GkSetup Readme
This is the first released version of GkSetup. There is no
additional documentation package. The only thing you have is this
readme. To use this software you need a copy of Microsofts COMPRESS.EXE.
Don't ask me where to get it !
You should have noticed that GkSetup is packaged with itself.
If you liked that Setup you will like the ones you create
with this package.
Vital Parts of this software:
BLDSETUP.EXE
This is a graphical utility for creating a file called SETUP.OPT.
It contains necessary information about your Setup Project.
It also calls COMP.BAT with runs COMPRESS.EXE. You may
adapt this one to point to the correct path.
The data file created will be called SETUP.DAT / SETUP.DA_
SETUP.EXE
This is the Setup application itself. It reads the compressed
Setup data and contains this nice user interface.
GKSUI10.EXE
This is the little utility for the automatic uninstall feature.
After the last GkSetup-Application has been uninstalled it
also removes itself using the wininit mechanism.
To create you own Setup.
Step 1: Create/Edit your data
2 directories called NORMAL and SYSTEM should have been installed
with the GKSetup package. Into the NORMAL directory you should copy
all files that should be copied to your applications target
directory.
The files copied into the SYSTEM directory will be copied to
your customers Windows\SYSTEM directory.
*** If you need the automatic uninstall
GKSUI10.EXE has to remain in this directory ! Do NOT DELETE it !
Step 2: Edit Readme/License files
If you are planning to display a readme/license text you have to
create a README.TXT and LICENSE.TXT.
Step 3: BLDSETUP - Create/Edit Setup Options
Launch BLDSETUP.EXE, select new and follow all available steps.
Everything should be easy enough for not explaining it here.
If not... ask me. (dc6jgk@geocities.com).
The last step... Build it ...will create YOUR SETUP.OPT and SETUP.DA_
for your setup project.
Step 4: Create distribution media
Copy YOUR Readme and License File to your media.
Copy SETUP.EXE, SETUP.OPT and SETUP.DA_ to your media.
Step 5: *** TEST IT ***
If you made your first program. Send me a copy... (Please !!!!!!!!!)
