- The Alpha and OmegaWare Setup Program
-
- The Setup Program is a utility designed to make
- installation easy. Users of CisNodes version 1.0 installing a
- newer version of CisNodes should delete the directory and its
- contents, as well as any group or icon created in association
- with this previous version, prior to running the setup program.
- The setup program will copy files from a source to a destination
- drive and directory. It will also create a group and the icons
- automatically. Below are specific instructions necessary for your
- type of setup. Also, on line Help is available in Setup.
-
- From Compressed File
- Your compressed file should be copied to a directory on the
- hard drive and decompressed. If necessary, refer to your
- compression/decompression manual for these instructions. Next,
- you may choose to copy all the files except the compressed file
- to a floppy disk, to make installation and re-installation
- easier. If installing from this copied disk, you can delete all
- the files in this directory and the directory itself, and follow
- "From Distribution Diskette" instructions in next section.
- If you have not copied these files to a floppy diskette,
- start up Windows and pick FILE|RUN from the Program Manager's
- menu. Type in the [fullpath] to the Setup Program. For
- instance, if you just unpacked the compressed file in a directory
- called C:\TEMP, you would type ["C:\TEMP\SETUP"] and press
- {Enter}. The program will then prompt you to:
- a) Use the FROM Entry Box to enter the [path] where the
- source files exist. Example: C:\TEMP
- b) Use the TO Entry Box to enter the [path] to the
- destination directory where the files will reside, that
- is, where you would like to run this product from. (Note:
- The destination directory must not exist prior to running
- the Setup program.) Example: C:\ALPHA
- c) Choose OK upon receiving the "Complete" message to
- finalize setup procedure.
-
-
- From Distribution Diskette
- Start up Windows, insert the distribution diskette in your
- floppy drive, and pick FILE|RUN. Type in the [drive letter][":
- SETUP"]. For instance, if your distribution diskette is in drive
- A, you would type A:SETUP and press {Enter}. The program will
- then prompt you to:
- a) Use the FROM Entry Box to enter a [path] where the
- source files exist. Example: A:
- b) Use the TO Entry Box to enter the [path] to the
- destination directory where the files will reside,
- that is, where you would like to run this product from.
- (Note: The destination directory must not exist prior to
- running the Setup program.) Example: C:\ALPHA
- c) Choose OK upon receiving the "Complete" message to
- finalize setup procedure.

- Troubleshooting
- If you have trouble using the Setup Program, you may choose
- to manually install this product. For manual install
- instructions, you must decompress your product's manual. If
- dealing with a distribution diskette, you must create a directory
- of your choice on your hard drive. At the DOS prompt, type:
- [drive][":\EXPAND"] [sourcefile.ext] [destinationfile.ext]
- {Enter}. Example: If the directory you created on the hard drive
- is C:\TEMP, and you're dealing with a distribution diskette that
- is in Drive A, the command would be A:\EXPAND A:\MANUAL.DO_
- C:\TEMP\MANUAL.DOC. Now your manual is decompressed and ready for
- viewing on the screen. Advance to the "Manual Install" section to
- continue installing this product.
