About the Installer

The AppleShare Client for Windows Installer installs AppleShare client software on your IBM-compatible computer. AppleShare allows you to use the file services and print services provided by an AppleShare server over an AppleTalk network.

This Installer help system describes what you need to install the AppleShare client software on your computer, and tells you how to install and remove AppleShare software. For detailed information about using the AppleShare Client for Windows Installer, see Getting Started With AppleShare Client for Windows.

Before you start the installation process
Before you begin

Because AppleShare Client for Windows only works with certain hardware and software configurations, you need to understand you computer's hardware and software configuration before you being the installation process. This section describes the configuration information that you need to know.

Hardware and software requirements

Network adapters

Your computer's existing networking configuration


Bus standards
Before you begin

Network adapters

Bus standards

A computer’s bus transfers data between the computer’s CPU, adapter cards, and memory. Since the IBM PC was first introduced, six bus standards have emerged:

Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA)	Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)	Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
Microchannel Architecture (MCA)	Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
Before you install an adapter in your computer, you must make certain that it conforms to your computer's bus standard. Some IBM PC and IBM PC-compatible computers provide expansion slots for both ISA and EISA adapters, and others provide expansion slots for MCA adapters only. Older IBM PC and IBM PC-compatible computers only provide expansion slots for ISA adapters.

Most network adapters use the ISA, EISA, or MCA standard. Knowing the bus standard of your network adapter  helps you install AppleShare Client for Windows. Adapters that use the EISA bus standard are configured when you install them. Because they are already configured, the AppleShare Client for Windows Installer does not ask you for configuration information. The same is true for some MCA Ethernet network adapters.

If your network adapter  uses the ISA standard, the Installer will ask you for configuration information. (The Installer also asks for configuration information for certain types of MCA adapters). For details, see the topic "Configuration Information."

Changes in the functionality of your networking configuration
Before you begin

Your computer's networking configuration

Changes in the functionality of your networking configuration

You can install AppleShare Client for Windows when your computer is already configured for certain networking services, such as NetWare using IPXODI. However, because Windows limits the number of networking configurations that can fully operate at the same time, the functionality of one networking service may be reduced in order to maintain the full functionality of the other networking service.

For example, if Netware using IPXODI is already installed in your computer and you install AppleShare so that it has full functionality, the functionality of NetWare will be changed. These changes are

•	The NetWare Properties window is replaced by the AppleShare Properties window.

•	AppleShare, rather than NetWare, appears in the Network control panel.

•	NetWare printer network-connection buttons are replaced by AppleShare printer network-connection buttons in Windows dialog boxes and in the Print dialog boxes of applications that support printer network-connection buttons.

If you perform a standard installation, AppleShare is installed so that it has full functionality. The functionality of any other networking service that may already be installed on your computer may be reduced.

If you perform a custom installation of AppleShare, you can use the Network Drivers dialog box to tell the Installer which networking service will function fully and which networking service will function partially.

Ethernet network adapter card drivers
Before you begin

Network adapters

Network adapter drivers

Your software configuration must include a driver for the network adapter installed in your computer. Three types of drivers are available for IBM PC and IBM PC-compatible network adapters: Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) version 2.0, NDIS version 3.0, and Open Datalink Interface (ODI).

AppleShare Client for Windows works with NDIS 3.0 and ODI drivers, but it does not work with NDIS 2.0 drivers. (However, AppleShare Client for Windows does work with NDIS 2.0 drivers that are accompanied by a file named NDIS2SUP.386, known as a “shim” file, which makes an NDIS 2.0 driver compatible with software written for an NDIS 3.0 driver. The NDIS2SUP.386 file is available from Microsoft.)

If the software configuration for your computer does not include a driver for your network adapter, the AppleShare Client for Windows Installer installs an ODI driver for it.

If your computer’s software configuration already includes a driver for your network adapter, see "Your Computer's Networking Configuration" for information that will help you decide whether AppleShare Client for Windows can work with the driver that is currently installed in your computer.

•	SYSTEM.INI

•	WIN.INI

The Installer also modifies the PROGMAN.INI file (to create the Apple Network Services program group). The Installer may modify other files, depending on the networking configuration, if any, of your computer. For example, if the Installer installs an ODI driver for your network adapter card, it modifies the file NET.CFG. The Installer keeps a record of the files it modifies in a file named AINSTALL.LOG, located in the root directory of the drive on which the Installer copies the AppleShare Client for Windows files.

Hardware and software requirements
Before you begin

Hardware and software requirements

The following hardware is required to run AppleShare Client for Windows:

•	an IBM-compatible personal computer with a 386, 486, or Pentium microprocessor and 4 MB of RAM

•	approximately 1.5 MB of free space on your hard disk to install the software, and additional free space if you use print services extensively

•	a supported Ethernet, LocalTalk, or Token Ring network adapter that is connected to a network. To display a list of cards, see the help topic "Supported Network Adapters".

•	access over the network to a Macintosh computer running AppleShare 3.0 or later, or System 7 with file sharing enabled

The software requirements for your computer are

•	MS-DOS version 5.x or 6.x

•	Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or 3.11, or Windows for Workgroups version 3.11


I/O port address definition
I/O port address

The I/O port address identifies the memory addresses at which a card performs input/ouput (I/O) operations. The I/O port address is actually a range of memory addresses, with the first address called the base address. Memory addresses are usually written as hexadecimal numbers.

Hardware manufacturers use two formats to show memory addresses. The first format uses a range of hexadecimal addresses, such as 300 to 30F, and the second format uses the base address and the number of individual addresses that the card uses in parentheses, such as 300 (10).

The Installer uses the second format to display memory addresses. If your documentation uses the first format, you need to convert that address to the second format in order to select the correct setting for your card.

Installation Options dialog box

You can choose one of two ways to install AppleShare Client for Windows: standard installation or custom installation.

When you perform a standard installation, the Installer uses defaults for the destination drive (drive c), the destination directory (APPLE\A_SHARE), and the program group name (Apple Network Services). If a driver for your network adapter is not already installed in your computer, the Installer installs an ODI driver and configures AppleShare Client for Windows so that it uses the ODI driver. If your computer is already configured for networking, the Installer installs AppleShare Client for Windows so that it is fully functional, which may reduce the functionality of your existing networking configuration. For details, see the topic "Changes in the Functionality of Your Networking Configuration."

When you perform a custom installation on a computer that is already configured for a networking service, the Installer allows you to specify which networking service (AppleShare Client for Windows or your existing networking service) will have full functionality. The custom installation also allows you to specify the destination drive, the destination directory, and the program group name. The custom installation is also useful for configurations that include two different types of network adapters, one of which is already configured for Windows for Workgroups networking with an NDIS driver. For such configurations, the Installer asks you to identify the second network adapter and installs an ODI driver for it.

You can also use this dialog box to remove AppleShare Client for Windows from your computer. To remove AppleShare, select the Uninstall option and then click the Continue button.

Dialog Boxes

"LASTDRIVE Setting?" dialog box

The Installer has found that your CONFIG.SYS file does not define a value for the LASTDRIVE setting. A LASTDRIVE setting must be defined so that Windows can display free drives, which are used to connect to AppleShare servers.

If you select the "Change LASTDRIVE to M" option, the Installer will set LASTDRIVE to the letter M. When LASTDRIVE is set to M, Windows will display free drives through the letter m. (The actual number of free drives depends on the number of drives that are connected directly to your computer.) Because each free drive uses a small amount of memory, you may want to change the value of the LASTDRIVE setting after the installation process ends by editing the CONFIG.SYS file.

If you select the “Don't make changes” option and you continue with the installation process, you should edit the CONFIG.SYS file after the installation process ends to specify a LASTDRIVE setting that is appropriate for your use of AppleShare Client for Windows.

Note: LASTDRIVE is a standard setting, but may not always be present in the CONFIG.SYS file. If there is no LASTDRIVE entry in the CONFIG.SYS file, you will need to add one.

The Installer has found that your computer is already configured for a networking service. Windows limits the number of networking services that can operate fully at the same time. When one networking service is fully operational, any other networking service can only be partially operational.

Note: Windows for Workgroups supports boths its own network software as well as a second network service. If you are using Windows for Workgroups, the discussion in this topic applies to the second network service.

For example, if your computer is already configured for NetWare and you select the "Replace portions of the current (second) network with AppleShare" option, AppleShare replaces the following NetWare user interface elements:

•	The AppleShare Properties window replaces the NetWare Properties window.

•	AppleShare, rather than NetWare, appears in the Network control panel.

•	AppleShare printer network-connection buttons replace NetWare printer network-connection buttons in Windows dialog boxes and in the Print dialog boxes of applications that support printer network-connection buttons.

If your computer is already configured for NetWare and you select the "Keep existing network configuration" option, AppleShare Client for Windows is installed so that its functionality changes in the following ways:

•	The Netware Properties window is available, but the AppleShare Properties window is not available.

•	NetWare appears instead of AppleShare in the Network control panel.

•	NetWare printer network-connection buttons appear instead of AppleShare printer network-connection buttons.

Uninstall Options dialog box

The Uninstall Options dialog box allows you to remove AppleTalk and AppleShare or AppleShare only. AppleTalk is a networking protocol on which some network applications, such as AppleShare Client for Windows, depend. Your computer may be configured to run another networking application, such as AppleSearch, that also depends on AppleTalk.

If you select the “Remove AppleShare and network drivers” option, the Installer removes both AppleShare Client for Windows and the AppleTalk networking software from your computer.

If you select the "Remove AppleShare only" option,  the Installer removes the AppleShare client software but not the AppleTalk networking software. You might want to remove the AppleShare client software if your computer is configured as an AppleSearch client and you do not want to connect to AppleShare servers.

Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11
Before you begin

Your computer's networking configuration

Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11

Use the Change System Settings dialog box (reached through the Windows Setup dialog box) to examine your configuration.

If your computer is configured for NetWare using IPXODI, you can install AppleShare Client for Windows but you need to decide which networking service (AppleShare Client for Windows or NetWare) you want to function fully. (IPXODI is configured if your computer uses a file named NET.CFG when boots up.) For details about the network functionality when multiple networking services are configured, see the topic "Changes in the Functionality of Your Networking Configuration."

If your computer is configured for NetWare using IPX.COM, you should not install AppleShare Client for Windows. Doing so will cause Windows to become unstable, and some or all networking services will no longer work.

If your computer is configured for PhoneNet PC, the Installer displays a dialog box telling you that Farallon drivers have been detected. When you dismiss the dialog box, the Installer quits. Before you can install AppleShare Client for Windows, you must remove PhoneNet PC because it includes AppleTalk software that is incompatible with the AppleTalk software that comes with AppleShare Client for Windows. For information about removing PhoneNet PC, see the README.TXT file on the floppy disk labeled AppleShare Client for Windows Disk 1.

Your computer's networking configuration

Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Use the Change Network Settings dialog box (reached through the Windows Setup dialog box) to examine your computer's networking configuration.

AppleShare Client for Windows is compatible with the following drivers when the protocol setting is Microsoft NetBeui, IPX/SPX-compatible transport, or IPX/SPX-compatible transport with NetBIOS:

•	Enhanced-mode NDIS driver (NDIS 3.0)

•	ODI driver

•	Real-mode and enhanced-mode NDIS driver (NDIS 2.0 plus the file NDIS2SUP.386)

AppleShare Client for Windows is not compatible with the real-mode NDIS driver or when the protocol setting for any driver is ODI ARcNet support with NetBIOS. In this case, you should not install AppleShare Client for Windows. Doing so will cause Windows to become unstable, and some or all networking services will no longer work.

If your computer is configured for NetWare using IPXODI, you can install AppleShare Client for Windows but you need to decide which networking service (AppleShare Client for Windows or NetWare) you want to function fully. (IPXODI is configured if your computer uses a file named NET.CFG when boots up.)

direct memory access definition
DMA channel

Direct memory access (DMA) is a technique for transferring data between the card and memory. A card that supports direct memory access has an exclusive data transfer route (as opposed to a route that is shared with other cards) and can transfer data more efficiently than cards that do not support DMA. The transfer route is called a channel, and each channel is identified by a number.


interrupt queue definition
Interrupt request queue (IRQ)

An interrupt queue number (such as IRQ 5) identifies the location the card uses to notify the CPU that the card needs to use a system resource. For example, when a card needs to transfer incoming data to main memory, it “interrupts” the CPU to request exclusive access to the data bus. The card doesn’t actually interrupt the CPU. Instead, the card’s request is placed in a queue (hence the term IRQ) that the CPU processes on a regular basis.


on-board memory definition
On-board memory

Some cards provide on-board memory, which allows them to store incoming data and send data to main memory in large chunks. When a card sends data to main memory in large chunks, it interrupts the CPU less frequently and performs I/O operations more efficiently. On-board memory addresses are specified using the same format that is used for the I/O port address.
