Adding Files for the New Software Package

To make the newer DataSplice version available to the client devices with Windmill, the available packages must be updated on the Windmill Server. In most cases, the Windmill Server being used is hosted by DataSplice. In such cases, it is not necessary to perform any package updates in this step. Rather, it is necessary to notify DataSplice at support@datasplice.com when to make the updated packages available to your existing Windmill group(s).

If a local installation of the Windmill Server is being used, the package files need to be updated accordingly. For the sake of simplicity, this explanation assumes that the new build is number 98, and that the mapped W:\ drive location points to the wwwroot directory for Windmill on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS).

  • On the Windmill Server computer, open Windows Explorer and browse to W:\.
  • Browse to Windmill\files\DataSplice3.
  • Create a folder for the new file version, such as Build98.
  • Browse into this new folder.
  • Open another Windows Explorer window and browse to the installation directory on the DataSplice Server computer (or an equivalent workstation in which all DataSplice components have been installed).
  • On the DataSplice Server computer, browse into the WindowsCE folder and copy the ppc and hpc sub-folders.
  • Return to the Windows Explorer window on the Windmill Server, in the newly-created folder. Paste the ppc and hpc folders into this location.
  • Browse to W:\Windmill\files\DataSplice3\skel and copy the cleanup_files.bat file.
  • Browse to W:\Windmill\files\DataSplice3\Build98 and paste the file.
  • Double-click the cleanup_files.bat file to execute it. If it runs successfully, it should create a Resources folder.
  • Delete the cleanup_files.bat file from this folder after it runs successfully. The new version of the DataSplice package is now available.
