INSTALLSTAR

This version of FileStar/2 has a new installation program,
InstallStar by Sierra HyperStar Software (SHSINST.EXE). It is a
derivitive of the previous GTINST by GammaTech, Inc. When
compared to GTINST, InstallStar has a new user interface as well
as new capabilities to deregister classes and close open windows
that may interfere with a normal installation.

_________________________________________________________________
CSD FILES

When you download the CSD from an Internet server, you will have
one file named F2199274.EXE. This is a self-extracting executable
zip file which contains:

    F2199274.CSD  -   Compressed distribution file
    SHSINST.EXE   -   SHS InstallStar installation program
    SHSINST.HLP   -   Installation program help file
    SHSINST.INF   -   Installation program information file
    CSD_INST.TXT  -   This file.    -

F21 is major/minor version, 99274 is last 5 digits of level.

_________________________________________________________________
CSD INSTALLATION

This CSD should be applied in the existing FILESTAR directory
(target directory) to preserve your existing setup. This CSD
refreshes all the original distribution files and creates
sub-directories named INFOZIP and INSTALL to hold the appropriate
files. After copying files to these directories, InstallStar then
deletes the old files of the same name from the FileStar/2
directory. It creates a new WPS Desktop folder named 'FS 2.1'.

You cannot install this CSD if FileStar/2 is running from the
target directory. You may install to a different directory if
desired and the FILESTAR.INI file may then be copied to that
directory to preserve existing settings. You will be prompted to
close all FileStar/2 windows if necessary and there may be
install errors that stop the installation if there are sharing
violations. You can prevent such an interruption by closing all
FileStar/2 related windows and dialogs before starting
installation.

*********************** PLEASE NOTE! ****************************
Make sure that all of the files in the FileStar/2 target
directory have the RO attribute set OFF. Some of the previous
CSDs set the BPMCC.DLL file to readonly (R).
*****************************************************************

To install a CSD, perform the following steps:

  1.  Copy the self-extracting CSD installation file F2199274.EXE
  to a temporary directory or the directory in which you intend
  to install the program and run it to extract the files.

  2.  You may start the install program with or without the
  compressed file as a parameter. The F2199274.CSD file is the
  compressed file that contains all other files and installation
  definitions.

    (a) If you start the installation program with a command of
    'SHSINST X:\FILESTAR\F2199274.CSD' you will bypass the Source
    Directory dialog. Note that the full path to the CSD file is
    required.

    (b) If you start with 'SHSINST' the Source Directory dialog
    will appear. Press the browse button and find and double
    click the F2199274.CSD file. This will complete the source
    path in the dialog.

  3.  Press the 'License' button (required to enable the Install
  button) and read the License. When finished with reading the
  licence, you may read the README.TXT file by pressing the
  'Readme' button.

  4.  Press the 'Install' button to start the installation. A
  Target Directory dialog will appear. The Target Directory
  dialog entry field should be displaying the current FileStar
  directory if it is found in the config.sys path statement.
  Otherwise it will be displaying the current directory. If the
  target directory is not set to the FileStar directory, manually
  change the drive/directory to the FileStar directory or use the
  Browse button to find and select the target directory. Press Ok
  to accept the target directory as entered and the extraction of
  files will begin.

  5.  When queried about updating the Desktop, select 'Update'.

If you receive a BASE LEVEL INVALID error during installation,
you must reinstall from the original source file(s) and then
apply the CSD. The reason for this is that required data from the
original install is missing in the OS2.INI file.

INSTALLATION CLEANUP

Some previous installations by GTINST created a BMP sub-directory
and some did not. To create a consistent structure, this
installation creates the directory if it does not exist and
places the *.bmp files that SHS believes are appropriate for
distribution in that directory. If your installation has bitmap
(BMP) files in the main FileStar directory, please either delete
these files or move them to the BMP directory. The install
program will NOT delete these files from the FileStar directory
since some may be used in the toolbar, in which case the user
will have to modify the toolbar to reflect the directory change.

If the CSD is installed from the FileStar/2 directory, the
install program file (SHSINST.EXE) may be deleted from that
directory after installation - but first check and make sure that
the file is in the INSTALL directory since it may be needed in
the future. You should also save a copy of the CSD file in the
INSTALL directory.
