- Preliminaries
- -------------
- Before installing this package, please ensure you have removed any
- previous installations of DeskNite from your hard disk by clicking
- the supplied uninstall icon shortcut in your DeskNite start menu
- folder. This applies even if you are intending to install DeskNite
- Color Edition in place of DeskNite basic.
-
- Due to the nature of the DeskNite .inf-based installation routine,
- YOU MUST REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER at this stage so that Windows can update
- its system files after the previous uninstall session.
-
- If in any doubt whatsoever, reboot your computer now.
-
-
- Windows automatic installation
- ------------------------------
-
- Your DeskNite package is installed simply by double clicking on
- the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
- DeskNite.zip to a folder of your choosing. We suggest a temporary
- folder in your Windows\Temp\ directory.
-
- Highly recommendend is the excellent WinZip utility. Winzip will automate
- the DeskNite setup with just a press of the Install button on the
- Winzip toolbar.
-
- You can get the latest version of Winzip from
-
- http://www.winzip.com
-
-
- We DO NOT recommend the use of utilities which render zip files
- transparent or which interfere in some way with normal file-system
- operations. These include Zip Magic and the Windows 98 'compact folders'
- facility. We hereby disclaim any obligation to support problems brought
- about by your use of such utilities with DeskNite. All such use is
- entirely at your own risk.
-
-
- Installation: potential problem areas
- -------------------------------------
-
- 1) DeskNite's compact .inf based installer does not like long filenames,
- including, but not limited to, filenames containing spaces. Microsoft's
- collossal faux pas, 'Program Files', is a classic case in point.
-
- Installation may fail if you specify 'Program Files\..' as your install
- path.
-
- We therefore strongly urge you to accept the default directory,
- c:\coeli\desknite\.., or have the installer create a new folder
- within sensible Win3/DOS filename constraints.
-
-
-
- Removal of DeskNite
- --------------------
-
- DeskNite may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
- Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
- double-clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
- shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
- from which you should select the item 'DeskNite' for
- automatic removal.
