- June 18, 1993. Instructions for installation of OS/2 2.1 PMWP.DLL fix.
-
-
- Boot OS/2 2.1 from the Install diskette, and insert Disk 1 when requested.
- At the first installation welcome panel, press the Esc key to exit to a
- command prompt.
-
- Change the current drive and current directory to the location of the
- 3 fix files - APPLYFIX.CMD, PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP. This may be on a
- diskette or hard drive dependant on where you chose to place these fix
- files when you received them.
-
- Type the following command
- applyfix c:
- where "c:" is the harddisk that OS/2 2.1 has been installed to.
-
- The applyfix program will replace the PMWP.DLL in the \OS2\DLL directory,
- and will create a backup copy in \OS2\ARCHIVE\OS2\DLL. This backup copy
- will be needed if any future fixes are to be applied - it is suggested you
- keep this backup copy on diskette should you need to delete the backup
- from your harddisk.
-
- This PMWP.DLL fixes the following problem :
-
- 1. APAR PJ08808 - When installing 2.1 over an earlier version of OS/2
- without formatting, the system may reboot to a white screen and
- fail to bring up the desktop.
-
- 2. APAR PJ08727 - The final "shutdown complete" message is displayed
- underneath the "shutdown please wait" message on some systems.
-
- 3. APAR PJ08606 - Mass duplication of template objects after creating
- a shadow.
