Known Issues
Help Files
The help files (with the extension
.hlp)
are not compatible with or supported
by Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server
2008 R2.
The help files were created in Windows Help format, which uses the Help file
viewer. Microsoft stopped including the 32-bit Help file viewer in Windows
releases beginning with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
You can download the Help file viewer from Microsoft at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607.
Stored32
Under Windows 7 the Stored32 program has limited access to the PCMCIA
flash memory, and can access the memory only when the system is running
under the actual administrator account. PCMCIA flash memory cannot be
accessed when a user with administrator privileges runs the Stored32 pro-
gram.
Pelton software is designed to be used in the field on a notebook or desktop
computer which is not connected to a secure corporate network. When these
programs were produced, many of the security features and policies used in
today's corporate networks did not exist. For this reason the Pelton software
might not be able to be run on a computer which is connected to a secure cor-
porate network.
You can use Microsoft’s Windows XP Mode to run the programs on a net-
work. Windows XP Mode is (at the time of these release notes) currently
available for free from Microsoft for anyone with a legitimate Windows 7
license.
Windows XP Mode constructs a virtual XP computer under Windows 7. You
can install the Pelton software in this virtual XP computer and avoid some of
the security issues encountered under Windows 7. INOVA Geophysical is
continuing to investigate this option.
If the Pelton software must be installed in an office environment with a secure
network, INOVA recommends that you consult with your I.T. department
before installing the Pelton software.
If the Pelton software will be used in an office environment, but will not be
used to connect with a Vib Pro Encoder or Decoder, it is not necessary to turn
off the firewall.

Upgrading Information
Before You Begin
Any previous version of Pelton software which exists on the computer must
be uninstalled before the new install can be performed. The install program
will detect the previous version and will prompt the operator to approve the
removal of the previous version of the Pelton software.

will be installed on the computer.
IMPORTANT !
The uninstall process will only delete those files which were originally
installed. Any data or program files which were not part of the install
process will not be removed.
The current Pelton Install cannot detect installed versions performed on or
before December 2003.
