The replacement files provide additional enhancements to the original setup files. These replacement files resolve the following problems that can occur when you use version 1.0 of Electronic Forms Designer: - When you are using Server Setup or User Setup to install to a shared Windows environment, the Setup program may generate errors when it is attempting to copy files. - When you are using User Setup to install to a shared Windows environment, the Setup program may copy unnecessary files to the user's private Windows directory. - When you are installing on a Novell(R) network where the Map Root command was used to attach a drive, the Server Setup and User Setup programs may generate errors indicating that various files could not be found. To download the updated file ---------------------------- The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center: DownloadDownload Efsetup.exe now (http://download.microsoft.com/download/efd10win/Update/1.01/WIN98/EN-US/Efsetup.exe) For additional information about how to download Microsoft Support files, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of posting to scan this file for viruses.

README.TXT To replace your E-Forms setup files ----------------------------------- To replace the E-Forms setup files, you will need to copy the files included with this update to Disk 1 of the Electronic Forms Designer. Two of the files included with this update are compressed to match their original format on the disk. After the files have been replaced on the floppy disk, you can run the Server Setup program to reinstall the Electronic Forms Designer. It is not recommended that these files be manually decompressed and copied to existing installations. See page 123 of the Electronic Forms Designer "Developer's Guide" for more information on using the Server Setup and User Setup programs. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER " copy :\*.* " (without the quotation marks) where is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting EFSETUP.EXE file and is the drive containing the Electronic Forms Designer Disk 1. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and the Electronic Forms Designer Disk 1 is in drive B, type the following command: " copy d:\test\*.* b:\ " (without the quotation marks) Additional Notes on Installing to Shared Windows Environments ------------------------------------------------------------- Before running Server Setup in a shared Windows environment, the administrator must have read/write access to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory. (Normally, this is a read-only directory.) Once the files have been installed by Server Setup, the users can install Electronic Forms Designer to their private Windows directories using the User Setup program. In addition, if a new version of a support file is placed in the shared Windows directory, and not in the E-Forms Server Setup directory, the User Setup program will fail due to inconsistent versions. To avoid errors, it is important for the versions of the support files in the E-Forms Server Setup directory (the default is ADDONS\EFORMS) to be the same as those in the shared Windows directory.
