Windows 95 SLIP and Scripting Support for Dial-Up Networking
Windows 95 Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) support enables you to use
Dial-Up Networking to connect to any remote access server that uses the
SLIP standard. (For more information about SLIP, see the Microsoft Windows
95 Resource Kit.)
Scripting support makes it possible for you to use scripts with Dial-Up
Networking. Many online service providers require you to enter information
such as your user name and password in order to establish a connection.
With Dial-Up Scripting, you can write a script to automate this process.
For more information, see "Creating Dial-Up Networking Scripts" later in
this document.
Who Should Install SLIP and Scripting Support?
You should install SLIP and scripting support if:
You use Dial-Up Networking and want to create scripts to automate the
connection process.
-or-
You need to use Dial-Up Networking to connect to remote access servers
that use the SLIP standard.
Installing SLIP and Dial-Up Scripting on a single computer is easy.
To install Dial-Up Scripting on a single computer
1. On the Windows 95 Service Pack 1 CD, open the
\Admin\Componts\Dscript folder.
2. Double-click the Script.exe file.
Installing SLIP and Scripting Support on a Netsetup or Server-Based Setup
You can install SLIP and Scripting Support on a Windows 95 network
installation site or on a server from which many users run Windows 95.
To install SLIP and Scripting Support on a Windows 95 netsetup or server-
based setup
1. Open the \Admin\Tools\Infinst folder.
2. Double-click the Infinst.exe file.
3. In the Server Path dialog box, type the path to your network
installation of Windows 95. Precede the path with two
backslashes (\\). For example, if your Windows 95 installation
is on a server named Products in a shared subdirectory of the
Windows directory, you would type:
\\Products\Public\Windows
4. In the Open dialog box, open the
\Admin\Componts\Dscript\Netsetup folder, and then double-click
the Rnaplus.inf file.
5. Modify the Layout.inf files on your network installation of
Windows 95:
Replace the following entries in the Layout.inf:

upcoming enhancements
Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0
Upgrading to version 2.0 is easy, whether you are already using a version
of Internet Explorer or whether you are using another Internet browser.
Note
You cannot install Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 on a computer that is
running a Shared Installation of Windows 95 (running Windows 95 from a
network server). Also note: you cannot update a Windows 95 Network
installation site to Internet Explorer 2.0.
To install Internet Explorer 2.0 on a single machine
1. Open the Internet folder.
2. Double-click the Msie20.exe file, and then follow the
instructions on your screen.
To make it easy for your users to install Internet Explorer 2.0
You can use one of the following methods:
Embed Msie20.exe in an e-mail message that you send to your users. In the
message, instruct them to double-click it.
Copy Msie20.exe from the Service Pack 1 CD to a publicly available folder
on your network server. Then, either you can:
Embed a shortcut to Msie20.exe (on the server) in an e-mail message to your
users. In the e-mail message, instruct them to double-click the file.
Instruct your users to connect the folder where you copied Msie20.exe and
then double-click the file.
Instruct your users to connect directly to the network server and double-
click Msie20.exe.
Use Microsoft Systems Management Server or another automation tool to
distribute and run Msie20.exe.
Incorporate Msie20.exe into a network login script, so that when your users
log in to your network, their systems automatically run Msie20.exe.
Use Apps.ini file and add/remove components. See the Microsoft Windows 95
Resource Kit, Chapter 22, for more information about installing
applications. INFGEN, included in the Service Pack, can help configure
MSbatch.inf to automatically install the appropriate support on the clients
for this feature. Select the "Add Extras to Add/Remove Programs" option in
INFGEN. There is also a sample Apps.ini file in the
\Admin\Tools\Infgen\Addon\Extras folder on the Service Pack CD.
Create a "Run Once" System Policy (Config.pol) on the login in server that
points to Msie20.exe. See the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit, Chapter
15, for more information about system policies.
You should note that Msie20.exe will attempt to run once each time a user
logs in to the network until the policy is changed.

Windows 95 Infrared Driver
The Windows 95 Infrared driver enables you to use IrDA devices to connect
to peripheral devices or other Windows 95 computers wirelessly-without
using cables.
Who Should Install the Infrared Driver?
You should install the Windows 95 Infrared driver if your computer is
equipped with an Infrared (IrDA-compatible) device that you want to use
with Windows 95.
Installing the IR Communications Driver
This section explains how to install the Infrared driver. (Before carrying
out this procedure, read the Relnotes.doc document, which is located in the
\Admin\Componts\Infrared folder. Relnotes.doc contains important technical
information about installing and using the Infrared driver.)
Important
If you have a previous version of the IR communications (Infrared) driver,
you must remove it before you can install the Windows 95 version. For
instructions, see the section "An Optional Step: Removing the IR
Communications Driver" in Relnotes.doc.
To install the Windows 95 Infrared driver on a single computer
1. If you are using an IR adapter, attach it to a serial (COM)
port. If your computer has a built-in IR device, note which
port that device is assigned to.
2. Double-click the Setup.exe file in the \Admin\Componts\Infrared
folder.
3. If the Add Infrared Device Wizard is unable to find your
Infrared hardware device, restart your computer. (You do not
need to restart your computer if the wizard is able to find
your device.)
4. In Control Panel, double-click the Infrared Device icon.
NOTE: You cannot install Windows 95 Infrared driver on a computer that is
running a Shared Installation of Windows 95 (running Windows 95 from a
network server). Also note: you cannot install the driver into a Windows 95
Network installation site.
Getting More Information About Infrared
For more information about using Infrared, see the Relnotes.doc document in
the \Admin\Componts\Infrared folder.
Microsoft 32-Bit DLC Protocol for Windows 95
The Data Link Control (DLC) protocol is used primarily to access IBM
mainframe and IBM(r) AS/400 computers. The 32-bit DLC protocol software for
Windows 95 enables a network administrator to add support for 32-bit and
16-bit DLC programs. Host terminal-emulation programs use this protocol to
communicate directly with mainframe computers. The DLC protocol is not used
for general networking with Windows 95.
Who Should Install the 32-Bit DLC Protocol?
You should install the 32-Bit DLC protocol if you are a network
administrator and want to provide access to IBM mainframe and/or IBM AS/400
computers by using 32-bit and 16-bit DLC programs (for example, host
terminal-emulation programs).
Installing and Configuring the 32-Bit DLC Protocol
It's easy to install the 32-Bit DLC Protocol files.
To install the 32-Bit DLC Protocol files on a single machine
1. In Control Panel, double-click Network.
2. Click Add, and then click Protocol.
3. Click Have Disk, and then open the \Admin\Componts\Msdlc32
folder.
4. Select Microsoft 32-bit DLC, and then click OK. Setup will copy
the DLC files.
5. To select DLC options, click Advanced in the properties for the
protocol.
To configure the 32-Bit DLC protocol
For more information about configuring the 32-bit DLC protocol, see the
Readme.doc document located in the folder that contains your 32-Bit DLC
Protocol files.
To install the 32 Bit DLC protocol on more than one machine or add to an
automated Windows 95 Setup
For specific instructions about installing the 32-Bit DLC Protocol on
single and multiple desktops, double-click the Dlc32.hlp file in that
folder.
Dlc32.hlp will be copied to the \Windows\Help directory during a server-
based install setup (Netdlc32.sbs), but will not be copied if installed
using the Have Disk method (Netdlc32.inf). If you want Dlc32.hlp in the
\Windows\Help directory, you will need to copy it manually.
Important
Some corrections and additions to the DLC32.HLP information:
"Copy the following line to the [Network] section of the Msbatch.inf file:
protocols=32dlc"
This line should actually be protocols=MSDLC32.
Batch 2.0 included in the Service Pack will add the correct entry.
When installing the 32-bit DLC protocol into a server-based setup
installation, you will need to use Netdlc32.sbs. Change to the directory
or network drive where you have copied the 32-bit DLC component, and then
delete or rename Netdlc32.inf. Then rename Netdlc32.sbs to Netdlc32.inf.
This is the INF you should then use with INFINST.
INFINST might ask for the location of Dlc.vxd during the installation. Just
accept the source path INFINST asks for and INFINST will continue to update
the Netsetup directory on the server.
NOTE: If you are using MSDLC32 in an environment where Windows 95 is
running from a network server, you might need to update Autoexec.bat. This
will only affect you if you are running 16-bit applications that need DLC.
To update Autoexec.bat
1. Edit the Autoexec.bat file to ensure that Net.exe is loaded
before Dlchlp.exe.
2. Check to see that the path for Dlchlp.exe is set for the shared
directory on the network server you run Windows 95 from.
Example of correct Autoexec.bat text:
NET.EXE
G:\Netsetup\dlchlp.exe
If Setup fails during an installation of 32-bit DLC
After you install Windows 95 to a local hard disk from a server-based
installation of Windows 95, your computer may stop responding ("hang") when
Setup tries to restart the computer.
Possible Cause:
The Msbatch.inf file has Dial-Up Networking chosen, and MSDLC32 has been
added using Infinst.exe. The dial-up adapter does not bind to MSDLC32.
Resolution:
Add the following line to the [Network] section of the Msbatch.inf file:
RemoveBindings=msdlc32,*PNP8387

Microsoft Word Viewer
Microsoft Word Viewer version 7.1 enables you to view and print documents
created by using Microsoft Word for Windows, even if you do not have Word
for Windows. When you display a document in Word Viewer, it appears exactly
as it would in Word; when you print a document, it looks just as if you had
printed it from Word. You can also zoom and outline, and view page layout,
headers, footers, footnotes, and annotations. Although you cannot use Word
Viewer to edit documents, you can copy information from Word documents and
activate OLE objects embedded within them.
Word Viewer requires the following hardware and software:
- A personal computer with a 386DX or higher processor
- Microsoft Windows 95 operating system or Microsoft Windows NT
Workstation operating system, version 3.51 or later
- 4 MB of memory for Windows 95 (8 MB recommended) or 12 MB of memory for
Windows NT Workstation
- 3 MB of free hard-disk space (6 MB free for installation only)
