PC-Install for Windows READ.ME file 11/1/93 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) The WINITEM command needs all arguments in quotation marks except the icon_index which is a number. The manual (page 64) is incorrect. Also, if you do not put put your executable files in PATH, you need to specify the path in the WINITEM command in order to execute an icon. For example: WINITEM: "Zip Finder", "$DEFAULTDIR$\zipcode.exe", "ZIPman" 2) The value of the "attribute" option in the FILE command needs to be in quotation marks. The manual (page 38 and 39) is incorrect. For example: FILE: network.dat, attribute="hr" 3) Due to popular demand, we have added the following two variables to allow installation of files to the WINDOWS directory and to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. These variables also allow for these two directories to be specified in a path used in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. The two variables are: $WINDIR$ for the WINDOWS directory $WINSYSDIR$ for the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory Examples of usage are: FILE: $WINDIR$\chimes.wav FILE: $WINSYSDIR$\cgtimes.fon CONFIG: add="device=$WINSYSDIR$\mouse.drv" AUTOEXEC: add="$WINDIR$\mouse.com" *** END ***
