KING'S QUEST 6
MANUAL INSTALLATION GUIDE
Under some rare and unusual circumstances the INSTALL program that comes
with King's Quest 6 may not be able to copy and configure all of the files
from the floppy disks to a computer's hard disk drive. For those rare
instances we have created this manual installation guide. Please follow
the instructions in this guide very carefully.
First, create a subdirectory to copy the game files to by typing:
MD SIERRA
CD SIERRA
MD KQ6
CD KQ6
Now install the program files.:
Step #1 Insert disk #1
Type: COPY A:*.*
Step #2
Type: REN INTRO.P01 SEQ.EXE
Step #3 Insert disk #2
Type: COPY/b SEQ.EXE+A:\INTRO.*
(substitute B: if you are installing from the B drive)
Step #4 Insert disk #3
Type: COPY/b SEQ.EXE+A:\INTRO.*
(substitute B: if you are installing from the B drive)
If you're installing from 5.25" disks repeat step #4 with disk #4.
Step #5 From disk #3 (3.5") or disk #4 (5.25")
Type: COPY A:\RESOURCE.P01 RESOURCE.000
Step #6 Insert disk #4 (3.5") or disk #5 (5.25")
Type: COPY/b RESOURCE.000+A:\RESOURCE.*
(substitute B: if installing from B drive)
Repeat step #6 by pressing the F3 function key until you get to disk #8
(3.5") or disk #10 (5.25").
Step #7 From disk #8 (3.5") or disk #10 (5.25")
Type: COPY A:\AUDIO.P01 RESOURCE.AUD
Step #8 Insert disk #9 (3.5") or disk #11 (5.25")
Type: COPY/b RESOURCE.AUD+A:\AUDIO.*
Step #9 Finally, type the following commands:
COPY A:\*.HEP
COPY A:\*.SCR
COPY A:\*.TEX
COPY A:\*.V56
Now type INSTALL from the hard drive and choose your sound and video
configuration.
INSTALLING OPENING CARTOON ONLY
To only install the opening cartoon simply follow these steps:
Insert disk #1 and type:
COPY A:\INTRO.P01 SEQ.EXE
Insert disk #2 and type:
COPY/b SEQ.EXE+A:\INTRO.*
Insert disk #3 and type:
COPY/b SEQ.EXE+A:\INTRO.*
If installing from 5.25" disks, insert disk #4 and type:
COPY/b SEQ.EXE+A:\INTRO.*
SEQ.EXE is a 3,022,622 bytes large and is a self-extracting archive file.
When King's Quest 6 is first started from the KQ6.BAT file it automatically
decompresses SEQ.EXE into the individual cartoon files.
The opening cartoon is 5,890,048 bytes when decompressed, so you must have
at least 9 Megs of disk space availalble before attempting to install and
decompress it.
After the SEQ.EXE file has been created on the hard drive you will need 6
Megs of free disk space in order to decompress it. DELETING OPENING CARTOON
To delete the opening cartoon from the hard drive simply type DEL *.SEQ
