1. Start with fresh install of XP Pro.  NOTE: you CAN’T change the name AFTER you install Chromeleon. Avoid joining domain unless necessary.  If you’re going from one computer to another, it makes life easier to have the same computer name.
2. Copy c:\chromel\bin\cmserver.cfg from an existing install to the new computer – so you’ll have a c:\chromel\bin\cmserver.cfg file on the new computer.  Don’t copy any other files inside the bin folder.
3. Copy c:\chromel\data\ from an existing computer to the new computer. Note: “data” looks like a single file called a database container on the original computer but once you move it over to the new computer, “data” looks like a folder with a lot of files inside.   This is normal – once Chromeleon is installed on the new computer, this “data” folder will turn into a single database container.
4. Install Chromeleon, get the install keys off of the documentation sheet, and match it up with the number on the USB Key.  Don’t plug it in yet.   Reboot.
5. Install the Service Pack Disk (originally on a DVD but can be burned to a 700Meg CD).  Reboot. 
   Ignore possible warning about Internet Explorer 7 updates (assuming you have updated your computer recently)
   Ignore this warning if it appears: “All files installed … are correct.  However… there are warnings…”.
6. Connect the USB Key and turn on the ion Chromatography machine.
7. “Found New Hardware” – accept all defaults for automatic hardware driver installation.
8. The following may appear: “Chromeleon USB Auto Config Wizard: create new time base or add device to existing?”  Choose “Create a new timebase” and accept defaults.  You’ll see another window that lists the ICS-90 with a serial number as an “Unassigned USB Device”.  Again, just accept the defaults. 
9. ??? You’re prompted to install the software for the WIBU Box, accept defaults.
10. Start Chromeleon. …enter the license code in File: Preferences: License tab.

1. On the menu go to File/Mount Data Source
2. It prompts “Should this data source be made accessible for Chromeleon Server?”
3. Answer “yes”
4. Rename the data source
5. open new data source on c: drive
6. Now both the newly installed data source and our good data(from c:) will appear in the Database window
7. Drag the data folders from the old data source into the new data source under c:\chromel\data
8. Dismount old data source
9. Open reports to make sure the data has imported properly and test it.
