INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR TASKBAR v2.62
Installing from diskette
------------------------
1. Insert the program disk in a diskette
drive.
2. From the desktop, open the icon view
of the diskette drive.
3. Double-click on the 'INSTALL.EXE'
object.
4. Push the 'Install' button.
5. Follow the prompts.
Installing from a downloaded ZIP archive
----------------------------------------
1. Unzip the contents of the archive into
a *temporary* directory.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A
PREVIOUS VERSION OF TASKBAR, DO *NOT*
UNZIP THE CONTENTS OF THIS ARCHIVE
INTO YOUR EXISTING TASKBAR PROGRAM
DIRECTORY!
2. Run the installation program by typing
in an OS/2 command line session:
'd:\path\INSTALL'
where d:\path\ contains the path name
of the temporary directory used in
step 1.
You may also run the installation
program from your desktop by opening
the folder for the temporary directory
created in step 1 and double-clicking
on the 'INSTALL.EXE' object.
3. Push the 'Install' button.
4. Follow the prompts.
5. After the installation has completed,
you may safely delete the contents of
the temporary directory created in
step 1 (but don't delete your
downloaded ZIP archive -- you'll need
it if you ever need to reinstall).
Both diskette and ZIP file installation
---------------------------------------
When installation is complete, if
necessary, the taskbar program directory
will have been added to the LIBPATH and
HELP statements in your Config.Sys, the
Taskbar class will have been registered
with the Workplace Shell, and a folder
containing the various taskbar program and
documentation objects will have been
created on your desktop. In addition,
install places a shadow of the Taskbar
object in your startup folder. The
following files will have been placed in
your taskbar program directory:
Taskbar.DLL
TskBarHk.DLL
Taskbar.HLP
Install.EXE
InstTool.DLL
TBInst.DLL
OrderFrm.VPT
READ.ME
RUNCHK.DAT
VPRPTDLL.DLL
Uninstal.CMD
After installation, the on-line help file
can be accessed by activating the popup
menu on the taskbar object and selecting
the 'Help' menu item. On-line help can also
be accessed by double-clicking on the
'User Guide' object in the Taskbar folder.
The install procedure will create a log
file named 'TASKBAR.LOG' in the root
directory of your boot drive. If you
encounter a problem during the install
process, please enclose a copy of this
log file with your problem report. You
may safely delete this file once the
install process has completed successfully.
OS/2 2.1 users
--------------
The installation program requires that OS/2
REXX support be installed. If REXX support
is not installed, you will need to do an
OS/2 selective install and install REXX
support before installing Taskbar.
If you later upgrade from OS/2 2.1 to OS/2
Warp, you should reinstall the taskbar
program so that you can use the Warp
optimized version of the program.
Upgrading from previous versions
--------------------------------
If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Taskbar, do *NOT* try to keep
multiple versions of the program installed
at the same time.
Upgrading from v2.00 or lower
-----------------------------
If you are currently using version 2.00 or
lower of Taskbar, before installing this
upgrade:
1. Delete the taskbar shadow object from
your startup folder.
2. Delete the taskbar program object from
your desktop.
3. Delete all instances of the files
Taskbar.EXE and TskBarHk.DLL from
your hard drive.
Upgrading from v2.5x
--------------------
No special actions are necessary if you
are installing over an existing copy of
version 2.50 or 2.51 of Taskbar. You will
be required, however, to install this
upgrade into the same directory in which
the current version is installed. Note
that the installation procedure will fix
your LIBPATH statement so that the entry
for the taskbar directory will come after
the entry for the '.' directory (this is
needed to keep installs of future versions
from failing).
If you wish to install the new version of
the program into a different directory than
the current version, you will need to
uninstall your existing copy of 2.5x before
installing the new version. Version 2.5x
can be uninstalled by doing the following:
1. Start the INSTALL.EXE program included
with your copy of version 2.62.
2. Push the 'Uninstall' button.
3. Follow the prompts.
Upgrading from 2.60 and above
-----------------------------
If you are currently using version 2.60 or
higher of Taskbar, you must install this
upgrade into the same directory in which
the current version is installed. If you
want to change directories, you must
uninstall the old version before
installing the new version.
Uninstalling
------------
To uninstall the program,
1. Open the taskbar folder.
2. Double-click on the Uninstall icon.
3. Follow the prompts.
If you received your copy of taskbar on
diskette, you may also uninstall by:
1. Insert the program disk in a diskette
drive.
2. From the desktop, open the icon view
of the diskette drive.
3. Double-click on the 'INSTALL.EXE'
object.
4. Push the 'Uninstall' button.
5. Follow the prompts.
If you received your copy of taskbar by
downloading a ZIPped archive file, you
may also uninstall by:
1. Unzip the contents of the archive into
a temporary directory.
2. Start an OS/2 command line session.
3. Run the installation program by typing
'd:\path\INSTALL'
where d:\path\ contains the path name
of the temporary directory used in
step 1.
4. Push the 'Uninstall' button.
5. Follow the prompts.
The uninstall procedure will:
1. Delete the taskbar objects from your
desktop and deregister the Taskbar
class.
2. Delete the taskbar program files from
your hard drive.
3. If the appropriate check boxes in the
uninstall dialog box are checked,
remove the taskbar directory from
the LIBPATH and SET HELP= statements
in your Config.Sys.
4. Delete all references to taskbar from
your OS2.INI file.
If uninstall encountered any locked files
or if any modifications were made to your
Config.Sys, you will be told to shutdown
your system and reboot.
Do *NOT* try to uninstall this program by
manually deleting files from the OS/2
command line. You *MUST* use the provided
Uninstall program.
The uninstall procedure will create a log
file named 'TASKBAR.LOG' in the root
directory of your boot drive. If you
encounter a problem during the uninstall
process, please enclose a copy of this
log file with your problem report. You
may safely delete this file once the
uninstall process has completed
successfully.
