Classroom Requirements
This course requires a classroom with a minimum of one computer for the instructor and one
computer for each student. Before class begins, install and configure all computers using
the following instructions.
Instructor and Student Computers Hardware Level 3
A Pentium 133 computer
64 MB RAM
A 2 GB hard disk
A MPC2-compatible CD-ROM drive
A network adapter
A superVGA, 256-color monitor
A Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device
For student computers: An MPC2-compatible sound card with headphones is recommended.
A 3 1/2-inch floppy disk drive (Optional, but useful to allow students to take copies of
their work or notebook files home.)
For the instructor computer: An MPC2-compatible sound card with amplified speakers is
required to present multimedia elements.
For the instructor computer: A video projection device that displays 800x600x256c
Software
You will need the following disk sets to follow the setup instructions:
Windows® NT® Server 4.0 CD and setup disks
Microsoft® Visual Studio® 6.0 CD set
MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 release CD set
Mastering Enterprise Development Classroom CD
Reference Materials
All necessary reference materials are included in the Library section of the Mastering
Enterprise Development Using Microsoft Visual Basic 6 CD-ROM.
Setup Instructions
Use the following steps to install and configure each computer.
These software installation instructions are for setting up a single-server computer to
use for labs. Although other, multi-computer configurations can be used, this course is
designed and tested for use on a single, large server running Windows NT Server 4.0.
These instructions are for a computer that has one hard drive containing one partition
formatted with DOS 6.22. If you install on a different configuration, some instructions
may vary.
These instructions assume you are installing software from the disk sets listed in the Software section. If you install the software from a network
share, or Internet location, some of the instructions may differ, particularly the setup
locations. If you install Visual Basic® from the Visual Basic Enterprise Edition CD
rather than the Visual Studio CD, be aware that the OLEView.exe tool will not be
installed. In this case you can install OLEView by running the OVI386.exe program found in
the \Tools\OLEView directory on the Mastering Enterprise Development CD.
The instructor and student machines will have the same software configuration for a
classroom setup. The only exception is the MTS Spy software. MTS Spy is necessary for the
instructor machine for a demonstration in Chapter 4. MTS Spy is not necessary for the labs
on the student machines, but you may choose to install it anyway as a useful tool for
students to study. Software installation must be completed in the order shown below.
The estimated time to set up one computer is approximately 4 hours.
The instructions below list the dialog box or screen as they occur during setup and the
action you need to take at that point. In some cases there is no specific dialog box or
screen name and the instructions simply indicate the action to take during installation.
It is important to follow each step sequentially. You can print out the instructions and
use the Completed column to check off each step as you finish it.

Windows NT displays a list of partitions on the
computer.
Select the partition on which to install Windows NT and
press the Enter key.
Setup will give you the option of converting the

features, but you can leave the partition as FAT if you choose. This will not affect any
labs. To convert the partition to NTFS, choose Convert the partition to NTFS and
press the Enter key.
Next Screen

choose Format the partition using the NTFS file system Windows NT setup will warn
you that formatting the drive will erase all data on it. Be sure that you back up all
data, then press the F key to format the drive.
Windows NT prompts for the location to install the
Windows NT files.
You can enter any folder, but the best choice is the
default \WINNT option. Press the Enter key once the folder is specified.
Windows NT prompts to examine the hard drive for
errors.
You can choose to perform this step or skip it. Press
the Enter key to perform this step.

Enter a password for the Administrator account and
click the Next button. An easy thing for the students is a blank password.
Emergency Repair Disk
Choose the No, do not create an emergency repair
disk option. This avoids creating emergency disks for each student machine. However,
if you want an emergency repair disk, you can choose to create one here. Click the Next
button to continue.

specific questions on dialog boxes.
You will be asked if you are using a DHCP server.
If you decide to create a DHCP server for the classroom, you could set up one computer as
the DHCP server and primary domain controller for the classroom and enter the following IP
addresses into that computer. All other computers would use the DHCP server to obtain
their IP addresses:
DHCP Server Address: 131.107.2.200
Address range to use for computers: 131.107.2.1 - 131.107.2.199
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Another option is to not have a DHCP server or primary domain controller, but to just
configure each computer to use a specific IP address as it is set up. You could use the
same address range above to accomplish this.
Bindings
Leave Bindings at defaults unless you need to
change them, then click the Next Button.

Select the workgroup or domain the computer will
participate in. Then click the Next button.
