ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Xact Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The install program is used to install, update or remove Xact for OS/2.
Install
Use this function if there is not already a copy of Xact for OS/2 on your hard
disk. After you click on the Install button, the install dialog will be opened.
In the install dialog, you specify the directory in which to install Xact. The
install dialog also provides you with additional last-minute information.
Update
This function is used to update an already existing Xact installation with a
newer version. When you push the Update button, INSTALL searches your hard disk
for an existing Xact installation. If it doesn't find any, you can either
create a new copy of Xact or abort the update process.
The update function is also useful if, by accident, some of the Xact files were
deleted. Using "update" instead of "install" lets you keep your configuration
files.
Remove
This function removes all files, directories, and system entries belonging to
Xact. If you have created your own files in one of Xact's subdirectories, these
directories cannot be removed, and INSTALL will tell you so.
When you press the Remove button, INSTALL searches your hard disk for an
installed copy of Xact. If the search is successfull, INSTALL will tell you so
and ask if the found copy of Xact should be deleted. After removing you can
either create a new installation or terminate INSTALL.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. The install dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In this dialog you can enter the directory, in which the XACT directory and its
subdirectories will be created during installation. The default path is the
root directory of drive C.
As soon as you push the Start button, the install process begins. While the
necessary files are copied, you can read the information text placed in the
install dialog. After installation, you will find this information text in the
file README.TXT. If you want to abort the install process, click on Abort.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Start the install/update process ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
As soon as you click on Start, the install process begins. INSTALL creates the
necessary directories and copies the program files onto your hard disk. As a
final step, INSTALL creates a program object on your desktop. You can start the
installed program by double-clicking the program object.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Aborting the installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When you click on Abort, the installation will be aborted, and the install
program is terminated.
If you select Abort while INSTALL copies a file, the install program will only
be terminated after it has finished copying the file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. The license dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you are installing Xact for the first time, you have to enter your name and
address in the license dialog. If your copy is licensed to an institution or a
company, the name of the company or institution must be entered as well.
The license dialog cannot be closed until each of the fields (except company
name) has been completed.
