- Subject: Desktop icons gone after installing OS/2 2.0 GA.
-
- I thought I had it planned just right! I had the latest beta drops of
- Workframe/2, C/Set2, Toolkit/2 installed on my D: drive while the C:
- drive was the OS/2 boot device. I wanted to plan it so that when I
- installed OS/2 GA on the C: drive (after reformatting it) I would not
- lose the desktop icons that had been created by Workframe/2, C/Set2 and
- Toolkit/2. So what I had done was to create a folder on my D: drive
- into which I had moved all the desktop icons that the Workframe-C-Toolkit
- had created on my desktop in the hope that these icons would be kept on
- the D: drive safe from the re-install of OS/2 base GA on the C: drive;
- these desktop icons were: "IBM C Set/2", "IBM Workframe/2", "PM Develop-
- ment Tools", "Sample Programs" and "Toolkit Information".
-
- But after the install of OS/2 2.0 GA I found upon opening that D:-drive
- folder that, although the desktop icons were still in it, the opening of
- these icons gave me empty icon views! (except, oddly enough, for the
- "IBM C Set/2" and "IBM Workframe/2" folder which had the same contents
- as the "Communications Manager" folder (the latest beta of which was
- reinstalled on the C: drive after the install of OS/2 2.0 GA)).
-
- Now, I realize I'm talking about 2 beta releases (Workframe-C-Toolkit
- and ES) but the basic questions is:
-
- Can desktop icons be saved from a total reinstall of the base or do they
- disappear when the OS2 INI file(s) is/are replaced upon reinstallement?
- Is my only solution to reinstall Workframe-C-Toolkit to have the desktop
- icons recreated?

- You created a folder with all the settings on it for your D drive.
- Fine. But where dir you put the folder? If it was at the Desktop,
- then it's gone. (Desktop is resident on your Boot drive.)
- The installation of WF/2 C-SET/2 ,... writes information to
- the OS2.ini file. That's gone. You HAVE TO run the install
- to rebuild that information. (and you lose all your changes!!!!)
- It would be nice to have an option during the install for NOT to
- copy the files, just update the informations.(config.sys os2.ini FW2.ini)

- Thanks for the info! I guess I'll reinstall Workframe-C-Toolkit! I had
- created that folder on the D: drive and only "deposited" a shadow of it
- on the desktop!

- >Yes, the C Set/2 and WF/2 are now on OS2PROD2!
-
- I've just finished installing 2.0 GA, Workframe and C Set/2, and I'm
- eager to start learning the new dev environment. I opened the
- MAHJONGG project and selected Actions>>Make. I got this error
-
- 'Error trying to start program. The program cannot be found in
- the directory path'
-
- Do I need to update my config.sys, or... ? Any help would be much
- appreciated.
-
- Also, is there any hard-copy documentation for the C Set and WorkFrame
- products available yet?
-
- Thx, Thom TL 522-4080

- Before you go too far, WF/2 does allow you to just update the
- the desktop and config.sys. In the \IBMWF\BIN directory, their
- is a utility called ADDUSER.EXE. Run this program and only
- select the "Update CONFIG.SYS" and "Update Desktop" checkboxes.
- Then press O.K. This will also update your OS2.INI file. So, it
- is exactly what you are asking for. Unfortunately, I don't think
- that you can do this with the other products.
-
- ASIDE: ADDUSER.EXE was actually written for the purpose of
- allowing multiple users to share the same copy of the WF/2
- on the LAN. But, so far most people seem to be using it
- to recover their environment after reinstalling OS/2.

- Actually jou should reboot between each of the installations.
- Start with WF2, shut down, Toolkit, shutdown, CSet2, shotdown.
- Those installation programs need's to knew about the other
- environment. Each of those has a readme file on their first
- diskette.
-
- DOCS: When you go out and buy the shrink-wrapped , you can order
- the DOCS too.

- PS: Is the GA WF2 and CSET out?

-
- I can only guess that when you installed the C Set/2, you did not
- ask to have your config.sys updated for you. You can either
- re-install the compiler ;-), or update your config.sys file
- manually. You can get the changes that you need by looking at
- \IBMC\BIN\CSETENV.CMD.
-
- There is a tutorial for using C Set/2 with the WF/2. I'm not
- sure why the documents are not available on OS2PROD2. I'll
- check this out and let you know!
-
- P.S. Both products have GAed and their shrinked wrapped packages
- are being displayed at COMDEX in Chicago as I type this note.

- Great news. Thanks for the info. It's a good thing I decided not to
- reinstall WorkFrame et al before leaving the office today. I shall use
- your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks a lot.
- PS: You're right. Other products should offer such an option.

-
- Actually, it isn't necessary to reboot after each installation.
- I've used the following method successfully:
-
- 1. Install the WF/2
- 2. Install the toolkit
- 3. Install C Set/2
- 4. Shut down
- 5. reboot
- 6. issue the command "addtool \toolkt20\os2bin\toolkt20.ini"
- if you wish to have the toolkit tools automatically installed
- in the WF/2 tools pulldown
-
- You can swap steps 1 and 2 if you wish. However, it is important
- that you install C Set/2 after the WF/2 and toolkit.

- If you want the hard copy documents you must order them separately.
- For IBMers, you can use puborder. The following documents exist
- for WorkFrame/2:
-
- o WorkFrame/2 Introduction (S10G-4475)
- o C Set/2 and WorkFrame/2: An Integrated Development Environment
- (S10G-4449) (aka the C Set/WorkFrame tutorial)

-
- We are currently trying to get all the pubs placed in a package
- on OS2PROD2, so if you get the product off this disk, you can get
- the docs too (LIST38PP files).
-
- Of course, if you want printed and bound copies, you will need to do
- a PUBORDER.
-
- Kathryn Fryer
-
- P.S. The "C Set/WorkFrame Tutorial" (S10G-4449) is actually shipped
- with the C Set/2 product, NOT the WorkFrame/2 product (because
- the steps and screen captures in it are specific to the C Set/2
- compiler and debugger...although it can be generalized).

- Probable cause is that it can't find all the DLLs that it needs to run.
- Make sure that your libpath is set up right. reinstalls will erase all
- changes that were made by toolkit/compiler installs.
- Shouldn't questions from IBM id's go to the FORUMs? not CFORUMs?
