TLServer Version 1.0 shows no COM Port

SetupTL5.exe installation program assumes that the Java JRE has been installed in the default directory: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\..... ?and will install some Javax.comm related files in the JRE directory in order to utilize the PC's serial port. If you have installed the Java JRE into a different directory, ?then you will have to following the instructions in the README.TXT file found in the folder:

 ? ?C:\TRiLOGI\TL5\java lib

and manually copy the following three files into your Java JRE directory.

 ? ?comm.jar - ?<JRE directory> \lib\ext
 ? ?javax.comm.properties - <JRE directory>\lib
 ? ?win32com.dll - <JRE directory> \bin

Once you have copied these 3 files to the correct location, restart your computer and TLServer and you should be able to see the COM port 1 to 4 in the TLServer.

Note: If you have installed the educational version of TRiLOGI you might already have installed a different version of JRE (the latest at Sun website is version 1.3.1_3 and version 1.4) from that supplied on the CD-ROM. In that case, you may also have to manually copy these files to the correct JRE directory, or remove the JRE installation first and then re-install the version supplied on the CD-ROM.

The " SetupTL5.exe" in TRiLOGI version 5.1/ TLServer 2.0 automatically searches the default Java JRE directory and install the relevant communication library files there ("jspwin.dll"). Hence it is important to install the JRE first BEFORE running the SetupTL5.exe so that the setup program can find the JRE.

If TLServer could not start at all, then try to search your harddrive for the file "jspwin.dll". It should be stored in the following JRE folder:

C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\x86

If you have multiple copies of JRE it may confuse the installation program when it tries to install the "jspwin.dll" file into the correct folder. You can manually copy the jspwin.dll to all the JRE or JDK folders using the above path.

A customer told us that by copying the "jspwin.dll" to the following folder it works better for his Windows XP:

 C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\bin

That is also a possible destination to copy the "jspwin.dll"
