4) Installation Instructions
-------------------------------------
To install, download the self-extracting installation file and follow the instructions. The self-extracting file copies the installation program to your PC and then launches the installation program. To repeat the installation you can use setup.exe file which was saved on your disk to a subdirectory, disk1, below the extraction directory chosen.
The setup.exe can be used in "silent mode installation". In conjunction with a response file, the silent mode allows you to install the Intel DMI Explorer without any user interaction. A default response file is provided with this installation package, setup.iss. To run the default silent install use the following command line:
setup -s -fsetup.ins -f1setup.iss /SMS
For more information concerning silent install and response files, see the InstallShield documentation.
NOTE: On Windows NT 3.51, extracting to a directory that contains a long file name will result in the installation failing. You may continue the installation of the Intel DMI Explorer manually by following the instructions above.

5.1) Invoking Intel DMI Explorer
--------------------------------------------
The DMI Explorer executable program is idmiex.exe. Type this command
line to invoke Intel DMI Explorer:
idmiex [/path path_string] [/s] [/name display_name]
where:
/s suppress splash screen.
(Optional)
/name change display name of the target computer to display_name. This name is shown in the
tree pane root and in main frame title (default - remote address is used as machine name).
Note: If display_name contains spaces, be sure to use quotes ("). For example, "Johns Machine".
(Optional)
/path use <path_string> as a path to the remote
node. If not specified, DMI Explorer
explores the local machine.
(Optional)
<path_string> Full remote address, in this format:
"RPC Name|Transport|Address".
[RPC Type] is DCE or ONC.
|Transport is one of these pre-defined transport
names: tcpip or spx. or is an RPC-dependent
transport names supported by specified RPC
(ncacn_ip_tcp, ncacn_spx, ...);
|Address is network address in
RPC/transport-specific format.
Notes:
1. DCE can be accessed by SPX by either machine name or
address. When using machine name, specify the path in this
format: DCE|SPX|machine_name.
2. When using machine address, specify the path in this
format: DCE|SPX|~machine_address.
Note: Be sure to add the symbol `~' before the address.
3. DCE TCP/IP can be accessed by either machine name or
address. When using machine name, specify the path in this
format: DCE|tcpip|machine_name. When using machine address,
specify the path in this format: DCE|tcpip|machine_address.
4. DCE Local does require an address parameter. The address
parameter should not be included. The <path_string> should be
enclosed in quotes as follows: "DCE|Local|".
5.1.1) Invocation Examples
--------------------------------------
This section presents some sample DMI Explorer invocation lines.
To connect to a machine named ilnt38, using the DCE TCP/IP protocol,
type this line:
idmiex.exe /path "DCE|tcpip|ilnt38"
To connect to a machine with the IP address 143.185.49.162, using the
TCP/IP protocol, type this line:
idmiex.exe /path "DCE|tcpip|143.185.49.162"
To connect to a machine named 0014013100aa0068a123, using the DCE SPX
protocol type this line:
idmiex.exe /path "DCE|SPX|~0014013100aa0068a123"
To connect to a machine named ilnt38, using the ncacn_ip_tcp RPC
transport, type this line:
idmiex.exe /path "DCE|ncacn_ip_tcp|ilnt38"
6) Product Release Notes
-----------------------------------
6.1) Intel DMI Explorer (IDMIEX.EXE)
* The Intel DMI Explorer supports a localized Help file. Using the "locale" language of the system, it searches for a help file name XXXIDMIEX.HLP, where XXX is the system language. For example ENUIDMIEX.HLP is the Help file for US English.
The version will be activated on all machines, localized version has not been installed.
* The SDK includes a Japanese localized version of the DMI Explorer. The installation program will copy the Japanese version of the DMI Explorer DLLs to the "dmi\win32\idmiex" directory. The DMI Explorer determines the computer locale and loads the right DLLs accordingly. For example, in Japanese OS, it loads the Japanese version of the DMI Explorer DLLs. The Japanese files are listed below::
* jpnDmiEd.dll
* jpnDmiEx.dll
* jpnDmiLi.dll
* jpnDmiTr.dll
* jpnDmiOb.dll
* jpnIdmiex.dll
[Known Issues]
* The Intel DMI Explorer does not display strings larger than 250 characters in the value field of the attribute. Display strings and enumeration strings can been seen by opening an edit box and scrolling to the end.
* All-other brands names are property of their respective owners.
