Oracle 10g is not supported for Drilling applications.

Third-Party Applications and Why They Are Needed

A number of third-party applications must be installed prior to installing EDM or the Drilling and Completions
applications. If Third-Party Components have not been installed, the Engineers Desktop 2003.16
installation will not continue. Failure to install these applications prior to running the EDM Database and
applications will cause problems when using the database, applications, and tools.

The Third-Party installation is available on each of the Engineers Desktop Installation CDs (Volumes 5 and
6). This install can be run from the Landmark splash screen, which appears when the CD is inserted. To run
the installation, select Engineers Desktop - 3rd Party (located on the left side of the Landmark splash
screen), then click Install (on the right side of the screen) and follow the prompts.

R2003.16 Page 5 of 17 June 2006

Landmark

Once the Third-Party install has completed, a reboot is necessary to launch the installation of Microsoft
Visual J# .NET Redistribution Package 1.1. This tool is necessary to run EDM Publishing Service and
Report Manager. Click Yes to install Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistribution Package 1.1 and follows the
prompts.

The major third-party applications are discussed below.

Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 (MDAC)

MDAC supplies the database drivers that are certified to use with the Engineers Desktop. Landmark
does not support the use of any other driver versions.

Crystal Reports 11.5

Crystal Reports 11.5 is the runtime component that is used by the Engineers Desktop Output Reporting
engine. This component is required by OpenWells, PROFILE, WELLPLAN, COMPASS, EDM
Publishing Service, and iWellFile.

Draft
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

The .NET Framework provides an execution environment for various Engineers Desktop applications
and services (e.g., EDM Services Controller, EDM Publishing Service, and each of the EDM Services).

Landmark LAM 2003

Landmarks License Application Manager (LAM) is based on Globetrotter Softwares FLEXlm licensing
server package. LAM installation files are included in the Third-Party installation. Information on
installing LAM is located in the LAM 2003 GuideUNIX and Windows manual. This manual is included
with the Release 2003 box of materials. An Adobe .PDF version of this document is included on the
OpenBooks CD.

Release 2003.0 requires FLEXlm 7.2e. FLEXlm 7.2e server and license files incorporate new security
enhancements used by Release 2003.0. As a result, Release 2003.0 applications will not work on
earlier versions of FLEXlm.

If you are using a FLEXlm dongle (bitlock), you must install FLEXlm 7.2i on the standalone or client
machine.

Bitlocks and OpenWorks

Bitlocks are not supported by OpenWorks. Clients who want to

connect to OpenWorks must use regular network licenses, and not
USB bitlocks.

Therefore, clients using OpenWire, Engineers Link, EDM to

OpenWorks, and COMPASS Live Link must use Network licences.

Miscellaneous

EDM Install shield and MSDE Install Requirements

The Engineers Desktop installation always copies required support files into the Windows installation
directory. This is in addition to disk space required for the EDM program files, which go into a separate
directory. The installation of EDM and MSDE support files requires approximately 30 MB of disk space for
files, as well as an additional 50 MB for temporary files created by the installation.

MSDE Install Behavior with SQL Server Client/SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine or MSDE is the standalone database provided with the Engineers
Desktop R2003.16.0 release. MSDE is a technology that provides local data storage that is compatible with
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and above. It is designed and optimized for use on smaller computer systems,
including a single-user computer or small workgroup server.

MSDE installation issues impacting PCs with SQL Server installed are listed in MSDE Installation Issues
in the EDM Installation Guide.

Upgrading the EDM Database

This installation is NOT an upgrade from a previous version of the Engineers Data Model. The EDM
Installation is meant for new users of the Engineers Data Model. If you are currently using a pre-2003.14.0
version of the EDM database, you must upgrade your EDM database to 2003.14.0 or 2003.14.1.0 prior to
upgrading to the 2003.16 release.

Note that once the EDM database has been upgraded to 2003.16, you will no longer be able to access it
using the 2003.14 applications. Consequently, if you intend to run both 2003.14 and 2003.16 applications,
you should make a copy of your 2003.14 database and upgrade the copy to 2003.16. This leaves your
original 2003.14 database accessible by 2003.14 applications. Landmark supports concurrent installs of

Draft
2003.14 and 2003.16 versions.

For information on upgrading the Engineers Data Model, or migrating data to the 2003.16 version of EDM,
refer to Planning the EDT Installation (EDT_PlanningInstall.pdf), and the EDM Drilling Database Guide
(EDM_Drilling_Database.pdf).

Installing With Previous Versions

When installing Engineers Desktop EDM 2003.16 on a machine that contains a previous version of EDM,
verify that 2003.16 is installed in a different directory and given a unique Programs Folder. CAUTION: If the
same installation directory and Programs Folder are used, the previous version will be overwritten. This
install scenario is not recommended.

Before you can upgrade your existing EDM version, the database must first be upgraded to at least
2003.14.0.

Microsoft Security Warnings When Installing

A security warning may appear when trying to install software, due to security restrictions imposed by recent
Microsoft security updates:

Security Warning: Do you want to run this software?

Simply click Run to proceed with the EDM installation.

Online Help Viewing Problems Due to Microsoft Security Updates

R2003.16 Page 13 of 17 June 2006

Landmark

Some Microsoft security updates cause problems for the following online Help files:

WebHelp, which is comprised of uncompiled HTML files (Windows XP SP 2 platform)

HTMLHelp (.chm) files accessed from a server machine (all platforms).

These issues are discussed in detail below.

Windows XP SP2 Default Security Settings Block Some Online Help (WebHelp)

Windows XP SP2 includes improvements to Internet Explorer security that are intended to help most users
by stopping local web pages that contain active content from accessing your computer maliciously. Active
content includes Java Script, Java applets and ActiveX controls. Even very innocuous Java Script such as
that found in online help is deemed by Microsoft to be active content, and will trigger this security setting.
OpenWells and EDM Administration Utility use WebHelp files of this type.

When you try to open the help file in either of these two applications, Internet Explorer displays a light-yellow
information bar, warning you that it is blocking active content. (Note that this behavior only occurs in Internet
Explorer, not in other browsers, such as NetScape or Mozilla). The following graphic illustrates the behavior.

Internet Explorer pops up this

Draft
information bar and blocks the
content.

Temporary Solution

If you want to view the help file, click the bar and select Allow Blocked Content from the drop-down menu.
A warning dialog will appear, which you must acknowledge by clicking Yes. Now you will be able to view
the help page. This will occur each time you access the help.

Permanent Solutions

You may choose to permanently allow Internet Explorer to view Active Content on local files. This will
prevent the warning from appearing again. There are two permanent solutions you can choose from:

Solution 1: Turn off the security check for active content in the Internet Explorer

Solution 2: Replace the WebHelp provided by Landmark with FlashHelp provided by Landmark on CD
Vol 5. This solution requires you to download the Flash plug-in from the Macromedia website.

Details follow.

R2003.16 Page 14 of 17 June 2006

Landmark

Permanent Solution 1
To turn off the active content security check in the Internet Explorer for the local machine:

1. From the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, select Internet Options.

2. Navigate to the Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog and then scroll down to the
Security section.

3. Enable the checkbox labeled Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.

Please note that this may allow malicious active content in files on your local computer to cause
problems, so you should only do this if you feel confident in your computer's security measures.

Permanent Solution 2
You can replace the WebHelp files for OpenWells and EDM Admin Utility with FlashHelp files (requires
Flash plug-in version 6 or higher to be installed on your machine). To do this, proceed as follows:

Download Flash Plug-in:

1. Find out if you have Flash plug-in version 6 or higher installed:

Draft
Open http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome in your Internet Explorer browser.

In the Macromedia Flash Player box, move the mouse over the About box to show the
currently installed version.

2. If you already have the Flash plug-in installed, proceed to Step 3. If not, go to Macromedias
website (http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/) to download the plug-in:

Under Download Free Players select Macromedia Flash Player.

Uncheck Yahoo! TOOLBAR (Not required for operation of Flash Player).

Click Install Now, and follow any prompts.

Replace WebHelp Files with FlashHelp Files:

3. Files for replacing WebHelp with FlashHelp in the EDM Administration and OpenWells
applications can be found on the Volume 6 CD directory \Products\EDT\Docs. The following
outlines the procedure for replacing WebHelp with FlashHelp for these applications.

Copy the files FlashHelp.exe and InstallFlashHelp.bat to a temporary directory on the drive
containing the Engineers Desktop 2003.16 applications. For the OpenWells application,
use the files found in the \\Products\EDT\Docs\OpenWells Help folder on the CD. For the
EDM Administration application, use the files found in the \\Products\EDT\Docs\EDM
Admin Help folder on the CD.

Run the InstallFlashHelp.bat file from the temporary location. This file will rename the
current WebHelp folder and extract the FlashHelp to the applications help folder.

R2003.16 Page 15 of 17 June 2006

Landmark

Follow the prompts in the batch file.

Launch the application help system to verify that the new help system is working.

Now when you access the Help files from EDM Administration Utility or OpenWells, FlashHelp versions
of the help will open, and the security check will not be triggered.

Cannot Open Help Files Located On A Server After You Install Security Update
896358 Or Security Update 840315

For Windows 2000/XP and Windows 2003 Server, installing recent Microsoft security updates (896354
and 840315) mean that .chm files (HTMLHelp) may not display correctly under some circumstances.
The problems do not occur if the help files are on a local drive (rather than a mapped drive).

After installing these Microsoft security updates on a server machinewhere .chms (HTML Help files)
are stored for viewing and downloadingif you open a .chm file sitting on that server, you will receive
an Action Cancelled error on the .Help file's viewer frame. The TOC and Index display normally. No

Draft
matter which topic you try to view using the TOC or Index, an Unable to open this web page message
appears in the .Help file's viewer frame. This problem does not occur if the help files are on a local drive
(rather than a server or mapped drive).

The reason for this is that the Microsoft security updates disable all Internet Security zones except the
Local Machine zone.

If the help files reside on a server or mapped drive, you can apply the fixes suggested in one or more
of the following Microsoft knowledge base articles in order to access the help:

KB902225 if the help file does not open at all

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902225)

KB896054 if the help file opens, and displays the index but no contents
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054)

IMPORTANT! The Microsoft Knowledge Base fixes (KB896054 and KB902225) require
adjusting the registry on the server machine.

Be aware that you cannot solve this problem by adjusting the Security Zones feature in Internet Options in
Internet Explorer. It MUST be done via the servers registry. There is no other workaround other than moving
the Help files to the local machine.
