OSINWORK - PROBLEMS INSTALLING IBM WORKS FROM OS/2 WARP BONUSPAK
01/30/96
=======================================================================
Problems Installing IBM Works from OS/2 Warp BonusPak
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When you type INSTALL from diskette or CD-ROM, or use the BPIU
interface, after a few seconds, the window returns to the prompt, or
the BPIU interface returns to the main menu, and no message is
displayed.
RESOLUTION
1. At the command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter.
2. Look for the statement, SET REMOTE_INSTALL_STATE=0. If the statement
is present, change it to:
REM SET REMOTE_INSTALL_STATE=0
3. Save and exit the file; then restart the system.
The IBM Works software installer fails because this statement sets a
flag for the software installer to read a response file that IBM Works
does not supply.
