IP Database Format
The IP database has changed between versions 3.5 and 3.4 and while version 3.5 will
read a 3.4 database version 3.4 will not read a 3.5 database. Any 3.4 database will be
converted to a 3.5 compatible format the first time the program saves data into a well
data file.
It is not necessary to un-install an older version of IP before loading version 3.5,
IP version 3.5 default installation paths are:
It is recommended that you install Version 3.5 to this new folder if you would like to keep
your existing version 3.4 intact.
There are different versions of Windows Vista (Vista Business / Vista Ultimate, for
example). If you have issues with installing IP with these Operating Systems then try
switching off the UAC and installing IP. Seek a competent local Windows Vista IT expert
to help with this. Alternatively, use this website http://www.vista4beginners.com/Howto-disable-UAC .
When installing version 3.5 please log on as the System Administrator. The install
program needs to register some DLLs and install the Microsoft .Net Framework
which may be prohibited by the operating system for certain user logons. The Install
process should warn you if you do not have Administrator Rights on your computer.
Microsoft .NET Framework V2.0
IP v3.5 requires the Microsoft .Net Framework V2.0, if it is not already installed on
your PC it will be installed for you.
Microsoft DirectX V9c
DirectX 9c with Managed Components is now required for the IP Map View display
and 3D Image Viewer modules. The install will prompt you to install DirectX
components if DirectX is not detected on your computer. If you choose to install DirectX
9c it will be installed on your PC during the Installation process. If you choose not to
install DirectX at this time you can manually run the DXSETUP.exe from the
C:\Program Files\IntPetro\DirectX9 folder and also run MDXredist.msi from the same
folder.
