Marine Engineering Specialists -- Bentley Systems has acquired Ultramarine's MOSES Software [ Press Release ]
Installing MOSES - Windows

On a Standalone Machine

CD-ROM Versions:

  1. Insert the CD. It should start the install procedure. If not, go to the CD-ROM drive (often D:) and double-click on setup.exe.

Download Versions:

  1. Locate and run the downloaded file. It should be called something similar to moses_download_win32.exe.

Both Versions:

  1. Press Next until you get to the Choose Components screen.
  2. If you want to keep your old MOSES install, select "Backup old files." This will create a directory ultra_p with your old MOSES install and settings.
  3. Associating Files registers MOSES's CIF and DAT extensions with Windows so you can double click on them. This is recommended for most machines, but is not necessary for installs on a file server.
  4. Do not install the Sentinel Hardkey Driver unless you are using a Sentinel Hardkey and this is the only program that is using it. Otherwise, this can conflict with previously installed drivers.
  5. Allow the installer to complete.
  6. You should now be able to double-click on any .cif file on the machine and have MOSES run. You can download examples here.

On a Networked Machine (instructions for IT staff and advanced users)

On the File Server:

  1. Install the software by following the steps above.
  2. Change the permissions as follows:
    • \ultra - read (all files and subdirectories)
    • \ultra\data\progm - read-write
    • \ultra\data\site - read-write
  3. Share the /ultra directory or a parent directory of /ultra

On the users machines:

  1. Mount the \ultra directory as a drive; we will use U: in this example.
  2. There should be a moses.exe under U:\ .
  3. Double click (run) moses.exe. This will bring up a MOSES window.
  4. MOSES will ask for a file name. Use the name "cow". (cow without the quotes)
  5. After a few seconds the main menu will appear at the top of the screen.
  6. Use the pull down CUSTOMIZE menu.
  7. Select Register with OS.
  8. Close MOSES by typing &FINI in the command prompt
  9. You should now be able to double-click on any .cif file on the machine and have MOSES run. You can download examples here.
