- Installation Instructions
- =======================================================================
-
- * Installation
- Version 1.2 is being distributed as both a 16-bit Windows program and
- a 32-bit windows program. If you are running Win3.x you must use the
- 16-bit version even if you are running Win32s, because the 32-bit
- version makes use of 32-bit API calls not supported by Win32s.
- Both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions includes an installation program.
- To install Netscape run the setup.exe program. The Netscape
- installation program will install Netscape in a directory of your
- choice, add a Netscape section to your WIN.INI file, and create a
- Program Manager group and item.
-
- The 32-bit Netscape Navigator stores preferences in the system registry.
-
- * Please read the release notes under "Help -> Release Notes".

- ========================================================================
- Win32s
- ========================================================================
- If you are running version 1.15 or below of Win32s, you will be unable to
- install the Netscape Navigator unless you upgrade to version 1.20 of Win32s
- or you remove Win32.
-
- You can determine which version of Win32s you have in one of two ways:
- - check the WIN32S.INI file in your Windows system directory
- - if you are running Windows for Workgroups, select the WIN32S16.DLL
- file from the Windows system directory in File Manager. Then from
- the File menu, choose Properties. The Version line contains the
- major version and the build number.
-
- To remove Win32s, do the following:
-
- 1. Remove the following line from the [386Enh] section in the SYSTEM.INI
- file:
- device=<WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\win32s\w32s.386
- where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are where the Windows and System
- directories are, respectively.
- 2. Remove winmm16.dll from the following line from the [BOOT] section in
- the SYSTEM.INI file:
- drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll
- 3. Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM> subdirectory:
- W32SYS.DLL
- WIN32S16.DLL
- WIN32S.INI
- 4. Delete all the files in the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory.
- Then delete the subdirectory itself.
- 5. Restart Windows.
- Here's how you can obtain Win32s version 1.2 which Microsoft refers
- to as application note PW1118:
- To obtain this Application Note (number PW1118) and the files
- included with it, download PW1118.EXE, a self-extracting file,
- from the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) on the following services:
- - CompuServe
- GO MSL
- Search for PW1118.EXE
- Display results and download
- - Microsoft Download Service (MSDL)
- Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL
- Download PW1118.EXE
- - Internet (anonymous FTP)
- ftp ftp.microsoft.com
- Change to the \SOFTLIB\MSLFILES directory
- Get PW1118.EXE
- =======================================================================
- OLE 2.02
- =======================================================================
- The Netscape install program for Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups
- will install the following OLE2 files into the Windows System directory
- if either there is no existing DLL or the existing DLL is older:
- COMPOBJ.DLL 108544 10-10-94
- MFCOLEUI.DLL 146976 1-13-95
- OLE2.DLL 302592 10-10-94
- OLE2.REG 27026 10-10-94
- OLE2CONV.DLL 57328 10-10-94
- OLE2DISP.DLL 164832 10-10-94
- OLE2NLS.DLL 150976 10-10-94
- OLE2PROX.DLL 51712 10-10-94
- STDOLE.TLB 4304 10-10-94
- STORAGE.DLL 157696 10-10-94
- TYPELIB.DLL 177216 10-10-94
- =======================================================================
- International
- =======================================================================
- The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the latest
- versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit Windows. For 16-bit
- Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese versions are
- the internationalization of error strings.
- Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error
- message after installing Netscape.
- Currently, there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs.
- Netscape is working with Microsoft to make the Japanese version of the
- OLE2 DLLs available.
- =======================================================================
- Running Netscape
- =======================================================================
- What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?
- You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape.
- The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you can
- run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator 1.2:
- 1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
- SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
- 2. TCP/IP stack
- 3. Netscape Navigator software
-
- You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
- provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account
- from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).
-
- When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP
- stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.
-
- =======================================================================
- Cannot Find WINSOCK.DLL
- =======================================================================
-
- If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running
- Netscape Navigator that means your computer is looking for the WINSOCK.DLL
- file, which is part of a winsock package (also includes dialer,
- TCP/IP stack).
-
- A winsock package makes it so that your PC can talk TCP/IP, which is
- necessary for Netscape to run. See the "Running Netscape" section for
- details on running the Netscape Navigator, and the "Obtaining a Winsock
- Package" section for suggestions on obtaining a winsock package.
-
- =======================================================================
- Obtaining a Winsock Package
- =======================================================================
-
- You can get the shareware winsock package, which is called Trumpet
- Winsock (v1.0) via ftp from
-
- inorganic5.chem.ufl.edu:/gopher/pub/winsock/
-
- Other winsock packages which we have tested without problems are:
-
- FTP Software's PC/TCP
- NetManage
- Microsoft WFW (Wolverine)
- Microsoft NT
-
- Implementation (general):
- Put the winsock in its own directory, for example, C:\WINSOCK,
- and include the directory in your DOS PATH statement.
-
- Enter Windows, create a group in the Program Manager for all files
- with your winsock program.
-
- Please be sure that the Netscape directory is in your path located
- in your autoexec.bat file. You may need to add:
-
- PATH=C:\(name of the directory where netscape is located)
- After making this change, save the file and reboot your computer.
