nettxrx Files

Latest version is nettxrx-0.7.zip. It contains both the nettxrx binary 
package and the nettxrx source code.


Install from binary package:
========================================================================

1) Extract the contents of nettxrx-0.7.zip to a directory of your choice.

2) Go to the bin folder and right click nettxrx.msi and select "install". 
On Vista and Windows 7 you may be prompted for Administrator credentials.

3) After the install program completes there will be a nettxrx entry in your 
Programs menu. You can start nettxrx from there.

Note: If you get an error message when you start nettxrx about a missing 
MSVCR100.dll you will need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 10 Runtime. 
You can find it in the same directory you created when you extracted the 
files in step 1) above. Just select the runtime for your system 
(example: vcredist_x86.exe if you have a 32bit Intel platform). You will 
need Administrator credentials to install the runtime.

You can also download the correct runtime from Microsoft.

If you get an error when you try to install nettxrx.msi, you probably need to 
upgrade your Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI). Please search on the 
Microsoft website for the download link to their latest version of MSI. 

Build and install from source package:
========================================================================

I used the Microsoft SDK version 7.1 to build nettxrx. It should also build 
with earlier SDK versions with minor changes.

Extract nettxrx-0.7.zip to a directory. The nettxrx sources will be in the 
src\nettxrx directory. The hgperfmon.dll source will be in src\nettxrx\hgperfmon\ and 
the help files will be in src\nettxrx\nettxrx-help\.

There are two binaries you need to build: hgperfmon.dll and nettxrx.exe. 
There is a Makefile for each. First run nmake to build the dll. Then you'll need 
to copy the hgperfmon.lib to the same directory containing the nettxrx.exe 
source files. Then you can run nmake to build nettxrx.exe.

Nettxrx.exe expects to find the html help files and jpegs in its working 
directory (the same directory where it has been intstalled).

You could also import both hgperfmon and nettxrx as makefile based projects 
into Visual Studio and build from the Visual Studio IDE.
