- WizManager Installation on a Network Server
-
- ***************************************************************
-
- WizManager can be installed on a network server so that all
- connected users can load and run WizManager on their stations.
- Each computer running WizManager must have a WizManager
- License. Contact Mijenix for volume discount and site license
- information or consult the file SITE_LIC.WRI which can be found
- on the WizManager installation disk.
-
- To run WizManager from a network server, make sure that the
- following is done:
-
- 1. WizManager is declared as a File Manager extension in the
- user's WINFILE.INI.
-
- 2. WizManagerÆs .INI file (WIZMGR.INI) is in the userÆs Windows
- directory.
-
- 3. WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT are in the userÆs Windows
- directory, System directory or PATH. WIZLNCH.DAT is in the
- user's Windows directory.
-
- 4. The user has access to all the WizManager files.
-
- For more information on how and what to setup, please read the
- following paragraphs.
-
- ***************************************************************
- WINFILE.INI Setup, and WIZMGR.INI
- ***************************************************************
-
- To run properly, WizManager needs two setup (.INI) files:
- WINFILE.INI which is File ManagerÆs setup file located in the
- Windows directory, and WIZMGR.INI which is WizManagerÆs own
- setup file, also located in the Windows directory.
-
- During the installation process (on the server or local hard
- drive), WizManagerÆs INSTALL program automatically declares
- WizManager as a new add-on to File Manager in WINFILE.INI under
- the [addons] section, on the station running the INSTALL
- program. However, this modification and declaration in
- WINFILE.INI has to be done on each station which will run
- WizManager. For this purpose, a file called WIZ.INI is also
- created in WizManager's directory during the installation
- process. WIZ.INI contains the information and addition needed
- in the WINFILE.INI file to have File Manager load and run
- WizManager. Use WIZ.INI with the utility program called
- MERGEINI to easily declare WizManager in all the usersÆ
- WINFILE.INI files (see the MERGEINI information paragraph
- below). The WizManager declaration in WINFILE.INI is something
- like this entry:
-
- [AddOns]
- WizManager=F:\WIZMGR\WIZMGR.DLL
-
- In addition to the new entry in WINFILE.INI, it is necessary to
- have a file named WIZMGR.INI in the userÆs Windows directory
- with a [WizManager] section in it and an entry which declares
- the path to the WizManager directory. WizManager needs the
- specified path to launch its memory unit WIZUNIT.EXE at startup:
-
- [WizManager]
- WizManagerPath=F:\WIZMGR\
-
- The easiest way is to copy the WIZMGR.INI file newly created by
- INSTALL to all the users Windows directory.
-
- And finally, to run WizManager scripts and associate the ZIP
- extension with WizManager, the following entries have to be
- added to the users' WIN.INI file under the [Extensions] section:
-
- WIZ=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ
- ZIP=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.ZIP
-
- where [...] represents the path to the WizManager directory (an
- entry example could be WIZ=F:\WIZMGR\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ). You
- can also use MERGEINI to automatically perform these
- modifications/additions to WIN.INI (see the MERGEINI
- information paragraph below).
-
- ***************************************************************
- WIZBAR.DLL, WIZCMD.BAT and WIZLANCH.DAT
- ***************************************************************
-
- It is important that the files WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT be in
- the users' file search path. The file WIZLNCH.DAT must be in
- the user's Windows directory.
-
- By default, all three files are installed in the Windows
- directory, but WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT can be installed in
- any directory declared in the user's file search path.
-
- If WIZBAR.DLL is not found during File Manager's startup
- process, WizManager will not be loaded and therefore will not
- be available to the user.
-
- ***************************************************************
- MERGEINI.EXE Utility Program
- ***************************************************************
-
- A useful utility program named MERGEINI.EXE is provided with
- the registered version of WizManager. MERGEINI is a DOS program
- which can be used to 'smartly' merge the information contained
- in WIZ.INI with WINFILE.INI in every workstation.
-
- The MERGEINI command syntax is as follows:
-
- MERGEINI <SourceFile> <DestinationFile>
-
- Example: MERGEINI F:\WIZMGR\WIZ.INI G:\WINDOWS\WINFILE.INI
-
- If any section declared in the <SourceFile> does not exist in
- the <DestinationFile>, it is automatically created and the
- related entries are copied from the <SourceFile> to the
- <DestinationFile>. If a section already exits in the
- <DestinationFile>, MERGEINI adds or updates the related entries.
-
- MERGEINI can be declared in a login script or batch file so
- that each user who should have access to WizManager (stored on
- a file server) would have its WINFILE.INI modified, so that
- WizManager could be found and loaded when File Manager is
- launched.
