Hi Steph,
I am guessing you are using a Windows 98 or Windows 95 machine, since NT and 2000 do install the Remote Registry Service automatically. So If I am correct, follow this procedure :
To browse and connect to a remote OPC server in Windows 98/95 it is necessary to install Remote Registry Services.
This is free and should be available on the Windows 98/95 CD. The following step describe how to do this:
From the desktop, right click on Network Neighborhood then on Properties...
Click on Add... From the Configuration tab
Double click on Service
Click on Have Disk...
Make sure your Windows 95 CD in inserted in the CDROM and click on Browse...
Browse to the directory \admin\nettools\remotereg\ (on windows 98 it would be \tools\reskit\n
etadmin\remotreg)
The .inf file in that directory will install Remote registry services.
Sometimes Windows 95 complains that it can't find some file. Tell it to look in the \Win95 Directory on the distribution CD.
I hope it helps
Best Regards
Andre Oliveira
