ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Welcome to the installation and deinstallation utility for Galleria Lite.
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 Lite 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 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 3. 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 Lite, 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:
Failure with SYS317x/SYS318x 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 PJ10311.ZIP.
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.
This problem has been fixed in OS/2 3.0.
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. Contact IBM Support requesting the
fix for APAR PJ12059.
For ATI cards, contact ATI Technologies for a fix.
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 Lite. 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 Lite Preferences dialog. For
a permanent fix, contact the vendor of your display adapter for an
updated driver.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. 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 6. 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.
