- Installation Notes
- ****************************************************
-
- After upgrading to Win98 are any new release:
-
- If you are installing Windows 98 on top of Windows 95 and
- you have ERS98 already installed, before going any further,
- click Options\Update ERS for Win98. That will replace old Win95
- MS-DOS files in the 1Ers folder with the new Win98 MS-DOS files.
- Then delete all backups made in Win95.
- If you think that you might want to go back to Win95, then save couple Win95
- backups, be sure to note it.
- If you went back to older version, then click Options\Update ERS for Win98 again
- to replace new version with older.
- If accidently made an ERS98 restore from a Win95 backup, then simply re-restore
- from a Win98 backup.
- If you are installing ERS98 on top of Windows 98 then you are ready to go.
- ERS98 Version 8.69 and up should detect Windows build version changes
- and notify you to update.
-
- Choice.com
- ----------
- If while installing you get the message "Unable to find Choice.com",
- this is an important file to have, it should be in the Windows\Command folder.
- It didn't come with Win95 retail version that came on floppies in the 1995 release.
- If you have Win95 retail version that was released in 1995 and you didn't
- update it with the Win95 OLD MS-DOS update, then download Choice.com at
- http://www.mslm.com/ersmore.htm
- and copy it to the Windows\Command directory and C:\1Ers folder.
-
- Windows\Temp
- ------------
- If you have a command line in the Autoexec.bat to delete Win95
- temporary files in the C:\Windows\Temp upon startup then the DLL
- update will not take affect if it prompts you to restart computer.
- Remove the line from the Autoexec.bat when you are installing programs
- that requires a reboot.
-
- The DLL update are supplied by Microsoft and are absolutely safe,
- it actually makes Win95 950a recognize the year 2000.
- Win98 and OSR 2.53(that is OSR2c NOT OSR2b) already recognizes
- the year 2000.
- Internet Explorer 3.02 up and any of Microsoft software that were
- released after October of 1997 have the same update.
- Recognize doesn't mean remove all bugs associated with the year
- 2000 and up.
-
- ERS keeps its data in its own registry (.dat files) instead of using
- Win95 Registry. ERS doesn't make any modifications or entries to the
- Registry or any other system files, it merely makes new ERS directories,
- then copies ERS files to the appropriate directories. It places a Shortcut
- icon in the Start menu for easy access.
