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 install the OCX files by using the following two commands: regsvr32 mibpropc.ocx regsvr32 mgdchart.ocx Please note that you have to run the regsvr32.exe utility from the 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++.
