Important Points
1. If you are reinstalling and you wish to preserve your current installation of CDATA 2001, please
see the hint 'Preserving your previous installation of CDATA 2001.'
2. It is not possible to install the CDATA 2001 - Full GIS Release 2 product & the CDATA 2001 Quickbuild Release 2 product onto the same computer/server. If you have purchased both
products they should be installed onto separate computers/servers, as they both use similar files
to operate. The programs will not run correctly if installed on the same computer/server.
Note: MapInfo advises that the MapInfo Runtime product is not certified for a network installation.
3. Please note that when installing the MapInfo, CDATA 2001 & Borland software programs, you will
require Full Administrator access to Windows.
4. Please ensure that no other programs are running when you run the various Setup programs.
5. The CDATA 2001 Release 2 installation process will check to ensure the following;
A) MapInfo Version 7.0 is installed.
Please ensure you have installed the correct MapInfo product before installing the CDATA
2001 Release 2 product. I.e.
• CDATA 2001 - Full GIS requires MapInfo Professional Version 7.0
• CDATA 2001 Quickbuild requires MapInfo Runtime Version 7.0
B) The CDATA 2001 Release 1 product is not installed. Please ensure you uninstall the
CDATA 2001 Release 1 product before installing the CDATA 2001 Release 2 product.
C) C) There is enough free hard disk space to install the program. Note: 100 megabytes of free
disk space is required to successfully install the CDATA 2001 Release 2 product.
As a number of functions performed by the CDATA Release 2 product create numerous temporary
files, it is recommended that each workstation have at least 500 megabytes of free disk space
available.
6. The maps in the CDATA 2001 Release 2 product are in the new Geocentric Datum of Australia
projection (GDA94). During the CDATA 2001 Release 2 installation, the current MapInfo projection
file is updated with the new MapInfo Australian projection file.
MapInfo users who wish to keep their current projection file, should make a copy of it before
installing the CDATA 2001 Release 2 product. They will then be able to replace the updated
MapInfow.prj file with their previous copy. During the installation process of the CDATA 2001
Release 2 product, the current MapInfo projection file is renamed MapInfow.prj.bak.
7. In order for the CDATA 2001 Release 2 reports function to operate correctly, it is necessary to
install the Borland 5.11 software. During the installation process of the CDATA 2001 Release 2
product, the Borland Version 5.11 software will automatically be installed. Any workstation
accessing the CDATA 2001 software on the network will need to install the Borland 5.11 software.

Select Ok. – the MapInfo Runtime User installation commences, follow the prompts and install.
Step 8. – Create a desktop shortcut to the CDATA 2001 & MapInfo programs
You will need to create a desktop shortcut on the computer used to install the network installation of
both MapInfo Version 7.0 & CDATA 2001 Release 2. You will also need to do this for any additional
workstations
On each workstation, from the desktop, right click on the desktop and select New > Shortcut – the
create shortcut dialog box is displayed.
In the 'Command line' area enter the location of the MapInfo Professional Version 7.0 .exe file,
followed by the location of the CDATA2001.mbx file.
In this example both MapInfo Professional Version 7.0 and CDATA 2001 - Full GIS were installed to
network drive M.
Therefore in this example the 'Command line' dialog used is exactly as follows;
•
"M:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\MAPINFOW.EXE" "M:\Program Files\CDATA
2001 Release 2\CDATA2001.MBX"
In the ‘Start in’ area type the location of the CDATA 2001 application directory.
In this case;
•

Note: the entries are case sensitive
Select OK - the following dialog box is displayed.
Select OK > Select Straight to CDATA 2001.
8
Step 10. – Setting the CDATA 2001 Output Path (also see Step 13)
Now you need to decide where you want CDATA 2001 to store any files created during the normal
use of the product. You have 2 options;
OPTION 1: (RECOMMENDED) If you do not wish users to store their files on the network drive,
each workstation should change their CDATA 2001 Output Path. If you wish users to store their files
on their local hard drive or another drive, on each workstation create a folder on their local hard drive
or another drive called CDATA 2001 Output Path. Note: The folder must be called CDATA 2001
Output Path.
From Easybuild select the Setup button > Select the General tab.
Select the yellow folders
to the right of the User Output Path.
Locate and select the created CDATA 2001 Output Path folder > Select OK- the following dialog box
is displayed.
If you change the CDATA 2001 Output path from the default path, (usually the CDATA 2001 Output
Path folder located under the CDATA 2001 application folder), CDATA 2001, prompts you to create
the necessary subfolders if they do not already exist.
Press Yes to create the folders for your work files. - the following folders are created as shown
below.
Select OK – the CDATA 2001 User Output Path has been amended.
For further information, please refer to the hint located on CDATA 2001 Disk 3 of 3, Amending the
CDATA 2001 Output Path.
9
OPTION 2: If you want the user to store their files on the Network drive where CDATA 2001 is
installed. (Use only if one user is accessing the CDATA 2001 program. Please note the user must
have read/write access to the network drive).
From Easybuild select the Setup button > Select the General tab.
Select the yellow folders
to the right of the User Output Path.
Locate and select the CDATA 2001 Output Path folder on the network drive (in this case M:\Program
Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output Path\) > Select OK- the CDATA 2001 User
Output Path has been updated.
Step 11. – Setting the CDATA 2001 Census Data Paths (also see Step 13)
From Easybuild select the Setup button > Select the General tab.
Select the drop down menu on the Census Data Paths line.
The 1st Census Data Path must always be where CDATA 2001 is installed. I.e. the CDATA 2001
Application folder, on the network drive.
The 2nd Census Data Path must always be the location of the CDATA 2001 Release 2 –
Revision 1.0 patch file, on the network drive.
If you have purchased any add-on products, such as the Detailed Base Map, CDATA 2001 Add-on
Datapacks or SEIFA 2001, the next paths would be the location where these were installed or copied
to.
The Final paths should be the location of the CDATA 2001 CD-ROM’s. You can have the CDATA
2001 CD-ROM/s in a CD-ROM Stacker or you can copy them to a hard drive or network drive,
you will need to include three separate paths pointing to the location of each CD-ROM. It is a good
idea to place the path of the CD that you use the most, before the path of the CD you use less as this
may save time on slow networks. If you only have access to one State, you need only to copy and
set the path for that particular CD-ROM.
10
The following states are on the following CD-ROM’s;
•
•
•
CDATA 2001 Release 2 Disk 1 of 3 contains – NSW & QLD: (656 Megabytes)
CDATA 2001 Release 2 Disk 2 of 3 contains – NSW, VIC & ACT: (672 Megabytes)
CDATA 2001 Release 2 Disk 3 of 3 contains – WA, SA, Tas, NT, OT & any Indigenous
Geography: (661 Megabytes)
Note: For detailed information regarding setting your Census Data Paths, please refer to the help topic
located in the CDATA2001, entitled 'Census Data Paths'.
11
Step 12. - Set the MapInfo Directory Preferences. (Also see Step 13)
You now need to reset the MapInfo Directory Preferences, which will depend on the option you
chose in Step 10, when setting or amending the CDATA 2001 Output path.
Within CDATA 2001 please select Options > Preferences > Directories - the Directories
Preferences box is displayed.
OPTION 1 from Step 10 (RECOMMENDED)
You would then modify the following ‘Initial Directories for File Dialogs’ area, to the newly created
CDATA 2001 Output Path folders. In this example the <drive> = C: E.g.;
•
•
•
•
•
Tables – <drive>:\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Tables\
Workspaces – <drive>:\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Workspaces\
Saved Queries – <drive>:\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Tables\
(CDATA 2001 – Full GIS Users) MapBasic Programs – M:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\Tools\
OR
(CDATA 2001 – Quickbuild Users) MapBasic Programs – M:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release
2\Tools\
You would then add the following to 'Search Directories for Tables' area;
•
•
•
<drive>:\ CDATA 2001 Output Path\Work\
<drive>:\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Tables\
<drive>:\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Workspaces
Select OK to save and exit the Directory Preferences.
12
OR
OPTION 2 from Step 10:
You would then modify the following ‘Initial Directories for File Dialogs’ area, to the newly created
CDATA 2001 Output Path folders. In that case the <drive> = M: E.g.;
•
•
•
•
•
Tables – <M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved
Tables\
Workspaces – <M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output
Path\Saved Workspaces\
Saved Queries – <M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output
Path\Saved Tables\
(CDATA 2001 – Full GIS Users) MapBasic Programs – M:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\Tools\
OR
(CDATA 2001 – Quickbuild Users) MapBasic Programs – M:\Program Files\CDATA 2001
Release 2\Tools\
You would then add the following to 'Search Directories for Tables' area;
•
•
•
<M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\ CDATA 2001 Output Path\Work\
<M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Tables\
<M>:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\CDATA 2001 Output Path\Saved Workspaces\
Select OK to save and exit the Directory Preferences.
13
Step 13. – Copying the CDATA2001.ini & MapInfow.prf files
Attention Information Technology Officers –
CDATA 2001.INI file:
The CDATA 2001.ini file contains the Registration Details and the settings (Census Data Paths etc) of
your CDATA 2001 program. It is created when you initially register the CDATA 2001 product (Step 9).
The MapInfow.prf file contains the settings of MapInfo for the CDATA 2001 program. It is created
when you initially install MapInfo and modified when you amend the MapInfo Directory Preferences
(Step 12).
You can copy these 2 files from the 1st workstation you used to initially install MapInfo & CDATA 2001,
to the same location on any of the other workstations. Then you will not need to perform steps 9, 11 &
12.
Whenever a new user starts the ‘CDATA 2001’ product, the software will search for a registration file
(CDATA2001.INI) under the ‘Users Profile Logon’. If the software cannot locate this registration file
under the User’s logon, it will load the default registration file located under the datatabs folder and
request the user to register. Therefore after you have setup the CDATA 2001 product and applied a
registration (Step 9), setup the CDATA 2001 Output Path (Step 10), setup the Census Data Paths
(Step 11) etc, you can replace the default CDATA2001.ini file located in the datatabs folder with the
CDATA2001.ini located under Users Profile used to apply the registration details etc.
Please see listed below the location of the CDATA2001.ini file on various operating systems;
From the Windows Start button select Start > Programs > Windows Explorer >Select the C: drive >
Select Tools > Folder Options > Select the View tab > Ensure that the radio box ‘Show Hidden
Files and Folders’ or 'Show All Files' is ticked > Select Apply > Select OK.
The following search example shown below is on a WindowsXP operating system.
Press the F3 key on your keyboard > Select All Files and Folders - a similar dialog box is displayed.
14
In the 'All or part of the file name' area, type CDATA2001.INI
In the 'Look in' area, from the drop down menu select the C: Drive.
If available select 'More advanced options' and ensure the 'Search hidden files and folders' &
'Search subfolders' boxes are ticked.
Select Search - the hard drive is searched and the CDATA 2001.ini file\s are displayed.
The file\s may be located in a number of folders. The default CDATA2001.ini file will be included in the
Datatabs folder in the CDATA 2001 Application folder.
This is not the file to copy. Select the CDATA 2001.ini located under the Windows Profile Logon.
Ie.,not the CDATA2001.INI file located in the Datatabs folder of the CDATA 2001 Application directory.
Select Edit > Copy.
Copy the CDATA2001.INI held under the profile to the Datatabs folder under the CDATA 2001
Application path. In this example the CDATA 2001 product was installed to the M drive, therefore the
location of the datatabs folder would be;
•
M:\Program Files\CDATA 2001 Release 2\Datatabs\
Therefore when any new user signs onto the computer the following screen will be displayed.
The completed registration file will then be loaded.
After the user selects OK > OK. - the CDATA 2001 product will automatically be registered and setup
correctly.
15
MapInfow.prf file:
The MapInfow.prf file contains the settings of MapInfo for the CDATA 2001 program. It is created
when you initially install MapInfo and modified when you amend the MapInfo Directory Preferences
(Step 7).
You can copy the MapInfow.prf file from the first workstation you used to initially install MapInfo and
CDATA 2001, to the same location on any of the other Access Points. Step 7 will then not be
necessary.
Please see listed below the location of the MAPINFOW.PRF file on various operating systems;
From the Windows Start button select Start > Programs > Windows Explorer >Select the C: drive >
Select Tools > Folder Options > Select the View tab > Ensure that the radio box ‘Show Hidden
Files and Folders’ or 'Show All Files' is ticked > Select Apply > Select OK.
The following search example shown below is on a WindowsXP operating system.
Press the F3 key on your keyboard > Select All Files and Folders - a similar dialog box is displayed.
In the 'All or part of the file name' area, type MAPINFOW.PRF
In the 'Look in' area, from the drop down menu select the C: Drive.
If available select 'More advanced options' and ensure the 'Search hidden files and folders' &
'Search subfolders' boxes are ticked.
Select Search - the hard drive is searched and the MAPINFOW.PRF file is displayed.
The example shown below is on a Window’s XP operating system.
Select the Mapinfow.prf file.
