-
- Microsoft Win32s version 1.2 is the latest version of the software
- that allows you to run Win32-based applications on Windows(TM)
- version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1 and later.
-
- The "Microsoft Win32s Upgrade" Application Note disk contains the file
- W32S120.EXE; the file LICENSE.TXT, which has legal information
- regarding redistribution of Win32s files [please consult the Win32s
- "Programmer's Reference," which is part of the Microsoft Win32
- Software Development Kit (SDK), for further information]; and a
- README.TXT file, which is the text of this Application Note.
-
- The "Microsoft Win32s Upgrade" does not include OLE support. For OLE
- support for Win32-based applications under Win32s, you need the Microsoft
- Win32(R) SDK.
-
- The Win32s upgrade is intended as an end-user upgrade and is not
- intended for further redistribution.
-
- The following are instructions for installing Win32s.
-
- Decompressing the Setup Program Files
- -------------------------------------
-
- The Win32s files are provided in a compressed state in the W32S120.EXE
- file. This executable file decompresses the setup files for Win32s:
-
- 1. Create a directory on your hard drive for the decompressed files.
- For example, you could create the directory "INSTALL" by entering
- the following at the command prompt:
-
- mkdir install
-
- 2. Copy W32S120.EXE to the new INSTALL directory, change directories to
- the INSTALL directory, and type the following at the command prompt:
-
- w32s120
-
- This decompresses the Win32s files into an installation layout (setup
- program) in the INSTALL directory.
-
- Installing Win32s on Your System
- --------------------------------
-
- 1. To install Win32s, run Windows and start the File Manager.
-
- 2. Open the INSTALL directory (the directory created in step 1 of the
- setup instructions above).
-
- 3. Double-click SETUP.EXE. The setup program installs Win32s and
- reboots the system to update system files.
-
- Win32s is now installed or upgraded on your system, and any
- obsolete Win32s files have been removed.
-
- 4. Delete the INSTALL directory and its contents.
