1. About MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition with MIB Compiler
-------------------------------------------------------------------

MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition with MIB Compiler is a SNMP 
MIB Browser running on Microsoft's 32-bit operating systems (Windows 95, 
Windows 98, Windows NT). MIB Browser lets you monitor and manage any 
SNMP device on the network (i.e. file or database servers, routers, 
hubs, switches, bridges,...) by using the standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c 
and SNMPv3 protocols. 

MIB Browser allows you performing the SNMP GET, SNMP GETNEXT, SNMP 
GETBULK and SNMP SET operations. Besides, the software lets you capture 
SNMP TRAP packets sent from arbitrary SNMP devices on the network. 

MIB Browser can monitor several SNMP devices simultaneously and contains 
features like SNMP Table viewer, logging capabilities, real-time 
graphical presentation of queried numerical values etc. 

The enclosed MIB Compiler lets you compile any vendor specific MIB file. 
Compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by the MIB browser. 
Generally, a MIB file is usually supplied by the vendor of an SNMP 
manageable device and contains a description of the object hierarchy and 
object attributes on the managed device and serves as a roadmap for 
managing that device.

2. Installing the software
--------------------------

Make sure you are trying to install the latest version of the 
software, available from http://www.mg-soft.com/download.html

Before installing the latest version of the software uninstall 
any previously installed version! Also, after the unisnstall 
procedure is finnished, manually remove all remaining files
to avoid any versioning conflicts that may arise!

To install the software on NT you need to have Administrator 
privileges. Othervise the installation software cannot replace 
Microsoft's files on the winsys folders (the software requires 
updated version of mfc42.dll and some other Microsoft's files).

To install the software, unzip the distribution zip file and
run the setup.exe. Follow the on-screen guidelines. You must
reboot the computer if the setup procedure prompts you to do it.

Sometimes the installation software fails to register OCX 
components needed for operation of both MIB Browser Professional 
Edition and MIB Compiler. Usually this happens if an older 
version of the software was not uninstaled prior to installing 
newer version. Symptoms of failed installation are:

1. When starting the MIB Browser Professional Edition you
   receive an 'Application Error' message reporting
   'Exception EOleSysError in module mgmibbpe.exe' at
    XXXXXXXX. Class not registered.

2. In MIB Compiler, when trying to open a 'Group window'
   (i.e. by double-clicking a MIB Module in the Modules
   window), the software crashes.


To fix the problem use the following recovery procedure:


Verify if the windows\system[32] folder contains the following 
files with the listed version numbers (or newer):

mfc42.dll    V. 6.00.8267.0
msvcrt.dll   V. 6.00.8267.0
msvcp60.dll  V. 6.00.8168.0
olepro32.dll V. 5.0.4265

If any of the above mentioned system DLLs is not up to date,
download the MFC library update from:

http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc42.cab

Unzip the mfc42.cab and run the mfc42.exe file to install it. 
You must reboot the computer if the setup procedure prompts 
you to do it

Once you have system dlls in place, the software should run 
properly, or you shouldn't have problems with installing the 
OCX files (if InstallShield failed to do it) by using the 
following two commands:

regsvr32 mibpropc.ocx 
regsvr32 mgdchart.ocx 

Please note that you do have to run regsvr32.exe from MIB 
Browser's BIN folder.

The REGSVR32.EXE utility is provided by Microsoft and can
be located on Windows or Windows\System folders. It is also
provided with many software development packages like
Visual C++.
