New installation procedure for the OLI Engine in Pro/II

OLI Systems has combined the installation of the OLI Engine 9.2 (and later) for all the various versions of the OLI Engine in Pro/II. Prior to version OLI Version 9.2, the installation file for Pro/II was distributed by Schneider-Electric. Now we have combined the installation into a single package. This makes life easier for OLI Systems, Schneider-Electric and the IT groups tasked for installing our software.

Installing the OLI Engine without previous versions of OLI installed

Locate the OLI Systems folder program group from from the Start Menu and the locate the OLI Engine 9.2 for Pro/II (we are using version 9.2 as an example, locate the version you want to install)

Check for Updated configuration file

Clicking this link will poll the OLI Download Web Site for a new version of a configuration file. At some point in the future, Schneider-Electric will release a new version of Pro/II (or change its name). At that time this configuration tool will be easily updated by downloading a small file.
