Installation Instructions
=======================================================================
* Installation
Version 2.0 is being distributed as both a 16-bit Windows
program and a 32-bit windows program.
If you are running Windows 3.x or WFW, you MUST use the
16-bit Navigator even if you have Win32s installed. If you
are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, use the 32-bit Navigator.
To run the 32bit Navigator, you MUST have a 32-bit TCP/IP stack.
Both Windows 95 and Windows NT provide 32bit TCP/IP stacks
that you can setup.
To obtain a copy of Netscape Navigator, first download one of
the self-extracting executable files into a temporary directory.
for 16-bit : n16e20.exe
for 32-bit : n32e20.exe
For 16-bit users, first double click on the self-extracting
file in the File Manager, then run the setup.exe program to
install Netscape Navigator on your machine.
For 32-bit users, double click on the self-extracting file
to start the installation.
* For Win95 users, if you are using any versions prior to this
release, you will get multiple uninstall entries in your
Add/Remove program. If you prefer not having multiple
entries, you should do an uninstall to remove your previous
version of Netscape before you install the new release.
* NAPLAYER, the Netscape audio player, will only work if you have a
sound card installed and configured properly. It will not work with
the PC speaker driver. Please check your sound card manual to
configure the sound card.
* Java is enabled in 32-bit version only.
* Please delete or rename your old CACHE directory and Netscape.hst
file.
* For more information about this release, please read the release
notes under "Help -> Release Notes".
========================================================================
Win32s
========================================================================
For Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups users:
If you are running version 1.15 or below of Win32s, you will be
unable to install the Netscape Navigator unless you upgrade to version
1.20 of Win32s or you remove Win32.
For more information on determining the Win32s version, obtaining or
removing Win32s, please read W32info.txt included in the
self-extracting executable.
=======================================================================
OLE 2.02
=======================================================================
For Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups users:
The Netscape 16bit install program will install the following OLE2
files into the Windows System directory if there is no existing DLL
or if the existing DLL is older:
COMPOBJ.DLL 108544 10-10-94
MFCOLEUI.DLL 146976 1-13-95
OLE2.DLL 302592 10-10-94
OLE2.REG 27026 10-10-94
OLE2CONV.DLL 57328 10-10-94
OLE2DISP.DLL 164832 10-10-94

=======================================================================
Running Netscape
=======================================================================
What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?
You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape.
The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you
can run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator:
1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
2. TCP/IP stack
3. Netscape Navigator software
You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account
from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).
When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP
stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.
If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running
Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking for the
WINSOCK.DLL file that is part of a winsock package.
=======================================================================
International
=======================================================================
The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the
latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit Windows.
For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese
versions are the internationalization of error strings. Occasionally,
the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error message after
installing Netscape. Currently, there are no Japanese versions
available for the OLE2 DLLs. Netscape is working with Microsoft to
make the Japanese version of the OLE2 DLLs available.
