- II. STARTING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
- Insert installation diskette into drive A (or another drive if neces-
- sary). At the Windows Program Manager, click the File menu and
- select Run. In the dialog box type in the following command:
-
- A:\INSTALL
-
- Note: If you have inserted the installation diskette into a drive
- other than "A", use that drive letter instead.
-
- The installation program's opening screen will ask you if you wish to
- install Crawler! or exit without installing the game. If you wish to
- exit, press "E" and hit <Return>. If you wish to begin the installa-
- tion of Crawler! press "I" and hit <Return>.
-
-
-
- III. DRIVE/PATH INFORMATION
- The installation program will now prompt for drive and path informa-
- tion. The first is System File Drive Information. At the bottom of
- the screen, you will see the following prompt:
-
- Files will be Installed on Drive Letter-->C
-
- If "C" is the letter of the drive on which you wish to install Crawler!,
- simply hit return. If you wish to install Crawler! on a drive other
- than "C" enter that letter at the prompt and hit <Return>.
-
- Crawler! Installation Manual Page 2
-
-
- If you enter an invalid drive letter, the installation program will
- display one of the following error messages:
-
- Checking target disk drive (D) <-- DRIVE NOT AVAILABLE!
- Checking target disk drive () <-- INVALID DRIVE LETTER!
-
- If you see either of these messages, you must re-enter a valid drive
- letter at the System File Drive Information prompt.
-
- At the bottom of the screen you should now see the following prompt
- asking for System File Directory Information:
-
- Files will be Installed in Directory-->\CRAWLER
-
- \CRAWLER is the default directory in which Crawler! will be installed.
- If you want to install to this directory, simply hit <Return>. If you
- wish to change this directory, type the name of the directory into
- which you would like crawler! to be installed. Please note that this
- directory will reside on the drive that you previously selected.
-
- If the directory entered at the System File Directory prompt already
- exists on your hard drive, you will see the following messages and
- prompts:
-
- <<< SYSTEM FILE DIRECTORY ALREADY EXISTS >>>
-
- C:\CRAWLER (or the directory you specified)
-
- o if you respond Yes to the following prompts all new System
- Files will be written to the hard disk.
-
- o if you respond No to the following prompts no System Files
- will be copied and this step will be skipped.
-
- o if you press Esc, this installation process will be stopped.
-
- Do you want to overwrite existing System files (Y/N)?
-
- This means that your hard drive already contains a directory by that
- name. You have one of two choices: have the files installed to the
- specified directory, or exit the installation process and specify a
- new directory.
-
- If you respond with a "Y", the installation program will go ahead and
- install Crawler! into the specified directory. If you respond with a
- "N" or press the <Esc> key, you will abort the installation process.
- What you can do in this case is restart the installation process and
- specify a new directory at the System File Directory prompt. Crawler!
- will then be installed to this new directory.
-
- When in doubt, select "N", restart the installation program, and
- specify a different directory at the System File Directory prompt.
