ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Welcome to the installation and deinstallation utility for Galleria and
Galleria/CM.
This utility is used to install (or deinstall) these products on your OS/2
system. You will be prompted for installation options (such as destination
directory) prior to any changes being made to your system. All changes will be
logged so you can see what this utility has done or correct errors if the
installation fails.
The deinstall option will reverse all changes to your system should you wish to
remove the software from your system.
Press Install to prompt for installation options.
Press Deinstall to prompt for deinstallation options.
Press Exit to terminate.
NOTE: The Galleria and Galleria/CM executables are packaged using Info-ZIP's
compression utility. The installation program uses UnZip to process compressed
files from the install directory or diskette. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip
and related utilities) is free and can be obtained as source code or
executables from various anonymous-ftp sites on Internet, including
ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Install types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The installation process can be classified as one of the following three types:
Individual
This applies when you have an Individual license and wish to install
the software on a standalone machine. For this type of install you
must elect to have the install utility copy files to the specified
directories. On completion, you should have a new folder on your
desktop with icons for Galleria etc. You can then start the software
by double-clicking on the required icon. The first time you start
Galleria or Galleria/CM you will be prompted for your license
details. These will be preserved across subsequent sessions or
installs.
Server
If you have a Corporate license you can install the software on a LAN
server for use by multiple clients (subject to the maximum number of
users permitted by your license). The install process is similar to
that for an Individual install above. The difference is that when you
start the software and enter license details, a file named
GALLERIA.LAN will be written to disk in the same directory as the
executables. (You must have write permission to this directory to
enable this file to be created.) When you start the software from a
client on the LAN, it will look for this file and license details
will be propagated automatically. Note that the GALLERIA.LAN file
will be invalidated if moved to another disk or server and will need
to be created anew.
Client
After a copy of the software licensed for Corporate use has been
installed on the server (and the GALLERIA.LAN file created) you can
then proceed to install the software on clients attached to the LAN.
For a client install you should deselect the option to Copy files to
directories, instead entering directories of those on the server
where the software resides. The install will then create icons
pointing to the server copy of the software. You will not be prompted
for license details (unless the server copy has been incorrectly
installed or the GALLERIA.LAN file has been invalidated).
For installation of a copy of software licensed for Corporate use on a
standalone machine, proceed as per the Server install above. The GALLERIA.LAN
file should be retained.
For an unlimited use Corporate license, a customized copy of the Galleria
executables are supplied. You will not be prompted for license details as these
stored permanently in the executables. You are free to install the software on
workstations or servers as required.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Install options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Install options dialog is displayed to enable you to change options for the
install.
The Source directory must be set to the location of the packed files and
utilities. Normally this will be the same as that containing the install
utility.
The destination Directories are the directories to be used to contain the
unpacked executables and libraries. You may choose a different directory for
the libraries (DLLs) if you wish. These directories will be created if they do
not already exist.
If the software has already been installed on a file server you can elect not
to have the executables and libraries installed on your machine. The
Destination directories will therefore be the file server directories.
The install utility can modify the LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS on your boot
drive to point to the destination directory containing the libraries (above).
If an entry for this directory already exists in the LIBPATH statement, no
changes will be made.
You can also have the install utility create a folder and icons for the
software on the OS/2 desktop. This will permit you to start the applications or
view documentation simply by double-clicking on the respective icons.
Subsequently, you may wish to copy or move the icons to the desktop or a folder
of your choice.
It is recommended that you leave all options at their default values for the
first time you install the software or if you experience any problems with the
install.
Press Proceed to start the install process with the above options.
Press Defaults to reset all options to their default values.
Press Cancel to return to the previous level.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Install activity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Install activity window allows you to monitor the install process. A log of
every action taken is displayed together with an eventual return code. This
will be zero for a successful install.
When the installation is complete (or if it fails for any reason) you should
review the log contents and return code.
Press Save log to write the log to the source disk/directory as INSTALL.LOG.
Press OK to exit.

(Note that the information below is also to be found in the included README.DOC
file should you need to refer to this after installation.)
Galleria, as a graphics-intensive application, demands a high level of support
from display drivers. It is recommended that you ensure that you have the
latest version of display driver installed for your display adapter type prior
to installation.
Below are fixes or bypasses for common problems that may be experienced:
o Failure with SYS3175/SYS3182 etc. when loading first image with VGA and SVGA
drivers. Replacement IBMVGA32.DLL and IBMDEV32.DLL modules are included in
the floppy-based version of this software in the FIXES directory. These
modules are also available for download from the OS2AVEN forum on CompuServe
(as GALPTF.ZIP). Alternatively, contact IBM Support requesting the fix for
APAR PJ10311.
o Scrolling errors with 8514/A, S3 and ATI drivers. Bad data may be displayed
in the scrolled area or even outside of Zoom window. This may also result in
lockups on S3 systems. Replacement IBMS332.DLL and 8514_32.DLL modules are
included in the floppy-based version of this software in the FIXES directory.
These modules are also available for download from the OS2AVEN forum on
CompuServe (as GALPTF.ZIP). Alternatively, contact IBM Support requesting the
fix for APAR PJ12059.
For ATI cards, use the replacement 8514/A driver or contact ATI Technologies
for a fix.
o Miscellaneous errors (including exceptions, incorrect colors or scrolling
problems) with other drivers. This is normally an indication that the display
driver currently installed does not fully support the default direct paint
mode used by Galleria. These problems may disappear if you change the driver
settings to use a different color depth. If not, you should be able to bypass
the problem by setting the Paint directly cutoff value to the maximum in the
Galleria Preferences dialog. For a permanent fix, contact the vendor of your
display adapter for an updated driver.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Deinstall options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Deinstall options dialog is displayed to enable you to change options for
the deinstall.
The destination Directories are the directories used for a prior install to
contain the unpacked executables and libraries. All installed files will be
deleted from these directories (unless you disable this). These directories
will be removed if they are empty after the files are deleted.
If you did not copy files during installation (i.e. you used a file server copy
of the software instead) you should disable the Delete files option.
The deinstall utility can restore the LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS on your
boot drive to remove the entry for the directory containing the libraries
(above). If an entry for this directory does not exist in the LIBPATH
statement, no changes will be made.
The deinstall process can also remove the folder (and all contents) from the
OS/2 desktop created during the install.
Press Proceed to start the deinstall process with the above options.
Press Cancel to return to the previous level.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Deinstall activity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Deinstall activity window allows you to monitor the deinstall process. A
log of every action taken is displayed together with an eventual return code.
This will be zero for a successful deinstall.
When the deinstallation is complete (or if it fails for any reason) you should
review the log contents and return code.
Press Save log to write the log to the source disk/directory as INSTALL.LOG.
Press OK to exit.
