- to fail.
-

- version 1.0.1 of IndyCar Racing II for Windows 95. (The lower
- version number does not mean that you have an earlier version.

- versions.)

- II. INSTALLATION
-
- How to patch DOS v1.0 of ICR2 to Windows 95 v1.0.1:

- the readme.102 file included with that patch.
-
- 3) Once the DOS version is patched up to v1.0.2, rename the

-
-
- b) Move the ICR2 folder to the SIERRA folder:
- Open My Computer again
- Double-click on your hard drive (usually C:)
- Click on the ICR2 directory and drag it into the
- Sierra Folder or use the copy and paste functions
- (Note: if you have IndyCar Racing II for DOS in a
- folder other than ICR2, rename it to ICR2 using
- File/Rename before dragging it into the SIERRA folder)
-
-
- 4) Create a new directory at your root directory called DOS2WIN
- (Note: this new folder must be on the same drive as the
- SIERRA\ICR2 folder):
- Open My Computer
- Double-click on your hard drive (usually C:)
- Click on File/New/Folder
- Type in the folder name: DOS2WIN
-
- 5) Copy the ICR2WIN.EXE file into this directory:
- Click on the ICR2WIN.EXE file, drag it into DOS2WIN folder
- or use the copy and paste functions
-
- 6) Execute the ICR2WIN.EXE file:
- Double-click on the ICR2WIN.EXE file
-
- 7) Execute the INSTALL.BAT file:
- Double-click on the INSTALL.BAT file
-
- 8) Execute the SETUP.EXE file. (This is the Sierra Setup
- utility and will install the needed files for the Win95 version of ICR2.):
- Double-click on SETUP.EXE
- Follow on-screen prompts and instructions, accept all defaults
-
- 9) Now you'll be all set to play the Win95 version of IndyCar Racing II!
- To start the game, click START, then PROGRAMS, then SIERRA, and click the
- Indy Car Racing II icon. You may also start the game by double-clicking
- on the WINDY.EXE icon in your Sierra\ICR2 folder.
-
- 10)After running IndyCar Racing II for Windows 95 to ensure that
- the update was successful, you may delete the DOS2WIN directory
- (created in step 4). You may wish to keep the W95ICRTS.TXT file.
- It contains troubleshooting information for this game.
-
-
- Notes:
-
- Please make use of the ONLINE HELP included with the Windows 95 version
- of this game. This will help to explain some features that were not
- in the DOS version.
