- -------------
- The current version of the Setup program supplied by Microsoft will not
- install Magic Squares onto a networked machine. This is because the Setup
- program is unable to find the location of the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
- Microsoft have promised a fix for this problem. For a workaround please see
- the section on manual installation.
-
-
- Installation problems
- ---------------------
- All installation problems seem to occur when version 3.0 of Windows is in
- use. There is a known problem with some early versions of LZEXPAND.DLL
- supplied with Windows 3.0. Also, installation problems arise when some
- DLL's are duplicated in both the \WINDOWS and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories.
-
- The setup program actually consists of two programs, the first copies across
- system files mainly required for the installation while the second program
- copies across the Magic Squares application files. As both programs check
- that enough space is available on your hard disk for the application it's
- possible the installation may fail due to lack of disk space. If this
- happens then you will have to free up some disk space before attempting to
- re-install. However, if the installation fails with an error message similar
- to the following:-
-
- Unable to copy A:\SETUP1.EX_ -> C:\WINDOWS\SETUP1.EXE
-
- first of all copy the file LZEXPAND.EX_ from the Magic Squares diskette to
- your hard disk using the following command from the DOS prompt:-
-
- EXPAND /r A:\LZEXPAND.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
-
- N.B. this assumes you are installing from drive A, your Windows sub-directory
- is named \WINDOWS & your hard disk is drive C. If you are installing from
- drive B to drive D & your Windows sub-directory is named \WIN31 then the
- command would be:-
-
- EXPAND /r B:\LZEXPAND.EX_ D:\WIN3\SYSTEM
-
- Re-run Setup from the File Manager.
-
-
-
- Manual Installation
- -------------------
-
- Make a directory on your hard disk for the Magic Squares files:-
-
- MD \WMS
-
- logon to drive A (B if you are installing from drive B) and copy the
- following files from the Magic Squares diskettte to your hard disk:-
-
- EXPAND /r WMS.EX_ C:\WMS
- EXPAND /r WMS.HL_ C:\WMS
- EXPAND /r WMS.DA_ C:\WMS
-
- if you are on a network copy the following files to the \WINDOWS
- sub-directory:-
-
- EXPAND /r VBRUN300.EX_ C:\WINDOWS
- EXPAND /r THREED.VB_ C:\WINDOWS
-
-
- if you are not on a network copy the following files to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- sub-directory:-
-
- EXPAND /r VBRUN300.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- EXPAND /r THREED.VB_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
