- Installation
- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-
- RideWay should be installed only on a PC (Server PC) that has direct access
- to the Internet via a LAN or a dial-up connection. Do not install RideWay on
- PCs (Client PCs) which will access the Internet through RideWay.
-
- RideWay is distributed as either
- - rideway-setup.exe: a self-extract executable file or
- - rideway-setup.zip: a ZIP file
-
- If you download 'rideway-setup.exe', run this executable either at
- a DOS prompt or from Windows 95/NT Explorer to start the installation.
-
- If you download 'rideway-setup.zip', please unzip this file and extract
- the 2 unzipped files ('Setup.exe' and 'Readme.txt') to a directory of your
- choice. Run the executable ('Setup.exe') either at a DOS prompt or
- from Windows 95/NT Explorer to start the installation.
-
- The installation process is straight-forward and is guided by InstallShield(TM).
- You need only supply your name and company name during the installation process.
- If you have an earlier version of RideWay installed on your system, you should
- install the new version to a different directory. Otherwise the installation
- will not complete correctly. When installation is finished, you can find RideWay
- in the 'RideWay ...' group in the Windows 95/NT 'Start' menu.
-
- RideWay can be un-installed through 'Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs'.
- Select 'RideWay ...' and doubly-click the 'Add/Remove' button. You will
- then be asked for a confirmation before RideWay is removed.
-
- When RideWay is run the first time after the installation it will check
- if there is an earlier version on your system. If so it will ask if you
- want to copy the settings from the earlier version. So if you want to
- keep your old settings you should un-install the old version after you
- have installed the new version and run the new version for at least one
- time.
