File Version Conflict

Use this dialog box to specify whether to keep a currently installed version of a file on your system or replace it with a different version. There are several possible reasons why the files are in conflict:

The version of the file that you are trying to install is older than the currently installed version.

It is recommended that you keep the currently installed version.

The new version of the file that you are trying to install is in a different language than the currently installed version.

The new version of the file that you are trying to install uses a character set that cannot be displayed in this version of Windows.

The new version of the file that you are trying to install is a different file type from the currently installed version.

To keep your currently installed file, choose the No button. (If the version you are trying to install is older than the currently installed version, it is recommended that you choose No, and keep the currently installed file.) To replace your currently installed file with the one supplied with Windows version 3.1, choose the Yes button.


Add/Remove Windows Components

Using this dialog box, you can add useful (but nonessential) Windows components to your system. You can also remove components to gain disk space. Usually, you will not need to add components because they are installed when you first set up Windows.

You can select all or only certain parts of a component. For example, you may want to set up some of the Accessories applications, but not others. The check box next to the component shows its current status: X = currently installed; gray = some files currently installed; blank = no component files installed.

Note:	To leave a component as it is, do not change its check box. Change the check box only if you want to add or remove a component or specific files.

To add or remove a complete component

1	To add, select the check box next to the Component description.

To remove, clear the check box.

2	Choose the OK button.

To add or remove part of a component

Setting Up Existing Applications

After you install an application on your system, you can use Setup to make sure it will run smoothly with Windows.

You can direct Setup to search:

Local drives

The current path

Setup creates an icon in a Program Manager group window for each application you add. However, Setup will add an icon for a non-Windows application only if the appropriate program information file (PIF) exists. Setup includes information for many applications, but not all. If Setup does not create a PIF for the application you want to add, you can create one by using PIF Editor.

If you are adding just one Windows application, it might be easier to use Program Manager. If you are adding several Windows applications or one or more non-Windows applications, using Setup is the best method.

To add an application to Windows

1	From the Options menu, choose Set Up Applications.

2	Choose the OK button to search all your local drive(s) for existing applications.

3	In the list, select the locations you want Setup to search.

4	Choose the Search Now button.

When Setup finishes its search, it displays in the left box the names of the applications it found. These names are from the application, they are not supplied by Setup. You must move each application that you want to set up from the left box to the right box.

5	Click each application you want to select.

Or use the arrow keys to move to each application you want, and then press the SPACEBAR to select it.

When you select an application, Setup displays each application's path in the lower-left corner of the dialog box. Because more than one application can have the same name, check the path to make sure the application is the one you want.

Also, since Setup identifies each application by its program filename, at times it may display the wrong name. (For example, WordPerfect and Microsoft Multiplan both use the name WP.EXE.) Check the names of the applications Setup finds to verify that they are the correct applications.

6	Repeat step 3 to select additional applications.

To cancel a selection, select it again.

7	To move selected applications to the right box, choose the Add button. Or press ALT+A.

Or, to move all the listed applications to the right box, choose the Add All button. Or press ALT+D.

If you change your mind after adding an application to the right box, select the application, and then choose the Remove button. Or press ALT+R.

8	Choose the OK button after you have added all the applications you want to set up.


Applications Found on Hard Disk

This list displays all of the applications Setup has found on your drive(s).

To set up an application, select the one you want, and then choose the Add button. Setup displays each application's path in the lower-left corner of the dialog box as it is selected.

To set up all the listed applications, choose the Add All button.


Set Up for Use With Windows

This list displays the application(s) you want to set up to use with Windows. If you change your mind about setting up an application, you can delete it from the list.

To remove one or more applications, select the application(s), and then choose the Remove button.


Add Button

Choosing this button moves the selected applications from the left box to the right box, which contains the list of applications you want set up.


Remove Button

Choosing this button moves the selected applications from the right box to the left box, which contains applications that won't be set up.


Add All Button

Choosing this button moves all the applications from the left box to the right box, which contains the list of applications that you want set up.


File Name

Select a filename, and then choose the OK button.

If the program file you want is not in the File Name list, you may have to change directories by selecting a directory in the Directories list.

Or you can type a filename in this box and then choose the OK button. If the file is not in the current directory, include the path.


List Files of Type

Open the list, and then select the type of file you want to appear in the File Name box.


Directories

Select the directory that contains the program file you want to use. The names of the files in that directory will appear in the File Name list.

If the directory you want is not in the list, you may have to change drives by selecting a drive in the Drives list.


Drives

Open the list, and then select the drive that contains the program file you want. The directories on that drive will appear in the Directories box.


Reboot

Choosing this button restarts your system. After restarting your system, you can start Windows by typing win at the MS-DOS prompt. All options and settings you chose during Setup will be in effect.

Before restarting your system, be sure to remove any floppy disks from your drive(s).

Before restarting Windows, be sure to remove any floppy disks from your drive(s).


Return to MS-DOS

Choosing this button returns you to the MS-DOS prompt. Some options and settings you chose during Windows Setup may not take effect until the next time you restart your computer. (You can restart now by choosing the Reboot button. After restarting your system, you return to the MS-DOS prompt.)


Add

Choosing this button moves the selected file(s) in the left box to the right box, indicating they will be installed on your system when you choose the OK button.

To add one or more files to your system, select the file(s) in the left box, and then choose the Add button. The filenames are moved to the right box.


Remove

Choosing this button moves the selected file(s) in the right box to the left box, indicating they will be removed from your system when you choose the OK button.

To remove one or more files from your system, select the filename(s) in the right box, and then choose the Remove button. The filenames are moved to the left box.


Add All

Choosing this button moves all files from the left box to the right box, so that all files previously not set up on your system will be added when you choose the OK button.

To add all of a component's files to your system, choose the Add All button.


Create

Choosing this button keeps the existing PIF on your system, in addition to the program-item icon associated with the PIF, and creates a new, additional PIF (and icon) that you can use to run the application. You might want to choose this option if the existing PIF is set up with special parameters you don't use all the time; for example, it may load a particular file when the application is started.

The new PIF is created using information supplied by Windows version 3.1 about how to run the application. This information has been tested, so the application will most likely work on your system. You do not have this assurance with the existing PIF, since it was probably created for an earlier version of Windows.


Replace

Choosing this button deletes the existing PIF and creates a new PIF to replace it. All program-item icons associated with the application through the old PIF will now use the new PIF to run the application. The new PIF will most likely enable the application to run on your system.


Cancel

Choosing this button keeps the existing PIF on your system, and no new PIF is created.


Set Up Only Windows Components You Select

Select this option if you want to add only some of the additional Windows components to your system. This can be useful if you have limited space available on your hard disk.

You can set up an entire component, such as Windows Games, or you can select only certain game files to be set up. In addition, many components, such as the Games and Accessories, have online Help available. You can choose not to set up the Help files; however, if you set up a file, it is recommended that you also set up the accompanying Help file. The Help file contains easily accessible information about the application.


Set Up Applications Already on Hard Disk

Select this option if you want to use Windows to set up applications already on your system. For example, you might have a copy of WordPerfect that you would like to set up to run with Windows.


Set Up Printer(s)

Select this option to set up a printer to be used with Windows. During printer setup, you need to know the type of printer you have and the name of the port to which it is connected.

Computers are generally equipped with one or more parallel ports (for example, LPT1) and one or more serial ports (for example, COM1). You can use these ports to connect to hardware devices such as a printer. For information about the ports on your system, see your hardware manual.


Setup can make all modifications for you

If you want Setup to make all the necessary changes, leave the first option selected and choose the Continue button. Setup saves your old system files as AUTOEXEC.OLD and CONFIG.OLD. Subsequent backup copies will have a three-digit extension (for example, .001). Or you can edit the filenames to save your old files under different names.


You can review and edit changes before modifications are made

If you select this option, Setup copies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and makes changes to the copies. Then Setup displays both the proposed new file and your original system file so that you can review the changes and make any further revisions yourself.

When you are satisfied with the changes, Setup creates backup copies of your original system files and saves the proposed new files as your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Backup files are saved as CONFIG.OLD and AUTOEXEC.OLD in the directory where the original files were located. Subsequent backup copies will have a three-digit extension (for example, .001).


You can make the modifications later

Select this option only if you are familiar with MS-DOS configuration files and can use a text editor to make the changes after setting up Windows.

If you select this option, you must make all the changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files yourself after Windows is set up. Setup asks if you want to save copies of your system files with proposed changes, as a record. You can then use these copies to make sure that you include all the necessary changes.

Backup files are saved as CONFIG.OLD and AUTOEXEC.OLD in the directory where the original files are located. If files already exist with those names, Setup assigns numeric extensions, using .000 as first choice; if that file exists, the second choice is .001, and so on.


Setup makes the following changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

Adds to your path the directory in which you are setting up Windows.

Adds the SMARTDRIVE.EXE command line, if appropriate for your system configuration.

Creates a TEMP directory in the Windows directory and sets the TEMP variable to it (if you do not already have a TEMP variable set).


Setup makes the following changes to CONFIG.SYS:

Adds the HIMEM.SYS line.

Adds the SMARTDRIVE.EXE /double_buffer line, if needed by your system.

Updates RAMDRIVE.SYS, if it is in use.

Updates EMM386.EXE, if appropriate.

Updates your Microsoft or Hewlett-Packard mouse driver.

Deletes any incompatible drivers.

Adds or updates your EGA.SYS driver, if you are using an enhanced graphics adapter (EGA) or a Mouse Systems mouse.
