-
- ****************************************************************
- !!! IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES, PLEASE READ !!!
- ****************************************************************
-
- IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM DURING OR AFTER THE INSTALLATION,
- PLEASE NOTIFY MIJENIX. WE WILL TRY TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE
- PROBLEM. Mijenix's address can be found at the end of this file.
-
- -> WizManager's Buttonbar uses powerful techniques to provide
- speed and innovative features. This can push certain Windows
- video drivers for ACCELERATED video boards to the edge. Make
- sure you have the latest video drivers for your video board.
- Standard Windows video drivers (VGA and SuperVGA) cause no
- problem.
-
- If you encounter General Protection Fault (GPF) error
- messages while running WizManager, start the Windows Setup
- program and change the video driver of your system to a
- standard Windows video driver (VGA or Super VGA for example)
- and determine whether General Protection Fault messages still
- appear. If they don't, update the video drivers you were
- using to the latest available version.
-
- -> DO NOT DECLARE MORE THAN 4 EXTENSIONS IN THE WINFILE.INI
- [AddOns] section:
-
- Extensions to File Manager are not executable files (EXE) but
- Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) which are automatically loaded by
- File Manager when the latter is started and destroyed when File
- Manager is closed.
-
- How does File Manager 'know' or recognize extensions?
-
- File Manager gets all the necessary information by reading its
- initialization file WINFILE.INI (not WIN.INI!) which is located
- in the Windows directory. The different data in WINFILE.INI is
- sorted by sections (a section title is enclosed in square
- brackets [...]). The section of interest for recognizing and
- loading extensions is called [AddOns]. This is where extension
- paths are declared, one per line, in the form (example):
-
- [AddOns]
- Extension1=PathToExtension1\extension1.dll
- Extension2=PathToExtension2\extension2.dll
-
- Each extension will add a top-level menu to File Manager. The
- documentation for the Windows File Manager Extender Interface
- states that 5 top-level menus may be added to the File Manager
- menu. However, due to what appears to be a bug in Windows File
- Manager, the fifth menu item does not work properly. Any
- command selected from the fifth menu item becomes confused with
- the adjacent File Manager "Window" menu, and the corresponding
- command from the "Window" menu is executed instead.
-
- What this means is simple:
- DO NOT DECLARE MORE THAN 4 EXTENSIONS IN THE [AddOns] section!
-
- You may presently be using File Manager Extensions, like
-
- - DOS 6 Tools (Microsoft)
- - MetzLaunch (Metz TaskManager)
- - NDW (Norton Desktop)
- - File Commander (Wilson WindowWare)
- - FExtend (BarbarSoft)
- - or others.
-
- As File Manager limits you to 4 extensions, it is up to you to
- "keep up" and maintain the [AddOns] section of WINFILE.INI. If
- you have more than 4 declarations under [AddOns], simply type a
- ';' (without the quotes) at the beginning of the line(s) you
- want File Manager to ignore. This lets you keep all the
- declarations in case you decide later to alter your choices and
- start only the ones you need.
-
- During the installation of WizManager, the [AddOns] section of
- WINFILE.INI is updated to include the WizManager library path.
- This declaration is appended at the end of the [AddOns]
- section. If more than 3 other declarations exist above
- WizManager's line, proceed as explained above to cancel out one
- or more declarations (use Notepad.exe for example to edit
- WINFILE.INI, and modify the [AddOns] entries only).
-
- ****************************************************************
- WINDOWS NT
- ****************************************************************
-
- Mijenix will soon port WizManager to the 32-bit world of
- Windows NT. However, the WizManager version you have installed
- is a set of 16-bit DLL's written for Windows 3.10 and Windows
- for Workgroups (WFW); it will not work under Windows NT.
