Installing Opnet

It takes almost 2 day for me to make Opnet work :(
(from download all necessary software, installing and configure windows environment)

Steps by step:

I. Installing
1. Install VS2008

3. Install modeler.exe (if you use my opnet download links, choose standalone license)
4. Install doc-modeler.exe

II. Configuration
