Installation

INSTALLING J.Q.L. LOTTERY FOR WINDOWS.

First you need to set up J.Q.L. Lottery to run on your computer.

Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or greater (from now on referred to as Windows) must be installed on your computer. For information on installing and using Windows, please see your Windows documentation.

Switch on your computer and monitor.

FROM WINDOWS

1.	Start Windows. If windows is not running, type  WIN  at the command prompt (the  C:>  prompt) and press ENTER.

2.	Open the Windows Program Manager window. If the Windows Program Manager window is not open, double-click on the Program Manager icon, (or press CTRL+ESC to display the Windows Task List, and press the DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW key until the Program Manager item is highlighted, press ENTER to select the item).

3.	Insert the J.Q.L. Lottery program disk into your floppy disk drive (if you are using a 5 1/4 inch disk or a drive that has a door, then close the door).

4.	From the Program Manager window, click on the word FILE to open the menu and click on RUN, (or press ALT+F, and press the R key).

5.	In the Command Line box, type   A:\SETUP.

(If you are using a different drive to drive A:, then type the correct drive letter instead of "A:".  e.g. if you are using drive B:, then type  B:\SETUP).

6.	Click on the OK button or press ENTER.

7.	Once the Setup Program has loaded, a series of instructions will appear on your screen, just select the options which best match your system and requirements.

Note the setup program expects to find your Windows SYSTEM directory and your WINDOWS directory on the same drive as the JQLLOT directory. If you want to place Lottery on a different drive you will need to edit the file INSTALL.INF and change all the entries ..\WINDOWS and ..\WINDOWS\SYSTEM to point to the correct drive and directory (i.e. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). The INSTALL.INF file already has C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM REMed Out in the appropriate places should you wish to make the changes.

8.	J.Q.L. Lottery will create its own Program Group in your Program Manager window.

9.	If you encounter problems running Lottery make sure VBRUN300.DLL and CTL3DV2.DLL are in your SYSTEM directory.

If the Problem still persists then lower your screen resolution to either 800 x 600 256 colours or to 640 x 480 16 colours (i.e. the "bog standard" VGA Windows driver).

Note.

If VBRUN300.DLL or CTL3DV2.DLL are not in your Windows SYSTEM directory then they must be copied across otherwise J.Q.L. Lottery will not run.

From DOS type:

COPY C:\JQLLOT\VBRUN300.DLL  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VBRUN300.DLL

COPY C:\JQLLOT\CTL3DV2.DLL  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CTL3DV2.DLL

(each of these commands should be all on one line)


REMed Out

The term REMed Out stands for REMark which is a comment or non-executable program line.

In INSTALL.INF the semi-colon character is used to denote a REM statement. To change the entries in INSTALL.INF see the example below

Miscellaneous

The File List

Manually Expand The Files


THE FILES

J.Q.L. Lottery was written in Visual Basic 3.0 (VB for short), and therefore requires the Visual Basic Run-time Dynamic Link Library, VBRUN300.DLL. The 3D Message Boxes require a separate Dynamic Link Library, CTL3DV2.DLL and the Grid displays require a separate Dynamic Link Library, GRID.VBX.

The Setup Program will copy VBRUN300.DLL and CTL3DV2.DLL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Please do not remove these files (even if you remove J.Q.L. Lottery from your system), otherwise J.Q.L. Lottery will not load and an error message will be displayed.

Do not move GRID.VBX or CMDIALOG.VBX or COMMDLG.DLL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory because there are various versions of this files which are not always compatible with each other.

Note for VB Programmers: GRID.VBX is the upgraded version (version number: 03.00.0538) dated 14th June 1993. This version is supposed to stop the previous compatibility and GPF problems.
