It is a derivitive of the previous GTINST by GammaTech, Inc. When compared to GTINST, InstallStar has a new user interface as well as new capabilities to deregister classes and close open windows that may interfere with a normal installation. When applying a FileStar/2 version 2.1 CSD over version 2.0, you must use SHSINST.EXE. The older GTINST.EXE will not apply CSDs with a minor version change. _________________________________________________________________ CSD FILES When you download the CSD from an Internet server, you will have one file named F2100027.EXE. This is a self-extracting executable zip file which contains: F2100027.CSD - Compressed distribution file SHSINST.EXE - SHS InstallStar installation program SHSINST.HLP - Installation program help file SHSINST.INF - Installation program information file CSD_INST.TXT - This file. - F21 is major/minor version, 00027 is last 5 digits of level. where 00 is the last two digits of the year and 027 is the Julian date of the distribution. _________________________________________________________________ CSD INSTALLATION This CSD should be applied in the existing FILESTAR directory (target directory) to preserve your existing setup. If applied over version 2.0, the installation program (InstallStar) refreshes all the original distribution files and creates sub-directories named INFOZIP and INSTALL to hold the appropriate files. After copying files to these directories, InstallStar then deletes the old files of the same name from the FileStar/2 directory. It creates a new WPS Desktop folder named 'FS 2.1'. You cannot install this CSD if FileStar/2 is running from the target directory. You may install to a different directory if desired and the FILESTAR.INI file may then be copied to that directory to preserve existing settings. You will be prompted to close all FileStar/2 windows if necessary and there may be install errors that stop the installation if there are sharing violations. You can prevent such an interruption by closing all FileStar/2 related windows and dialogs before starting installation. *********************** PLEASE NOTE! **************************** Make sure that all of the files in the FileStar/2 target directory have the RO attribute set OFF. Some of the previous CSDs set the BPMCC.DLL file to readonly (R). ***************************************************************** To install a CSD, perform the following steps: 1. Copy the self-extracting CSD installation file F2100027.EXE to a temporary directory or the directory in which you intend to install the program and run it to extract the files. 2. You may start the install program, SHSINST.EXE, with or without the compressed file as a parameter. The F2100027.CSD file is the compressed file that contains all other files and installation definitions. (a) If you start the installation program with a command of 'SHSINST X:\FILESTAR\F2100027.CSD' you will bypass the Source Directory dialog. Note that the full path to the CSD file is required. (b) If you start with 'SHSINST' the Source Directory dialog will appear. Press the browse button and find and double click the F2100027.CSD file. This will complete the source path in the dialog. NOTE: Some users are failing to add the CSD filename to the source path. There may be more than one CSD located in the source directory and the user is responsible for selecting the CSD file to install. 3. Press the 'License' button (required to enable the Install button) and read the License. When finished with reading the licence, you may read the README.TXT file by pressing the 'Readme' button. 4. Press the 'Install' button to start the installation. A Target Directory dialog will appear. The Target Directory dialog entry field should be displaying the current FileStar directory if it is found in the config.sys path statement. Otherwise it will be displaying the current directory. If the target directory is not set to the FileStar directory, manually change the drive/directory to the FileStar directory or use the Browse button to find and select the target directory. Press Ok to accept the target directory as entered and the extraction of files will begin. 5. When queried about updating the Desktop, select 'Update'. To insure that the InstallStar program files (SHSINST.EXE, SHSINST.HLP and SHSINST.INF) are saved for future use, these files are copied to the FileStar sub-directory INSTALL during installation. You may delete these files from the installation directory (either the temporary or FileStar directory) after installation is complete. It is also recommended that you keep a copy of the CSD file in the INSTALL sub-directory. If you receive a BASE LEVEL INVALID error during installation, you must reinstall from the original source file(s) and then apply the CSD. The reason for this is that required data from the original install is missing in the OS2.INI file. _________________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION CLEANUP Some previous installations by GTINST created a BMP sub-directory and some did not. To create a consistent structure, this installation creates the directory if it does not exist and places the *.bmp files that SHS believes are appropriate for distribution in that directory. If your installation has bitmap (BMP) files in the main FileStar directory, please either delete these files or move them to the BMP directory. The install program will NOT delete these files from the FileStar directory since some may be used in the toolbar, in which case the user will have to modify the toolbar to reflect the directory change. If the CSD is installed from the FileStar/2 directory, the install program file (SHSINST.EXE) may be deleted from that directory after installation - but first check and make sure that the file is in the INSTALL directory since it may be needed in the future. You should also save a copy of the CSD file in the INSTALL directory.
