This memo contains a small description how to install the Delft3D suite for the open source Delft3DFLOW and D-Water Quality. How to install these executables in the Delft3D suite is also described
on http://oss.deltares.nl/web/delft3d.
The installation on the ftp-server contains:
1 License agreement file <License_agreement_Delft3D_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.pdf> (ohmw: Open
source Hydro-, Morpodynamics and Water quality).
2 A subdirectory <redistributables> with the redistributables:
<vcredist_x86 (2010).exe> and
<MCR_R2013b_win32_installer.exe>.
3 The installation program <DS_flex.exe> for licensing the Delft3D Graphical User Interfaces
(which is free of charge).
4 The zip-file with the Delft3D-suite: <delft3d_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.zip>
5 This memo, <install_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.pdf>
Release notes 4.01.00.rc.12:
Improved TIDE.
Some improvements on RGFGRID, including Flexible Mesh.
Release notes 4.01.00.rc.09:
Improved DIDO when reading mdf-files.
Some improvements on RGFGRID for Flexible Mesh.
Release notes 4.01.00.rc.07:
Integration of D-Flow Flexible Mesh mesh generator in RGFGRID.
QUICKPLOT now uses the Matlab Compiler Runtime 2013b.

Installation Delft3D suite for open source

First read the license agreement file <License_agreement_Delft3D_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.pdf>.
If you do agree then install the redistributables <vcredist_x86 (2010).exe> and <MCR_R2013b_win32_installer.exe>.
The last redistributable is needed for the post-processing program QUICKPLOT.
Unzip the file <delft3d_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.zip> on an appropriate directory,
say c:\Deltares\Delft3D_4.01.00.rc.12.
Within the directory c:\Deltares\Delft3D_4.01.00.rc.12 there are two files
1 <License_agreement_Delft3D_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.pdf> and
2 <install_ohmw_4.01.00.rc.12.pdf>.
and within the directory c:\Deltares\Delft3D_4.01.00.rc.12\win32 there are also two files
1 <substitute_delft3d_env.bat> and
2 <d3d_menu.bat>.
After the unzip, first execute the file <substitute_delft3d_env.bat>, some substitutions will be performed in the Delft3D-MENU template file and the ini-files for the Processes Library Configuration
Tool (PLCT).
Now you can start Delft3D-MENU by launching the file d3d_menu.bat. Delft3D uses the environment variables D3D_HOME and ARCH, these two environment variable are set in the sub-shell
where Delft3D is running in when launching d3d_menu.bat.
If you need batch processing set manually the enviroment variable
D3D_HOME to c:\Deltares\Delft3D 4.01.00.rc.12 and
ARCH to win32

Copy executables to Delft3D suite

Download the source code of Delft3D-FLOW and D-Water Quality form https://svn.oss.deltares.
nl/repos/delft3d/trunk. Generated the executables of Delft3D-FLOW and D-Water Quality and
copy the directory <...\bin\win32> (generated when compiling the open source) and his contents
to the directory <c:\Deltares\Delft3D_4.01.00.rc.12\win32>. A more precise description is given on
http://oss.deltares.nl/web/delft3d/source-code.

Using plugins with ArcGIS10

When using the plugins RGFGRID, QUICKIN, DIDO, GISVIEW and RemoteOLV as extension in
ArcGIS10 you have to set the evironment variable
WL_PLUGINS_HOME to c:\Deltares\Delft3D 4.01.00.rc.12\win32\plugins and you have
to register the dynamic link library <MfeArcGis10.UI.dll> to ArcGIS10, this can be done by running
batch files which are available on the directory
c:\Deltares\Delft3D 4.01.00.rc.12\win32\plugins\bin.
To register the dll on a 32- or 64-bits Windows operating sytem:

win32 run Register_Arcgis10_MFE_win32.bat on a Windows 32-bits operating system or

win64 run Register_Arcgis10_MFE_win64.bat on a Windows 64-bits operating system.
To unregister the dll-file use the the batch files Unregister_Arcgis10_MFE_win32.bat or
Unregister_Arcgis10_MFE_win64.bat.
