This article describes how to install the Supplemental WordPerfect Conversions Kit on a network so that users can set up the converters to use on their workstations.
Network installation is a two-part process. First, the Network Administrator performs an Administrative Setup, then each user at a workstation performs a Workstation Setup.
If users on the network are running shared Windows from the server, the person performing the Network install must be running the same shared Windows, and must have all directory privileges to the shared Windows directory.
1. If you are installing the Conversion Kit from a floppy disk, insert the
disk in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
If you downloaded WPCNV.EXE from an online service, you'll need to
expand the files so they can be installed. Make sure the WPCNV.EXE file
has been placed in a new directory before expanding the files it
contains.
IMPORTANT: Don't expand the files into the Word directory, as the Setup
program will fail when run.
To expand the files contained in the WPCNV.EXE file so that you can
proceed to the next step:
a. In File Manager, locate WPCNV.EXE and double-click the filename.
b. Choose OK.
3. Type "<source>:\setup /A" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER,
where "<source>" is the directory containing the extracted contents of
WPCNV.EXE, or if the kit was ordered on disk, the drive letter where the
disk was inserted.
For example, type
c:\download\setup /A
-or-
a:\setup /A
directory is WPKIT at the root level of the server.
shared components are stored, and is typically the MSAPPS directory on
the server.
subsequent Workstation installations from the server. The choices are:
Server, Local Hard Drive, and User's Choice.
The WordPerfect Kit Administrative Setup File Organization section below
illustrates where the files are placed on the server.
Each user at a Workstation will then need to run SETUP.EXE from the network server location. Each user performing a Workstation install must specify his or her own Word directory as the destination directory when prompted by Setup. The user's Word directory can reside on the local workstation, or on the server.
1. Exit Microsoft Word if it is running.
2. In Program Manager, click Run on the File menu.
3. Type "<source>:\setup" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER,
where "<source>" is the path to the directory located on the server as
specified by the Network Administrator in Step 4 in the Administrative
Setup. (The default directory is WPKIT located at the root level.)
installation (Complete, Custom, or Workstation), the user must specify
the user's Word directory.
NOTE: The shared Word directory on the server may appear as the default
destination directory in the dialog screen. However, the shared Word
directory must only be selected during the Administrative Setup of the
kit.

* These items can be stored on the server if the user so specifies. The
user will be able to specify where the starred items are stored if the
Network Administrator chooses "User's Choice" in step 7 of
Administrative Installation.
+ In a shared Windows environment, these items will be stored in the user
Windows directory either on the server or on the local drive. Note that
under shared Windows, a <Windows>\SYSTEM subdirectory does not exist.
All files that would typically be installed in the <Windows>\SYSTEM
subdirectory of a local install of Windows would be installed in the
Windows directory.
