MFC and ATL Run-Time Files :

Modbus Server Installation

1. Install DCOM95 if you are using win95.
2. Install MFC and  ATL run-time files from mfcatl.zip
3. Extract Server files (MBServer.exe,Modbucfg.exe,...) to any directory.
4. Open a MS-DOS window and go to the directory where MBServer.exe file is located.
5. Register MBServer.exe , just type MBServer.exe  /RegServer
6. Run Modbucfg.exe to test the installation. See Modbus Automation Client.
7. If you have Visual Basic you can try vb sample. Maybe you have to choose "References" and select MBSever.Exe before running the sample.

        You can uninstall the MBServer.exe typing MBServer.exe   /UnregServer to remove the registry entry and delete the directory where you extract the files. The run-time files should not be uninstalled because many programs use MFC run-time files.
