System requirements

To run Corel Paradox 8, you need the following:

•	Personal computer with 486/66 processor

•	Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0

•	8 MB RAM (16 MB recommended)

•	42 MB of hard disk space for Compact installation*

•	58 MB of hard disk space for a Typical installation

•	81 MB of hard disk space for a Custom setup with full installation

•	CD-ROM recommended for installation

•	VGA Graphics Adapter and monitor

•	Mouse

*The disk space requirements listed here are only for Corel Paradox 8, and vary according to the sector size of your hard disk. The Setup program indicates the correct figure for your destination disk.


Resuming a failed installation

If you receive an error message during the installation process telling you that a particular file being installed is not a valid Windows 95 file or asking you to insert a disk you have already inserted, you can cancel the installation process, run the Corel Paradox 8 Setup program again, then resume the installation when prompted. If you have done this several times with no results, you may need to disable your system's disk caching before running the Setup program again.


Removing older versions of Paradox

It is not necessary to remove older versions of Paradox before installing Corel Paradox 8. The Setup program for the suite does not overwrite or remove pre-Windows 95, or Windows 95 versions of Paradox. However, you may need to remove these applications to free up disk space for an installation.

To remove other applications to preserve disk space,

1	Click Start on the Windows 95 Taskbar, then click Settings Control Panel.

2	Click Add/Remove Programs, then follow the on-screen prompts.

If Add/Remove Programs does not include an option to remove the program, see if the original Setup or Install program includes an Uninstall option. If there isn't an Uninstall option, delete the program files manually or use one of the uninstall programs available from your software retailer.


Command Line Switches

There are several command line switches you can use with NETSETUP.EXE and SETUP.EXE. For a detailed list of the command line switches, see the appendices in the Corel Application Management Guide in the Reference Center on the Corel Paradox 8 CD-ROM.


Installing Corel Paradox 8 on a Network

There are two versions of the Setup program on your Corel Paradox 8 CD-ROM:

NETSETUP.EXE	Network Setup installs Corel Paradox 8 on a network server. Use Network Setup to create a shared installation of the applications.

SETUP.EXE	Workstation Setup installs Corel Paradox 8 on a workstation (network client computer) or on a stand-alone computer.

Only the network administrator or applications manager should run NETSETUP.EXE.

For detailed information on how to perform a network installation of Corel Paradox 8, including installing to a server, and installing to a client, see the Corel Application Management Guide in the Reference Center on the Corel Paradox 8 CD-ROM. Although the contents of the Management Guide refers to Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 throughout the document, it applies equally to Corel Paradox 8 as they share the same application management system.


Installing to an NDS Server Using Microsoft's Services for NDS

When installing to a NetWare 4.x server using Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services or Microsoft Client Services for NetWare, you must use Mapped drives when choosing the Workstation installation path. Do not use UNC paths. If you use the NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 or Novell7 IntranetWare(TM) Client for Windows NT you can install to a Novel7 NDS(TM) server using UNC paths or Mapped drives.

Note

You are given the choice between UNC paths and Mapped drives during Network Setup not Workstation installation.


Borland Database Engine (BDE) and Uninstalling Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Corel Paradox 8

If you install Corel Paradox 8 and Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 on the same system, and uninstall one or the other, the BDE may be removed from your system. The operating system registry keeps track of the number of applications that are using the BDE in the UseCount key in the following line of the registry (Run Regedit and search for UseCount):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine]

"SAVECONFIG"="WIN32"

"RESOURCE"="0009"

"UseCount"="1"

"DLLPATH"="C:\\Corel\\Suite8\\Shared\\IDAPI"

"CONFIGFILE01"="C:\\Corel\\Suite8\\Shared\\IDAPI\\IDAPI.CFG"

If you are going to remove Corel Paradox 8 or Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 from your system but would like to keep the BDE intact, then you should simply increment this number by 1 before removing the program. The Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 setup program may not have incremented the number itself upon installation.


Using Corel Paradox 8 in a Peer-to-Peer Network Environment

A Peer-To-Peer network (a network where each machine acts as a client and a server) can be one of the following, including other network platforms that are compatible with these:

1) Windows 95

2) Windows NT

3) Lantastic

4) Netware Lite

The BDE automatically detects when tables reside on a network drive, but it cannot detect whether the tables are on a dedicated server or a server/client. Dedicated servers notify client applications that a file has been modified or locked. This functionality is not present in

Peer-To-Peer (non-dedicated) networks. To achieve this functionality with Peer-To-Peer networks set "LOCAL SHARE" to TRUE in the BDE Configuration Utility on the System page. This must be done on all BDE clients that access the tables on networks listed above. This is not

necessary for Novell File Server type networks.


Microsoft Access driver in the BDE

The Access driver does not support DAO 3.5 (Access 97). If you upgrade Access 95 to Access 97, DAO 3.0 still resides on your machine, so the driver will function correctly. If you install

Access 97 with no prior version of Access 95, the driver will not function.
