Content can be added only to these 9 component folders underneath the xmetal\Customizable folder:
Except for the Dlls and Top folders, each of the above folders corresponds to a folder of the same name in the HoTMetaL PRO installation. Some installation folders get their entire contents from the corresponding customizable folder, while others get some of their content from the standard installation, and some from the customizable folders. The HoTMetaL PRO installer will first install the standard files, and then will copy files from the customizable folders into the installed locations. This means that a file in a customizable folder will overwrite a standard installation file of the same name.
The folders whose entire contents comes from the corresponding customizable folder are:
The customizable folders contain some default content `out of the box', so the HoTMetaL PRO you have received is in effect already a customized version.. You can replace this content or add to it as long as you keep the names of the 11 folders exactly as indicated above.
Note: Since Windows 95 does not allow an empty file to be copied and Windows NT does not allow creation of empty files, copying empty files from a Customizable folder on these platforms will not work.
Custom
install feature of the HoTMetaL PRO
installer enables users to de-select certain components, so in
some cases you may wish to provide specific installation instructions (for example, to always do a
Typical
install, which does not allow users to de-select components). Certain
components, such as help files are required, and
cannot be de-selected even during a Custom Install
.
If HoTMetaL PRO is
de-installed using Add/Remove Programs
from the Windows Control
Panel
, all customizable files will be uninstalled.
If you remove all of the content of any of these 9 component folders, then you must remove the folder itself as well. (The HoTMetaL PRO installer expects that if the component folder exists, then it will have content.) Remember to update sizes in the csetup.ini file.
