Install Backup Files To...

The Installer searches your local hard drive(s) for a previously installed version. After the search is complete, this dialog box appears and lets you change the default destination drive and directory for the program files. Information on available disk space before and after installation is provided.

Install uses C:\QBWIN (or the directory of any previous installation) as the default drive and directory path.  If you want to install the program to a different drive, select the desired drive from the Drives list box. To change the directory, click on the Install To text box and edit the path.

Information about available space on each drive before and after installation appears in the Target Drive Status information box.  If there is not enough space on the selected drive to install the program, select a different drive from the Drives list box if one is available.

Click OK or press Enter to accept your choices and proceed with installation.  Click Exit Install to quit.


Insert Next Diskette

This dialog box appears when the Installer needs files from the next diskette. If the path is not correct, enter the proper drive and directory in the Path Name text box. Insert the required diskette and click OK or press Enter to proceed with installation. Click Cancel or press ESC to terminate installation.


Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT

To operate on your system, the path to the directory where the program files are installed should be added to the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  The Installer program provides three options to accomplish this:

Let Installer modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

Install inserts the directory path into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as required. The command appears in the center of the dialog box.

Note:	If you are installing over a previous version of the program, you may already have the path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

If you want to view or edit the change, click Edit.

Save the required changes to new file:

This option lets you save the modified file without changing your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The changes are saved to a default file named AUTOEXEC.NEW. If you want to accept the changes at a later time, rename AUTOEXEC.NEW to AUTOEXEC.BAT and restart your computer (CTRL+ALT+DEL) in order for the changes to take effect.

Do not make any changes:

If you select this option, your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is not changed.

Click OK or press Enter to accept your choices and proceed with installation.  Click Exit Install to quit.


Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT File

When you click the Edit button, an edit window appears displaying your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file, including the directory path the Install program would add.  Click the mouse over the edit window.  A cursor appears in the text.  You can move the cursor with the arrow keys and type any modification using the keyboard.  Use the editing buttons described below to modify the text.

Cut

Highlight a region of text and click Cut to remove the text and send it to the clipboard.

Copy

Highlight a region of text and click Copy to duplicate the text and send it to the clipboard.

Paste

Position the cursor in the text where you want to put cut or copied text and click this button.

Delete

Highlight a region of text and click Delete to remove it permanently.

Undo

Click this button to cancel the effect of a previous edit.

To abandon editing (and any changes you have made) click Cancel Edit.  If you want to write the changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, click Finish. You must restart your computer at the end of installation for this change to take effect.
