OSINNLSP - NEED TO EDIT NLSPATH IN CONFIG.SYS AFTER OS/2 WARP 4
INSTALLATION
10/25/96
=======================================================================
Need to Edit NLSPATH in CONFIG.SYS after OS/2 Warp 4 Installation
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When OS/2 Warp 4 updates an existing SET NLSPATH= statement
in the CONFIG.SYS file during installation, it adds any new paths
to the end of the SET NLSPATH= statement. (New paths should be added
to the beginning of the statement.)
As a result, some system operations display invalid or
incorrect system messages.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, edit the NLSPATH statement in the
CONFIG.SYS file and move the path that OS/2 Warp 4 added to the
beginning of the list as follows:
1. Open an OS/2 Window.
2. Change to the C:\OS2 directory (where C: is the drive where OS/2 is
installed).
3. Edit the old copy of CONFIG.SYS, which is saved by default as
CONFIG.BAK:
Type E C:\CONFIG.BAK, then press Enter
(where C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed).
4. Take note of the SET NLSPATH= statement, then press F3 to exit the
file.
5. Type E C:\CONFIG.SYS, then press Enter (where C: is the drive where
OS/2 is installed).
6. Compare the SET NLSPATH= statement in the old CONFIG.BAK to that in
the new CONFIG.SYS.
7. Move any new additions from the end of the SET NLSPATH statement to
the beginning.
For example, if the CONFIG.BAK file contains the following statement
from before the OS/2 Warp 4 installation:
SET NLSPATH=C:\PRIOR;
and OS/2 Warp 4 installation adds the following path to the
statement:
C:\AFTER
the resulting SET NLSPATH in CONFIG.SYS is:
SET NLSPATH=C:\PRIOR;C:\AFTER;
However, for proper system operation, the NLSPATH should be:
SET NLSPATH=C:\AFTER;C:\PRIOR;
8. Save the file and exit.
9. Shutdown and restart the system for the changes to take effect.
