permissions to run this procedure. Click on the Finish button of the Completing Setup window.
Step 2. Register SRP files – Right-click on the OPTO icon on the Desktop of the PC and select “Open File Location”.
Search ‘SRP’ to find the SRPControls.ocx and SRPEditor.ocx files to be registered.
Select the files and copy to the C:\Revsoft\ folder on the local computer (shown below).
To register the SRP*.ocx files, right-click on the Windows start icon shown below and search for the Command Prompt or select from the list (as below)
If OPTO will be run from the local computer, ‘SRPControls.ocx’ must be registered on the local. To assist with future maintenance, also register ‘SRPEditor.ocx’; and, if available, register ‘SRPWebView.ocx’.
At the Command Prompt, from the root folder on C: drive:
C:\> cd \revsoft <enter>
C:\Revsoft> regsvr32 srpcontrols.ocx <enter>
C:\Revsoft> regsvr32 srpeditor.ocx <enter>
