INF: Manual Decompression of SQL Server Files
ID: Q105020
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft SQL Server for OS/2, version 4.2
-
Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2x
SUMMARY
The files included on the SQL Server distribution diskettes with names
that end with a @ or _ character are compressed. These files can be
manually decompressed by using either SQL Server SETUP.EXE or UNPACK.EXE.
MORE INFORMATION
For a given SQL Server diskette set, if setup is a graphical,
Windows-based application, then SETUP.EXE can be used to decompress a
file from that disk set.
Please ensure that you use the SETUP.EXE from the SQL Server diskette,
and not from another software package. The SETUP /? command will display
complete usage information. Running the following command will
decompress a compressed file:
setup /Z <compressed-file> <decompressed-file>
For a given SQL Server disk set, if setup is a character mode
application, then the UNPACK.EXE utility can be used to decompress a
file from that set.
Please ensure that you use the UNPACK.EXE from the SQL Server diskette,
and not from another software package. The UNPACK /? command will
display complete usage information. Running the following command will
decompress a compressed file:
unpack <compressed-file> <decompressed-file>
In both cases, <compressed-file> is the complete path and file name of
the compressed source file (including the @ or _ character), and
<decompressed-file> is the complete path and file name of the
decompressed destination file (not including the @ or _ character).
NOTE: This often means replacing the @ or _ character with another
character to create the correct destination file name. For example, a
compressed source file named SQLSERVR.EX@ should be decompressed to a
destination file named SQLSERVR.EXE.
