This document describes some steps that you need to take after
you install OPENSTEP Enterprise for Windows 4.1. It also describes:
• Changes made to environment variables during installation
• How to start and stop OPENSTEP processes manually
• How to uninstall OPENSTEP manually
• Some issues related to Enterprise Objects Framework
After Installation
==================
If you have installed Enterprise Objects Framework, you should also install
the appropriate client libraries for the databases that you intend to connect
with.
With the exception of the Enterprise Objects Framework Reference, which is in
Windows Help, all Enterprise Objects documentation is provided in PDF only. If
you need a PDF reader, you can download one from the following World Wide Web
site:

Changes to Environment Variables
================================
When Configure Environment Variables is selected in the Choose Options dialog
box, the setup program makes the following changes to your System Environment
Variables. You can view these variables in the System Control Panel:
• $NEXT_ROOT shows the drive and directory where the root OPENSTEP directory
is located. (Make sure there is a trailing slash.)
• For developer installations, "Lib" includes the resolved paths for
NextDeveloper/Libraries and LocalDeveloper/Libraries (both relative to
$NEXT_ROOT).
• "Path" includes the resolved paths for NextLibrary/Executables and, for
developer installations, LocalDeveloper/Executables,
NextDeveloper/Executables, and NextDeveloper/Executables/Utilities (all
paths are relative to $NEXT_ROOT).
Note: The paths that identify the various OPENSTEP directories in "Lib" and
"Path" must come before the corresponding Microsoft directory definitions.
Starting OPENSTEP Processes Manually
====================================
During installation you can request that the various processes needed by
OPENSTEP be started automatically when you log in. The installer does this
by creating entries for each of those processes in your Startup (Common)
program group. If you elected to start these processes manually, you must
locate and start them.
The two processes that you must start first are services called MachD and
nmserver. To start these services, open a Bourne shell (by selecting the
icon in the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group). Then type the following:
cd $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System
machd -install
nmserver -install
To start the remaining two OPENSTEP runtime processes, locate them in
the file system (using File Manager or Explorer) and then start them by
double-clicking. Start them in the following order:
• $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System/WindowServer.exe
• $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/pbs.exe
Stopping OPENSTEP Processes Manually
====================================
To stop OPENSTEP processes--a step required when uninstalling OPENSTEP,
described below--first locate the Startup (Common) group containing the
processes (using the Program Manager for Windows 3.51 or the Start menu
for Windows 4.0). Then select or double-click these two processes in the
following order:
• Pasteboard Server (pbs.exe)
• Window Server (WindowServer.exe)
To stop the OPENSTEP services, open a Bourne shell (by selecting the icon
in the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group). Then type the following:
cd $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System
machd -remove
nmserver -remove
For each process, a message will inform you that the process is already
running and will inquire whether you wish to terminate it. Respond Yes
to each message. If you have Microsoft Visual C++, you can also use the
Pview program's Kill Process function to terminate processes. Terminate
them in the same order as listed above.
Uninstalling OPENSTEP for Windows Manually
===========================================
Because OPENSTEP installs all of its files underneath a single
directory identified by the $NEXT_ROOT environment variable, uninstallation
is a fairly straightforward process. Essentially, you delete the OPENSTEP
files, remove any icons that appear in the Program Manager, and clean up
your Environment Variables.
Delete OPENSTEP Files
---------------------
1. Because the installer may not be able to overwrite running processes,
first quit any OPENSTEP or D'OLE applications you're running. Then stop
OPENSTEP processes as described in the section "Stopping OPENSTEP
Processes Manually," above.
2. Locate the OPENSTEP root directory. This directory is identified by the
$NEXT_ROOT environment variable. If you are unsure what the root directory
is, open the System control panel and look in the System Environment
Variables section.
3. Using the Windows NT File Manager or Explorer programs, select the
OPENSTEP root directory.
4. Press Delete, or choose Delete from the File menu. A series of message
boxes appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the selected
directory and all its contents. Click Yes (or Yes to All) to all messages.
The File Manager deletes each of the files and directories underneath the
selected directory, and then it deletes the directory itself.
Delete OPENSTEP Icons from Program Groups (Windows NT 3.51)
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Select--but do not open--the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group
icon in the Program Manager.
2. Press Delete, or choose Delete from the File menu. In the Delete
confirmation dialog that appears, click Yes.
3. Double-click the Startup (Common) group icon in the Program Manager.
4. If the Startup (Common) group contains icons labeled "MachD",
"Mach nmserver," "WindowServer," or "Pasteboard Server," select each
icon in turn and press Delete. In the Delete confirmation dialog that
appears, click Yes.
Delete OPENSTEP Icons from Program Groups (Windows NT 4.0)
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Choose the Taskbar option from Settings on the Start menu.
2. Select the Start Menu Programs display of the Taskbar Properties window.
3. Click the Remove button on the Customize Start Menu section.
4. In the Remove Shortcuts/Folders window, select OPENSTEP Enterprise,
click Remove, and then click Yes to the confirmation message.
5. In the same window, open the Startup program group by clicking the "+"
symbol. Then select the icons labeled "MachD", Mach nmserver,"
"WindowServer," or "Pasteboard Server." For each icon, press Delete
and click Yes to the subsequent Delete confirmation dialog.
Clean up Environment Variables
------------------------------
1. Locate and open the Control Panel window.
2. Within the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
3. The System dialog box appears. This dialog box is where you can alter
the environment variable settings that Windows NT uses.
4. Select $NEXT_ROOT in the System Environment Variables section. Click
Delete.
5. If developer software was installed, select the "Lib" system-environment
variable definition. Highlight that portion of the definition
corresponding to the OPENSTEP "Lib" directories listed in "Changes to
Environment Variables," above, and press the Delete key (do not click
Delete). Click Set to register the change.
6. Select the "Path" system-environment variable definition. Highlight those
portions of the definition that identifies directories corresponding to
the OPENSTEP "Path" directories listed in "Changes to Environment
Variables," above, and press the Delete key (do not click Delete).
Click Set to register the change.
7. Click OK in the System dialog.
This completes the manual uninstallation process.
