J-PERK INSTALL NOTES Copyright 1996-1998 McWeb Software _______________________________________________________________________ ================ IMPORTANT!!! ================ If you received an error stating: "A required .DLL file, MSVBVM50.DLL, was not found" and J-Perk won't run, you must download this file from: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip Unzip the vb5rtsp3.zip file and run the vb5rtsp3.exe file contained within it. This file will install the files that J-Perk needs in order to execute correctly. When it has completed the installation, then run J-Perk. Our Web site http://www.mcwebsoftware.com/javaperk/jpfaq.html has more information about this. ============ INSTALLATION ============ To install run the setup.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions. If Setup determines that some of the files are already on the system, or if the software is installed a second time, the install progress bar won't always go to 100%. This is "normal". Also, after the setup runs there may be an empty button with no caption on the task bar. Clicking it will make it go away. This is "normal" too. If you encounter error messages during installation which give you the option to "Abort, Ignore, Retry", first retry, then if that doesn't work choose Ignore each time it asks you. When setup completes, it is most likely that J-Perk will work, but the applets did not install. Find the applet pack (applets.zip) included with the J-Perk evaluation zip file and unzip it into your J-Perk directory. This should do the trick. Missing DLLs ------------ If the installation doesn't start and you get a message you're missing MFCxxx.DLL, you do not have some of the standard Windows support DLL files. Under Windows 95, this may have happened because Win95 was installed with Custom or Compact setup options. You can nudge Win95 to install the needed DLLs by installing WordPad. From Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs. Click the Windows Setup tab and double-click Accessories. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and check WordPad. OK your way out to complete the installation. ======================= Disclaimer of Warranty ======================= THIS SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING FILES ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO PERFORMANCE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
