Hi all,
due to 3Gb limit in 32 bit OS and High RAM requirement by Actix when working with huge data(many logfiles) i switched to 64 bit OS to increase RAM beyond 3Gb limit.
Two challanges while doing so were.
1. i was unable to install .NET 1
2. i was unable to use and install Multikey.
So now when i am finished with all this, i thought to share it here for all of you and future references as well.
to install .NET on windows 7 x64
- Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive (C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).
- Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe ). Make sure the setup file is saved asdotnetfx.exe .
- Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe ). Make sure that the file is renamed and saved asdotnetfxsp1.exe , so that the rest of the steps can be followed easily.
- Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
- Open command prompt as Administrator .
- Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
- Run the following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.
- dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
- Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”
- dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
- msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1 by running
netfx.msi created in the working folder
and Now
install Actix the way you do.
Now here comes the licensing part.
1. Disable and turn off UAC
Control Panel-User Accounts and Family Safety-User Accounts-Change Use Account Control Settings-Move Slider to "Never Notify"
REBOOT!!
2. Disable Digital Driver Signing using command prompt with admin rights.
Type in the following 2 separate commands:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
REBOOT!!!
3. Install Multikey in command prompt with admin rights.
Move to Multikey directory (c:\Multikey)
Input the following command:
devcon install multikey.inf root\multikey
Dos window should state this was successfull.
REBOOT!!
4. Digitally sign the installed driver using DSEO13b
(c:\windows\system 32\drivers\multikey.sys)
REBOOT!!
Use same registry file. Here are
