- Designer is upgrading through the use of an executable patch. This
- method of upgrade allows the user to apply only the changes to an
- existing DS40.EXE file and other files that have changed during this
- upgrade cycle.
-
- To use this patch method you will need to have the .RTP and .RTD files
- in the same directory as PATCH.EXE. For the Designer directory patch
- the files needed are DS40A.RTP and DS40A.RTD along with PATCH.EXE.
- For the MGXLIBS directory patch the files needed are DS40LIBA.RTP
- and DS40LIBA.RTD along with PATCH.EXE. Copy these files to a location
- on your hard drive and follow the instructions below for command line
- parameters to apply the patch. You will also need to know the fully
- qualified path to your Designer 4.0 directory [for example: C:\DESIGNER]
- and your MGXLIBS directory [for example: C:\MGXLIBS] for later use.
-
- From a DOS prompt [C:\>] change to the directory that you have copied
- the .RTP and .RTD files. Using the command line example below change
- the paths given with the paths to your directories.
-
- PATCH DS40A C:\DESIGNER
-
- This process may take several minutes to complete so please be patient.
- Once the Designer patch has completed you will need to apply the
- libraries patch. Using the command line below, replace the path example
- with the path to your MGXLIBS directory.
-
- PATCH DS40LIBA C:\MGXLIBS
-
- This process will take several minutes and also print several update
- messages on screen.
-
- Once this process is complete you are ready to run Designer 4.0a.
