The guide brings together in single, comprehensive document information previously published in
number of different locations.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This guide is aimed at technical teams who have experience of installation of a range of Windows
software, either using our installation program or a network roll out using a script.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

2 INSTALLING DATASTREAM
BEFORE YOU START
Version 5.1 of Datastream is available only as a Windows Installer setup. Windows Installer is a
system service available as standard in Windows XP and later.
Note

Any upgrades will require old versions of advance to be uninstalled. Refer Page 12 Upgrading
from Previous Versions for more details.

If Windows Installer is not installed on your system, the Datastream installation program will ensure
that Windows Installer is correctly installed and configured before starting to install Datastream.
Windows Installer setup may require the system to be rebooted; normally the Datastream installation
program will be re-started automatically when the system restarts, but if it does not, restart it manually
and proceed with the Datastream installation. The installation has been tested with Windows Installer
versions up to and including 4.0.

INSTALLATION RIGHTS AND COMPONENT REGISTRATION

You will need the right to install software, usually interpreted as administrator rights. Datastream
must then be run once using those rights to register self registering controls. Thereafter Datastream
can be used by users with non-privileged rights, so that a user can run Datastream with user
permission after installation.
In addition:
Database and user folders must be set with read/write/create and delete rights because they hold
updateable files.
You will find details in the DS5_rights.xls file supplied on the Datastream Installation CD with each
version of Datastream.
The registry entries for Datastream 5.1 are available on the Extranet, including the entries created
when Datastream is first loaded and run, and when some other components are registered. You will
need to bear this in mind when creating a script to roll out Datastream centrally.

DATASTREAM INSTALLATION
The Datastream Launcher (setup.exe) starts automatically when you insert the CD into the drive and
enables you to initiate most common Datastream setups.

Starting Datastream Launcher

Insert the Datastream installation CD in the drive. The Datastream Launcher starts:

Copyright Thomson Reuters 2011

You have the following options:

Full Install
Installs a full copy of Datastream onto the local PC.
Uninstall
Removes Datastream 5.1 from the local PC, but does not remove user created files and
configuration information.
Do not use this option for earlier versions of Datastream use Control Panel to uninstall
previous versions of Datastream.
Release Notes
Release notes contains last minute information about the current release.
Installation Instructions
Browse CD
Enables you to examine the contents of the installation CD.
Online Customer Support

Copyright Thomson Reuters 2011

There are also two check boxes:

Quiet
To enable or disable quiet mode operation.
Logging
To record installation results and messages. The log is built in the system-defined TEMP folder in a
file called ~DSsetup.log. Subsequent installations append data to the log file and do not overwrite
it. If a Datastream installation fails, copy this file to another location and be ready to supply it to
support staff it can provide many of the answers to questions support will have.
Before starting an installation, Datastream Launcher checks:
Operating system version and service pack level. If this is not sufficient to support Datastream, the
installation will abort.
Versions of some Windows system files. If these are not compatible with Datastream, the
installation will abort.
Running Office components.

New installation

If you have Office 2003 installed then InstallShield Wizard will not auto install AFO add-ins.

Note

SVG Viewer option will be in disabled state if you have already installed it.

Note

To install the Datastream Charting add-ins requires Microsoft's .NET framework (3.5), Office
2007 Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) and Visual Studio Tools. For details see
http://extranet.datastream.com/Products_Data/Servicepcks/Guidelines_for_installing_compo
nents%202.0.pdf. If these are not installed - please run the Datastream Charting Add-In.msi
from the Datastream Charting Directory to install the Datastream Charting Add-in and you
will be prompted to download and install these components.

Note

With the Datastream Charting add-in there is an auto update facility (the default is to Always
update to latest version) - for details see
http://extranet.datastream.com/Products_Data/Servicepcks/Guidelines_for_installing_compo
nents%202.0.pdf

UPGRADING FROM EARLIER VERSIONS

Datastream 5.1 does not support upgrading from earlier version of Datastream Advance. You need to
uninstall the existing version from the Control Panel and then install Datastream 5.1.
Uninstalling Advance
To uninstall Advance Remove the add-in from Excel - the best way to do this is to go to View > Toolbars >
Customize.... leave this window open to the side and drag the AFO menu option out of the top
area and drop it into the sheet area. Close the customise window then go to Tools > Add-ins
and untick the advance office option from the list, ok the changes then close Excel.
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove Advance from the list.
Search for these file extensions - *.OCA;*.TWD;*.EXD and delete any that refer to Datastream
or DS.
Browse to C:\Program Files\Datastream\Datastream Advance and make a backup of the
USER folder. Once done, delete the Datastream folder and its sub folders (C:\Program
Files\Datastream).
Go into the registry and delete these keys and its sub-keys o Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Datastream
o Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Datastream
o Delete HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\software\Datastream
Once this has been completed, reboot the machine then re-install Advance. Run the Adv5reg.bat file
after this to ensure that all the DS components are correctly registered. In Excel, insert the AFO addin but use the browse option (xla located in C:\Program Files\Datastream\Datastream Advance)
instead of using the one already in the add-in list.

Batch files
To help you with smaller scale roll-outs and also to illustrate the syntax of some install and uninstall
commands, three batch files are supplied on the installation CD in the setup folder:
DS5reg.bat
Can be used to manually register all Datastream components. You should not need to use this
under normal circumstances.
complete.bat
Can be used to invoke silent setup of all components on a workstation from an administrators
copy held on a server, with logging.
uninstall.bat
Can be used to uninstall a local copy of Datastream, with logging.
The content of these files is reproduced in 6 Datastream files.

Installing using the Advance MSI file

We supply the Advance.msi file to use within a scripting package such as SMS. However, this does
not perform some critical install checks such as:
Microsoft Office or Internet Explorer version.
Removal of previous Add-In.
Removal of *.twd, *.exd, *.oca files. The retention of these files from a previous installation of
Datastream can lead to errors appearing in Excel, PowerPoint and Word.

4 UNINSTALLING DATASTREAM
You can uninstall Datastream by using:

The uninstall option from the setup utility. You can only use this option for the supplied version of
Datastream with setup.exe; it will not work for earlier versions of Datastream.
The recommended way to uninstall Datastream is by using the Remove option from Windows
Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs as you can use this option for all versions of
Datastream.
Both of the options above uninstall the Datastream application, but they do not remove User
created files and configuration details from:
Windows XP:

C:\Program Files\Datastream\Datastream Advance

Windows Vista\ Windows 7:

C:\Programdata\Datastream\Datastream Advance

User created files, including project files (.adv extension), list files (.llt extension), and other files
such as graphics schemes (.csc extension).
config.mdb
Holds information on the preferences for interface options set by the user.
search.mdb
Holds the users equity searches.
uct.mdb
Holds the users favourites.
Setup log (~DSsetup.log)
Registry entries:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: the .adv file association
