- Installation Notes
- ===================
-
- After upgrading to a new Windows release or upgrade:
- ---------------------------------------------------
- If you are installing Windows release or upgrade on current Windows and
- you have ERS 9x already installed, before going any further,
- click Options\Update ERS for Newer Version Windows.
- That will replace old Windows MS-DOS files in the 1Ers folder with the new
- Windows MS-DOS files.
- Then delete all backups made in in old Windows.
- If you think that you might want to go back to old Windows, then save couple
- backups to restore from, be sure to note it.
- If you went back to older version, then click Options\Update ERS for Newer version
- Windows again to replace new version files with older.
- If accidently made a restore from an older Windows backup, then simply re-restore
- from the newer Windows backup.
-
- Windows\Temp
- ===========
- If you have a command line in the Autoexec.bat to delete Win95/98/ME
- temporary files in the C:\Windows\Temp upon startup then the DLL
- update will not take affect if it prompts you to restart computer.
- Remove the line from the Autoexec.bat when you are installing programs
- that requires a reboot.
-
- ERS keeps its data in its own registry (.dat files) instead of using
- Windows Registry. ERS doesn't make any modifications or entries to the
- Registry or any other system files, it merely makes new ERS directories,
- then copies ERS files to the appropriate directories. It places a Shortcut
- icon in the Start menu for easy access.
