- This document describes some steps that you need to take after
- you install OPENSTEP Enterprise for Windows 4.1. It also describes:
-
- • Changes made to environment variables during installation
- • How to start and stop OPENSTEP processes manually
- • How to uninstall OPENSTEP manually
- • Some issues related to Enterprise Objects Framework
-
-
- After Installation
- ==================
-
- If you have installed Enterprise Objects Framework, you should also install
- the appropriate client libraries for the databases that you intend to connect
- with.
-
- With the exception of the Enterprise Objects Framework Reference, which is in
- Windows Help, all Enterprise Objects documentation is provided in PDF only. If
- you need a PDF reader, you can download one from the following World Wide Web
- site:

-
-
- Changes to Environment Variables
- ================================
-
- When Configure Environment Variables is selected in the Choose Options dialog
- box, the setup program makes the following changes to your System Environment
- Variables. You can view these variables in the System Control Panel:
-
- • $NEXT_ROOT shows the drive and directory where the root OPENSTEP directory
- is located. (Make sure there is a trailing slash.)
-
- • For developer installations, "Lib" includes the resolved paths for
- NextDeveloper/Libraries and LocalDeveloper/Libraries (both relative to
- $NEXT_ROOT).
-
- • "Path" includes the resolved paths for NextLibrary/Executables and, for
- developer installations, LocalDeveloper/Executables,
- NextDeveloper/Executables, and NextDeveloper/Executables/Utilities (all
- paths are relative to $NEXT_ROOT).
-
- Note: The paths that identify the various OPENSTEP directories in "Lib" and
- "Path" must come before the corresponding Microsoft directory definitions.
-
-
-
- Starting OPENSTEP Processes Manually
- ====================================
-
- During installation you can request that the various processes needed by
- OPENSTEP be started automatically when you log in. The installer does this
- by creating entries for each of those processes in your Startup (Common)
- program group. If you elected to start these processes manually, you must
- locate and start them.
-
- The two processes that you must start first are services called MachD and
- nmserver. To start these services, open a Bourne shell (by selecting the
- icon in the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group). Then type the following:
-
- cd $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System
- machd -install
- nmserver -install
-
- To start the remaining two OPENSTEP runtime processes, locate them in
- the file system (using File Manager or Explorer) and then start them by
- double-clicking. Start them in the following order:
-
- • $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System/WindowServer.exe
- • $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/pbs.exe
-
-
-
- Stopping OPENSTEP Processes Manually
- ====================================
-
- To stop OPENSTEP processes--a step required when uninstalling OPENSTEP,
- described below--first locate the Startup (Common) group containing the
- processes (using the Program Manager for Windows 3.51 or the Start menu
- for Windows 4.0). Then select or double-click these two processes in the
- following order:
-
- • Pasteboard Server (pbs.exe)
- • Window Server (WindowServer.exe)
-
- To stop the OPENSTEP services, open a Bourne shell (by selecting the icon
- in the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group). Then type the following:
-
- cd $NEXT_ROOT/NextLibrary/System
- machd -remove
- nmserver -remove
-
- For each process, a message will inform you that the process is already
- running and will inquire whether you wish to terminate it. Respond Yes
- to each message. If you have Microsoft Visual C++, you can also use the
- Pview program's Kill Process function to terminate processes. Terminate
- them in the same order as listed above.
-
-
-
- Uninstalling OPENSTEP for Windows Manually
- ===========================================
-
- Because OPENSTEP installs all of its files underneath a single
- directory identified by the $NEXT_ROOT environment variable, uninstallation
- is a fairly straightforward process. Essentially, you delete the OPENSTEP
- files, remove any icons that appear in the Program Manager, and clean up
- your Environment Variables.
-
-
- Delete OPENSTEP Files
- ---------------------
-
- 1. Because the installer may not be able to overwrite running processes,
- first quit any OPENSTEP or D'OLE applications you're running. Then stop
- OPENSTEP processes as described in the section "Stopping OPENSTEP
- Processes Manually," above.
-
- 2. Locate the OPENSTEP root directory. This directory is identified by the
- $NEXT_ROOT environment variable. If you are unsure what the root directory
- is, open the System control panel and look in the System Environment
- Variables section.
-
- 3. Using the Windows NT File Manager or Explorer programs, select the
- OPENSTEP root directory.
-
- 4. Press Delete, or choose Delete from the File menu. A series of message
- boxes appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the selected
- directory and all its contents. Click Yes (or Yes to All) to all messages.
-
- The File Manager deletes each of the files and directories underneath the
- selected directory, and then it deletes the directory itself.
-
-
- Delete OPENSTEP Icons from Program Groups (Windows NT 3.51)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Select--but do not open--the OPENSTEP Enterprise program group
- icon in the Program Manager.
-
- 2. Press Delete, or choose Delete from the File menu. In the Delete
- confirmation dialog that appears, click Yes.
-
- 3. Double-click the Startup (Common) group icon in the Program Manager.
-
- 4. If the Startup (Common) group contains icons labeled "MachD",
- "Mach nmserver," "WindowServer," or "Pasteboard Server," select each
- icon in turn and press Delete. In the Delete confirmation dialog that
- appears, click Yes.
-
-
- Delete OPENSTEP Icons from Program Groups (Windows NT 4.0)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Choose the Taskbar option from Settings on the Start menu.
-
- 2. Select the Start Menu Programs display of the Taskbar Properties window.
-
- 3. Click the Remove button on the Customize Start Menu section.
-
- 4. In the Remove Shortcuts/Folders window, select OPENSTEP Enterprise,
- click Remove, and then click Yes to the confirmation message.
-
- 5. In the same window, open the Startup program group by clicking the "+"
- symbol. Then select the icons labeled "MachD", Mach nmserver,"
- "WindowServer," or "Pasteboard Server." For each icon, press Delete
- and click Yes to the subsequent Delete confirmation dialog.
-
-
- Clean up Environment Variables
- ------------------------------
-
- 1. Locate and open the Control Panel window.
-
- 2. Within the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
-
- 3. The System dialog box appears. This dialog box is where you can alter
- the environment variable settings that Windows NT uses.
-
- 4. Select $NEXT_ROOT in the System Environment Variables section. Click
- Delete.
-
- 5. If developer software was installed, select the "Lib" system-environment
- variable definition. Highlight that portion of the definition
- corresponding to the OPENSTEP "Lib" directories listed in "Changes to
- Environment Variables," above, and press the Delete key (do not click
- Delete). Click Set to register the change.
-
- 6. Select the "Path" system-environment variable definition. Highlight those
- portions of the definition that identifies directories corresponding to
- the OPENSTEP "Path" directories listed in "Changes to Environment
- Variables," above, and press the Delete key (do not click Delete).
- Click Set to register the change.
-
- 7. Click OK in the System dialog.
-
- This completes the manual uninstallation process.
