WinMed
(c) iDRSystems Ltd 1993
Thank you for trying the shareware version of WinMed.
> To install WinMed you need to be in Windows' Program Manager.
> Choose (File) then (Run). Type a:setup and press OK.
> Follow the instructions on screen.
WinMed will install into its own group as we prefer this for future
addons. If you wish you may, once it is installed, move the icon to
another group and to delete the WinMed group. The upgrade does not rely
on its presence.
**************************** IMPORTANT! *****************************
POINT 1 ...
There are some peculiarities in the Setup Kit supplied with Visual Basic
that are outside our control. Setup transfers three files, including
VER.DLL and VBRUN300.DLL to the Windows\System directory before our
setup code is even loked at. This would be ok BUT Windows does not want
to overwrite newer versions by the versions being transferred and 'bombs'
out without so much as a 'by your leave'.
THEREFORE ... if you find that the setup refuses to transfer either of
the above two files and returns you to Program Manager - Microsoft have
suggested that VER.DLL and VBRUN300.DLL are WRITE PROTECTED i.e
Attributes set to read only in your Windows\System subdirectory.
Do this in File Manager. Select one of the above files with a single click,
choose (Files) then (Properties) and click on the [Read Only] selection.
Do this for both files. When you then install, and Windows says it cannot
copy these files, click OK and the installation will continue.
POINT 2 ...
As usual Norton's Desktop for Windows may throw a wobbly if being used as
the default desktop manager. If you have this installed, revert to Program
Manager before installing WinMed. Even when Running WinMed, NDW may still
have problems with deciding which window is active and requires to be on
the top, ie visible to you.
Solutions to the above will appear in a future update but the time taken
to write code for this is innapropriate at present, we feel.
Thank you and we hope you find WinMed useful. Don't forget to register if
you do. That way we'll be able to continue working on it and increasing
its scope and interest.
