          FDO KingInformix Provider Installation Notes

=========================================================



----------------------------------------------------------
1. Installing the provider


For Windows :

1.1 Install King.Informix  provider 

Copy the provider file (KingInformix.dll) 
to the location of FDO libraries. 
      On Windows, it would be in the \FDO subdirectory of where your MapGuide Server
      component is installed, e.g.
        C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Bin\FDO


    * Add an entry for the provider to the providers.xml file.

        <FeatureProvider>
    	  <Name>King.Informix</Name> 
		  <DisplayName>King Provider for IBM Informix Dynamic Server</DisplayName> 
     	  <Description>Read/write access to spatial and attribute data in Informix</Description> 
    	  <IsManaged>False</IsManaged> 
    	  <Version>0.1.4.0</Version> 
    	  <FeatureDataObjectsVersion>3.2.2.0</FeatureDataObjectsVersion> 
    	  <LibraryPath>KingInformix.dll</LibraryPath> 
	</FeatureProvider>

      Make sure you match the FDO version to whatever the other entries in the
      provider.xml are using (in this example it is 3.2.2.0).
