Microsoft(R) Professional Toolkit for Visual Basic (TM) 1.0 Setup by Batch File ----------------------------------------- We recommend that you run TKSETUP.BAT from an MS-DOS(R) boot, not in a shell from Microsoft Windows(TM). TKSetup must be run from MS-DOS and from the drive in which you inserted the disk. For example, the following won't work: C:\> a:tksetup Instead, you must make drive A (or the drive in which you inserted the disk) the active drive before running TKSetup: C:\> a: A:\> tksetup When you run TKSetup as shown above (with no arguments), further usage instructions will display on the screen. TKSetup will work only with 5.25-inch 1.2 MB or 3.5-inch 1.44 MB disks. TKSetup will not work with 5.25-inch 360K or 3.5-inch 720K disks. The Windows-hosted Setup program that this batch file replaces places all VBX files associated with the custom controls in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and gives you the choice of placing duplicates in a \VBX subdirectory. TKSetup automatically places the VBX files in the \VBX subdirectory. We recommend that you either copy them into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory or make sure the \VBX directory is in your MS-DOS path. For speed, it is better to place the VBX files in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory because Windows looks first in the \WINDOWS directory, then in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, then in the current directory, and finally in the MS-DOS path for files. NOTE: The file VB.LIC *MUST* be present in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for you to successfully load any custom controls into the Visual Basic environment. ALSO NOTE: If you have Windows version 3.1 already installed, the COMMDLG.DLL file that comes with Windows 3.1 is the most current. It is date/time stamped 3/10/92 3:10 A.M. Regardless of the date/time stamp on the Professional Toolkit's version, use the version that comes with 3.1. If you have not yet upgraded, COMMDLG.DLL is provided to allow the use of the CMDialog custom control. If you do have 3.1 installed, don't copy COMMDLG.DLL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory with all the other files (VBXs). If at a later time you upgrade to 3.1, the Windows Setup program will correctly write the most current version of the DLL into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. In either case, this will not affect the use of the CMDialog.VBX custom control. The batch file also copies four files to the root of the chosen directory: TKSETUP.BAT TKSETUP1.BAT README.TXT (the file you are now reading) DECOMP.EXE Upon successful completion of the setup, you can delete these files from your hard disk, if you want. NOTE: TKSetup will not install the multimedia driver files stored in the root of Disk 1. Those files are compressed in a different format and are installed by using the Drivers icon in Windows 3.1 Control Panel, or by using the multimedia extensions driver installation option.
