OSINMMCD - CID INSTALLATION OF OS/2 WARP MULTIMEDIA
10/18/96
=======================================================================
CID Installation of OS/2 Warp Multimedia
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
This document describes how to use CID (Configuration, Installation,
and Distribution) to install OS/2 Warp Multimedia.
RESOLUTION
Installation of Multimedia
--------------------------
MultiMedia support is fully CID enabled with OS/2 Warp versions. Since
it requires Presentation Manager (PM) to execute, there are two steps
to installation of MultiMedia:
1. During the initial response file install of base OS/2 it is
necessary for the MMOS2 files to be copied to the hard disk so that
they can be installed after restarting to PM. If you set the
keyword MultiMediaSupport=1 in the base response file,
the multimedia files will be copied to the \MMTEMP subdirectory on
the target.
2. Once you restart to PM, you will need to complete the multimedia
installation using the following command:
C:\MMTEMP\MINSTALL /M
This will install the relevant files to the \MMOS2 subdirectory and
clean up the \MMTEMP subdirectory.
The MINSTALL Switches
/M Tells MINSTALL to use the MMTEMP subdirectory as the source
/C: Creates a response file for the multimedia options installed
/R: Points to a response file to be used for the install
(unattended)
/F: Points to a control file for installing other products such
as Video IN and MMViewer
Installing the MultiMedia Viewer and VideoIN using CID
To install MMViewer or VideoIN using CID you must first create a
response file. This is done as follows:
Note: This example demonstrates installation of MMViewer;
for VideoIN installation, substitute CONTROL.VIN as the control
file.
1. Install the product as normal, but also create a response file for
future installs. The command to do this is:
C:\MMOS2\MINSTALL /F:X:\IMG\MMVIEWER\CONTROL.MMV
/C:X:\RSP\MMVIEWER\MMVIEWER.RSP
This is a sample MMVIEWER.RSP response file:
/* Response file generated by MMPM/2 Install */
MMINSTSOURCE = "X:\\IMG\\MMVIEWER"
MMINSTTARGET = "C:"
CHANGECONFIG = "Y"
MMINSTGROUPS =
(
GROUP.31 = " "
GROUP.33 = " "
GROUP.34 = " "
GROUP.46 = " "
)
Note: The path to the source is separated by double back slash.
2. Once you have created the response file, use it to install the
product on other workstations with the following command:
C:\MMOS2\MINSTALL /R:X:\RSP\MMVIEWER\MMVIEWER.RSP
