- MinuteMan Data Backup
- *********************
-
- INSTALLATION:
- ************
- Before MinuteMan Data Backup will run, you must install the VB5run kit,
- either included with this download, or download at:
- http://www.mslm.com/minman.htm
- The shareware version does have the VB5run included in the download.
- Most Win98 have the VB5run already included with the Win98 installation.
-
- Unzip and place minman.zip into a temporary folder, double click
- Setup.exe, and select the desired drive and path. Then click the
- Install button.
-
- MinuteMan Data Backup does not make any modifications or entries to the
- W95/98/NT Registry, nor to any W95/98/NT System files. It will simply make
- the new MinuteMan Data Backup directories, and copy the necessary files into
- the appropriate directories, while adding a MinuteMan Shortcut to the Start menu.
- Shareware Pkunzip.exe by Pkware is copied to the root directory C when you
- install MinuteMan if one doesn't exist. Licensed Pkunzip.exe distributed to
- registered customers.
-
-
- Setup troubleshooting:
- *********************
- If you have problems installing MinuteMan Data Backup, that
- may happen because you don't have some of the DLLs up to
- date, download and install the VB5run2 with the OCX update.
- You may need to reinstall the VB5run twice.
-
- http://www.mslm.com/minman.htm
-
- If you have a command line in the Autoexec.bat to delete
- W95/98/NT temporary files in the C:\Windows\Temp upon startup then
- when installing the VB5run update, it will not take affect if it prompts
- you to restart computer because the computer DLLs are out dated.
- Remove the line from the Autoexec.bat when you are installing
- programs that requires a reboot.
-
- It is recommended to empty the Windows\Temp folder and Windows\Recent
- if you selected to install from the Zip file.
-
-
- None English:
- ************
- If MinuteMan is installed in a none English W95/98/NT, it
- should make all shortcuts to the Startup Folder and Start Menu, if it didn't
- then there is something wrong with the installation.
-
- REINSTALL:
- *********
- Available only with the registered version.
- When reinstalling, don't delete the previous {older} MinuteMan directory,
- nor the MinuteMan.exe. Merely selecting the "Reinstall" command,
- it will update and replace all files and recreate any missing folders, while
- keeping your previous {old} configuration safely intact.
- Take care to see that the correct path to the previous installation is shown
- in the path window
-
- UNINSTALL:
- *********
- Shareware Version:
- -----------------
- To uninstall the full version, go to the Control Panel\Add Remove
- Programs, scroll down to MinMan and click the Add\Remove button.
-
- Registered Version:
- ------------------
- To remove {uninstall} MinuteMan correctly, simply delete
- the entire MinuteMan directory.
- And if they exist, delete the shortcuts found in
- C:\Windows\Startmenu\Programs, and n
- C:\Windows\Startmenu\Programs\Startup\MinuteChild.lnk
-
- It is recommended to keep the VB5run update because it will work with
- other VB 5.0 applications that call for it. But if for some reason you
- need to remove it, go to the Control Panel\Add Remove Programs
- and select to uninstall the VB5run2 update.
-
- Multi Installation:
- ******************
- In order to be able to backup more than 14 backups available, you can
- install MinuteMan in more than one directory and have more
- instances of MinuteMan, rename Shortcuts in the Start Menu and the
- Startup Folders, but can't use Timed or Startup backups on all of them.
-
- SHAREWARE:
- *********
- MinuteMan most features gets disabled after 30 runs, the Restore
- section stays functional.
