WizManager Installation on a Network Server
***************************************************************
WizManager can be installed on a network server so that all
connected users can load and run WizManager on their stations.
Each computer running WizManager must have a WizManager
License. Contact Mijenix for volume discount and site license
information or consult the file SITE_LIC.WRI which can be found
on the WizManager installation disk.
To run WizManager from a network server, make sure that the
following is done:
1. WizManager is declared as a File Manager extension in the
user's WINFILE.INI.
2. WizManagerÆs .INI file (WIZMGR.INI) is in the userÆs Windows
directory.
3. WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT are in the userÆs Windows
directory, System directory or PATH. WIZLNCH.DAT is in the
user's Windows directory.
4. The user has access to all the WizManager files.
For more information on how and what to setup, please read the
following paragraphs.
***************************************************************
WINFILE.INI Setup, and WIZMGR.INI
***************************************************************
To run properly, WizManager needs two setup (.INI) files:
WINFILE.INI which is File ManagerÆs setup file located in the
Windows directory, and WIZMGR.INI which is WizManagerÆs own
setup file, also located in the Windows directory.
During the installation process (on the server or local hard
drive), WizManagerÆs INSTALL program automatically declares
WizManager as a new add-on to File Manager in WINFILE.INI under
the [addons] section, on the station running the INSTALL
program. However, this modification and declaration in
WINFILE.INI has to be done on each station which will run
WizManager. For this purpose, a file called WIZ.INI is also
created in WizManager's directory during the installation
process. WIZ.INI contains the information and addition needed
in the WINFILE.INI file to have File Manager load and run
WizManager. Use WIZ.INI with the utility program called
MERGEINI to easily declare WizManager in all the usersÆ
WINFILE.INI files (see the MERGEINI information paragraph
below). The WizManager declaration in WINFILE.INI is something
like this entry:
[AddOns]
WizManager=F:\WIZMGR\WIZMGR.DLL
In addition to the new entry in WINFILE.INI, it is necessary to
have a file named WIZMGR.INI in the userÆs Windows directory
with a [WizManager] section in it and an entry which declares
the path to the WizManager directory. WizManager needs the
specified path to launch its memory unit WIZUNIT.EXE at startup:
[WizManager]
WizManagerPath=F:\WIZMGR\
The easiest way is to copy the WIZMGR.INI file newly created by
INSTALL to all the users Windows directory.
And finally, to run WizManager scripts and associate the ZIP
extension with WizManager, the following entries have to be
added to the users' WIN.INI file under the [Extensions] section:
WIZ=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ
ZIP=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.ZIP
where [...] represents the path to the WizManager directory (an
entry example could be WIZ=F:\WIZMGR\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ). You
can also use MERGEINI to automatically perform these
modifications/additions to WIN.INI (see the MERGEINI
information paragraph below).
***************************************************************
WIZBAR.DLL, WIZCMD.BAT and WIZLANCH.DAT
***************************************************************
It is important that the files WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT be in
the users' file search path. The file WIZLNCH.DAT must be in
the user's Windows directory.
By default, all three files are installed in the Windows
directory, but WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT can be installed in
any directory declared in the user's file search path.
If WIZBAR.DLL is not found during File Manager's startup
process, WizManager will not be loaded and therefore will not
be available to the user.
***************************************************************
MERGEINI.EXE Utility Program
***************************************************************
A useful utility program named MERGEINI.EXE is provided with
the registered version of WizManager. MERGEINI is a DOS program
which can be used to 'smartly' merge the information contained
in WIZ.INI with WINFILE.INI in every workstation.
The MERGEINI command syntax is as follows:
MERGEINI <SourceFile> <DestinationFile>
Example: MERGEINI F:\WIZMGR\WIZ.INI G:\WINDOWS\WINFILE.INI
If any section declared in the <SourceFile> does not exist in
the <DestinationFile>, it is automatically created and the
related entries are copied from the <SourceFile> to the
<DestinationFile>. If a section already exits in the
<DestinationFile>, MERGEINI adds or updates the related entries.
MERGEINI can be declared in a login script or batch file so
that each user who should have access to WizManager (stored on
a file server) would have its WINFILE.INI modified, so that
WizManager could be found and loaded when File Manager is
launched.
