2. ADVANCE Clients October 2002 Information 
*******************************************
Notes: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
a)  For the AdvClients or GeoPac to display XML records properly, you must
    have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 sp2 or later installed prior to running the Setup
    on this CD. You must run xmlinst.exe if you install IE5.5 sp2 after the
    ADVANCE clients are installed. This is located on the installation CD under
    \setup\System Files\. The client setup program will notify you if it
    detects a version of Explorer earlier than Explorer 5.5.  

b) The ADVANCE 6.05 clients require either the 2.7 version of 
    Microsoft's MDAC control.  While the CD includes the 2.7 MDAC in
                  \setup\misc\MDAC\mdac_typ.exe
    which will update the workstation's MDAC to 2.7, the security problems 
    described in Microsoft Security Bulliten MS02-65, 
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms02-065.asp,
    suggest that the latest 2.7 version of the MDAC control should be obtained 
    from Microsoft and installed on the workstation.
		

c) If you are using AdvCat 6.05, you should also update MSJet by running
                     \setup\misc\DAO\Jet40Sp3_comp.exe
    located on your installation CD or 6.05 installation directory on your network.
    Note: Install mdac first, then run Jet40Sp3_comp.exe

d) Since Microsoft has withdrawn its Arial Unicode MS font as a product that 
    can be freely redistriuted, this font is not installed with AdvClients 6.05. 
    The font is available as part of the XP operating system and as an installation
    option with Office 2000 and Office 2002.  This font were install as part of the 
    ADVANCE 6.04 Client installation.  The Arial Unicode MS font is used in the 
    ADVANCE client XML displays, but are otherwise not necessary for
    proper functioning of the ADVANCE clients.

e) Setup may prompt you to restart your machine before starting up the 
    clients. This will clear up a potential display alignment issue with z3950  
    search results displays.

f)  This setup CD contains either all or some of the AdvClients 6.05 OR
    the GeoCat Release 6.05/GeoPac 6.05 clients with the following version numbers.
