- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Welcome to the installation and deinstallation utility for Galleria and
- Galleria/CM.
-
- This utility is used to install (or deinstall) these products on your OS/2
- system. You will be prompted for installation options (such as destination
- directory) prior to any changes being made to your system. All changes will be
- logged so you can see what this utility has done or correct errors if the
- installation fails.
-
- The deinstall option will reverse all changes to your system should you wish to
- remove the software from your system.
-
- Press Install to prompt for installation options.
-
- Press Deinstall to prompt for deinstallation options.
-
- Press Exit to terminate.
-
- NOTE: The Galleria and Galleria/CM executables are packaged using Info-ZIP's
- compression utility. The installation program uses UnZip to process compressed
- files from the install directory or diskette. Info-ZIP's software (Zip, UnZip
- and related utilities) is free and can be obtained as source code or
- executables from various anonymous-ftp sites on Internet, including
- ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*.

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Install types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The installation process can be classified as one of the following three types:
-
- Individual
-
- This applies when you have an Individual license and wish to install
- the software on a standalone machine. For this type of install you
- must elect to have the install utility copy files to the specified
- directories. On completion, you should have a new folder on your
- desktop with icons for Galleria etc. You can then start the software
- by double-clicking on the required icon. The first time you start
- Galleria or Galleria/CM you will be prompted for your license
- details. These will be preserved across subsequent sessions or
- installs.
-
- Server
-
- If you have a Corporate license you can install the software on a
- LAN server for use by multiple clients (subject to the maximum
- number of users permitted by your license). The install process is
- similar to that for an Individual install above. The difference is
- that when you start the software and enter license details, a file
- named GALLERIA.LAN will be written to disk in the same directory as
- the executables. (You must have write permission to this directory
- to enable this file to be created.) When you start the software from
- a client on the LAN, it will look for this file and license details
- will be propagated automatically. Note that the GALLERIA.LAN file
- will be invalidated if moved to another disk or server and will need
- to be recreated.
-
- Client
-
- After a copy of the software licensed for Corporate use has been
- installed on the server (and the GALLERIA.LAN file created) you can
- then proceed to install the software on clients attached to the LAN.
- For a client install you should deselect the option to Copy files to
- directories, instead entering directories of those on the server
- where the software resides. The install will then create icons
- pointing to the server copy of the software. You will not be
- prompted for license details (unless the server copy has been
- incorrectly installed or the GALLERIA.LAN file has been
- invalidated).
-
- For installation of a copy of software licensed for Corporate use on a
- standalone machine, proceed as per the Server install above. The GALLERIA.LAN
- file should be retained.
-
- For an unlimited use Corporate license, a customized copy of the Galleria
- executables are supplied. You will not be prompted for license details as
- these are stored permanently in the executables. You are free to install the
- software on workstations or servers as required.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Install options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Install options dialog is displayed to enable you to change options for the
- install.
-
- The Source directory must be set to the location of the packed files and
- utilities. Normally this will be the same as that containing the install
- utility.
-
- The destination Directories are the directories to be used to contain the
- unpacked executables and libraries. You may choose a different directory for
- the libraries (DLLs) if you wish. These directories will be created if they do
- not already exist.
-
- If the software has already been installed on a file server you can elect not
- to have the executables and libraries installed on your machine. The
- Destination directories will therefore be the file server directories.
-
- The install utility can modify the LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS on your boot
- drive to point to the destination directory containing the libraries (above).
- If an entry for this directory already exists in the LIBPATH statement, no
- changes will be made.
-
- You can also have the install utility create a folder and icons for the
- software on the OS/2 desktop. This will permit you to start the applications or
- view documentation simply by double-clicking on the respective icons.
- Subsequently, you may wish to copy or move the icons to the desktop or a folder
- of your choice.
-
- It is recommended that you leave all options at their default values for the
- first time you install the software or if you experience any problems with the
- install.
-
- Press Proceed to start the install process with the above options.
-
- Press Defaults to reset all options to their default values.
-
- Press Cancel to return to the previous level.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Install activity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Install activity window allows you to monitor the install process. A log of
- every action taken is displayed together with an eventual return code. This
- will be zero for a successful install.
-
- When the installation is complete (or if it fails for any reason) you should
- review the log contents and return code.
-
- Press Save log to write the log to the source disk/directory as INSTALL.LOG.
-
- Press OK to exit.

-
-
- IMPORTANT

- IMPORTANT
-
- (Note that the information below is also to be found in the included README.DOC
- file should you need to refer to this after installation.)
-
- Galleria, as a graphics-intensive application, demands a high level of support
- from display drivers. It is recommended that you ensure that you have the
- latest version of display driver installed for your display adapter type prior
- to installation.
-
- Below are fixes or bypasses for common problems that may be experienced:
-
- Failure with SYS317x/SYS318x etc. when loading first image with VGA and
- SVGA drivers. Replacement IBMVGA32.DLL and IBMDEV32.DLL modules are
- included in the floppy-based version of this software in PJ10311.ZIP.
- These modules are also available for download from the OS2AVEN forum on
- CompuServe (as GALPTF.ZIP). Alternatively, contact IBM Support requesting
- the fix for APAR PJ10311.
-
- This problem has been fixed in OS/2 3.0.
-
- Scrolling errors with 8514/A, S3 and ATI drivers. Bad data may be
- displayed in the scrolled area or even outside of Zoom window. This may
- also result in lockups on S3 systems. Contact IBM Support requesting the
- fix for APAR PJ12059.
-
- For ATI cards, contact ATI Technologies for a fix.
-
- Miscellaneous errors (including exceptions, incorrect colors or scrolling
- problems) with other drivers. This is normally an indication that the
- display driver currently installed does not fully support the default
- direct paint mode used by Galleria. These problems may disappear if you
- change the driver settings to use a different color depth. If not, you
- should be able to bypass the problem by setting the Paint directly cutoff
- value to the maximum in the Galleria Preferences dialog. For a permanent
- fix, contact the vendor of your display adapter for an updated driver.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Deinstall options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Deinstall options dialog is displayed to enable you to change options for
- the deinstall.
-
- The destination Directories are the directories used for a prior install to
- contain the unpacked executables and libraries. All installed files will be
- deleted from these directories (unless you disable this). These directories
- will be removed if they are empty after the files are deleted.
-
- If you did not copy files during installation (i.e. you used a file server copy
- of the software instead) you should disable the Delete files option.
-
- The deinstall utility can restore the LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS on your
- boot drive to remove the entry for the directory containing the libraries
- (above). If an entry for this directory does not exist in the LIBPATH
- statement, no changes will be made.
-
- The deinstall process can also remove the folder (and all contents) from the
- OS/2 desktop created during the install.
-
- Press Proceed to start the deinstall process with the above options.
-
- Press Cancel to return to the previous level.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Deinstall activity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Deinstall activity window allows you to monitor the deinstall process. A
- log of every action taken is displayed together with an eventual return code.
- This will be zero for a successful deinstall.
-
- When the deinstallation is complete (or if it fails for any reason) you should
- review the log contents and return code.
-
- Press Save log to write the log to the source disk/directory as INSTALL.LOG.
-
- Press OK to exit.
