WARNING: Do NOT attempt to “drag-install” the AppleOrder application from the “Program 1” disk to your hard drive. Doing so will cause AppleOrder to function incorrectly or bomb. The application is now larger than 800K and as a result has been split up onto the “Program 1” and “Program 2” disks. The ONLY way it can be properly installed is by using the Installer.
• NOTE: This version of the Installer does not require you to reboot your machine off of the Installer disk before installing AppleOrder, in fact, you CAN'T. You now perform what is called a "live" install, meaning the Installer can install things directly into the active System file on your hard drive. If you are using a virus detection program such as SAM™ (Symantec Antivirus for Macintosh), you may get warning messages about the Installer attempting to add resources to the System file. If you get these messages, allow the Installer to continue. You may want to consider turning SAM™ or other virus detection programs off temporarily before installing AppleOrder in order to avoid getting these messages. Once the install has completed, the Installer will force your system to reboot since INITs installed by AppleOrder need to be activated upon restart. If you are installing to a drive other than the current startup volume, the points discussed above do not apply, and you will need to select the new drive in the Control Panels “Startup Disk” and manually reboot to use AppleOrder.
• To install AppleOrder, double click on either the "Finished Goods Installer" or "Service Installer" icon. Click "OK" after the Installer displays it's welcome screen. The Installer will then go to the Easy Install screen. Click "Install" to let the Installer figure out everything that needs to be installed, including the AppleOrder application software, Help and Tour files, and Finished Goods (or Service) customer database files. The Installer creates and places all of the AppleOrder files in a folder called "AppleOrder" on your hard disk. If you only want to install part of the AppleOrder package, such as the application itself or a new empty database, go to the “Customize” menu.
• If you are installing BOTH Finished Goods AND Service Customers on the same machine, you may initially select either the “Finished Goods Installer” or “Service Installer” icons. Install one of the two types from the Easy Install screen. You will then be forced to reboot your machine. Reinsert the Installer disk again and click on one of the installer icons and go straight to the "Customize" menu to install the other type. If you are installing both types, it does not matter which installer script you initially select. For example, to install both Finished Goods and Service on the same machine, you could double click on the Finished Goods Installer icon, click install (which will install everything BUT the Service customer files), restart your machine, click on the Finished Goods installer icon again and then go straight to the "Customize" menu and install only the Service Customer Files (you don't need to reinstall the AppleOrder Application Software again).
• To reinstall AppleOrder software using the Customize menu, DO NOT Install the software for System 6.0.x onto a machine running System 7 or greater!!! Doing so will replace the Communications ToolBox that is built into System 7 with an older version that can cause problems. Instead, select the proper choice depending on the System version of the drive you are installing to. If you are not sure what this is, please find out BEFORE installing AppleOrder with the Customize menu.
• If you are installing AppleOrder for Finished Goods, you must download a Finished Goods price list file from AppleLink before you can use AppleOrder. Call the Apple USA HelpLine at (408) 974-3309 for more information on where these price list files are. They also have the most recent collection of CCL (communications script) files available in case you cannot connect with the ones supplied.
