How to apply the maintenance release to Norton Navigator 1.0 or 95.0.a ====================================================================== Check the "About box" in Norton File Manager (access from the Help menu) to see which version you currently have installed. Make sure you have the correct patch file for that version. NNPATCH will not allow you to patch the incorrect version. To perform the upgrade, while in Windows, change to the folder or disk containing the update files and double-click on the file NNPATCH. The update can take a long time to complete. Installing the patch from floppy disks ====================================== To copy the patch files so that you can install them from floppy disks, copy all the files from the original patch distribution self-extracting file to 1.44MB floppies in this order: Disk1: ------ NNPATCH.EXE PATCH.0 PATCH.DLL PATCH.INI PATCH.PIF READNOW.TXT Disk2: ------ PATCH.1 To install from this floppy set, insert floppy 1 and double-click on the file NNPATCH. Troubleshooting =============== If the files for the previous version of Norton Navigator do not have their original date/time stamps, the patch will not update these files. If you currently have multiple users on the system to be upgraded (User Profile support is enabled), the original user who installed Norton Navigator should run the upgrade patch. Depending on which options you chose when you installed the previous version of Norton Navigator, some files may be skipped during the patch process. This is normal behavior and these files will not be necessary if they were not originally installed. Here is a list of files that can be skipped: ctl3d32.dll, "Shared 3D support file for Setup" (no longer used) mailbusi.ctl, "Online Registration" pipeline.dll, "Online Registration" pipeline.ini, "Online Registration" register.inf, "Online Registration" siwpipl.exe, "Online Registration" sslib.dll, "Online Registration" migrate.exe, "Desktop Importer" migrate.hlp, "Desktop Importer Help" wnmw16.dll, "Desktop Importer Library" wnmw32.dll, "Desktop Importer Library" If you encounter further problems installing the Norton Navigator Maintenance Release, it could be due to damaged or missing critical Norton Navigator 1.0 or 95.0.a files. To remedy this problem, completely uninstall Norton Navigator, reinstall from your original disks, and then run the Norton Navigator 95.0.b Maintenance Release patch program (NNPATCH.EXE).
