- FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION
-
- CA-Clipper 5.3 may be installed from within Windows or
- DOS. To install from within Windows, use the INSTALL.EXE
- on disk 1. To install from DOS, use the INSTALL.EXE on
- disk 5.
-
-
- CD-ROM INSTALLATION
-
- CA-Clipper 5.3 may be installed from within Windows or
- DOS. To install from within Windows, use the INSTALL.EXE
- in the WINDOWS directory of your CD-ROM drive. To install
- from DOS, use the INSTALL.EXE in the DOS directory of your
- CD-ROM drive.
-
-
- VERY IMPORTANT -- If you install a new repository over
- your existing one, all data in the forms, menus, and data
- servers will be lost. These items are stored in the
- "Binary Objects" module and installing a new repository
- will overwrite this information. In addition, the
- dependencies between different .PRG and header files will
- also be lost. Your source code itself, however, will not
- be effected.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM WINDOWS
-
- If you are using the Windows installer and your copy of
- Windows is NOT installed on the same disk drive as your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file (i.e., Windows is on the D: drive and
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is on the C: drive), at the end of
- the installation, the installer will bring up an error
- message. The message states, "Cannot find autoexec.bat.
- Would you like to create it?" Simply answer NO to this
- question and from the Open file dialog box that appears,
- locate your copy of AUTOEXEC.BAT and press OK. The
- installation will continue correctly from this point.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A NETWORK DRIVE
-
- If you have problems when attempting to run the
- installation program from a network drive, copy the
- contents of disk 1 to a floppy disk using XCOPY with
- the /S option and install from the floppy drive. Then,
- when prompted for the location of the other disks,
- enter the appropriate network drive and directory.
-
- It is important that the installation procedure run
- from beginning to end with no problems. Therefore, if
- your system locks up or suddenly exits from Windows to
- the DOS prompt during installation, follow the advice
- given above. Otherwise, you cannot be sure that
- CA-Clipper was installed successfully.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DOS
-
- If you have chosen the DOS install to install CA-Clipper
- 5.3, you must be aware that none of the files necessary
- to run the CA-Clipper Workbench will be installed. If
- you would like to run CA-Clipper under Windows using the
- Workbench, you must run the Windows installation from
- disk 1.
-
-
- REBOOT AFTER INSTALLATION!
-
- After CA-Clipper 5.3 has been installed, be sure to
- reboot your computer for all of the system's changes
- to take effect.
