The article explains how to perform a manual installation of Encarta 96 on a system running Microsoft Windows version 3.1x and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.x. Manual96.bat will copy or recopy the appropriate files onto your system, and then you can run Encarta's Setup program to complete the installation. NOTE: This article does not apply to Windows 95 or Windows NT. MORE INFORMATION ================ ENCARTA 96 ENCYCLOPEDIA MANUAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -------------------------------------------------------- If you encounter difficulties in setting up Encarta Encyclopedia on Windows 3.1x with the SETUP program, you will still be able to fully install and use Encarta Encyclopedia by using a manual installation and MANUAL96.BAT, a batch file that will copy files from the CD to your hard disk. Once the copying is completed, it may be necessary to run Setup.exe from the CD as specified in the Encarta 96 Encyclopedia installation instructions. Running MANUAL96.BAT -------------------- It is recommended that you exit Windows before running MANUAL96.BAT to prevent possible difficulties with replacement of some system files. The MANUAL96.BAT file is located in the x:\AAMSSTP\MANUAL directory of your Encarta Encyclopedia CD (where 'x' is the drive corresponding to your CD-ROM drive). The CD-ROM drive will be referred to as [source] later in these instructions. To run MANUAL96.BAT, change to the x:\AAMSSTP\MANUAL directory and type the following at the MS-DOS prompt: "MANUAL96 [windows dir] [dest]" (without the quotation marks) where [windows dir] is the path to your Windows directory (usually C:\WINDOWS) [dest] is the path and directory to which you want to install Encarta Encyclopedia (usually C:\Encarta) For example: MANUAL96 C:\WINDOWS C:\ENCARTA installs Encarta 96 Encyclopedia to your C drive in the ENCARTA directory and tells the batch file that Windows is located on your C drive in the WINDOWS directory. Important: Running Setup.exe ---------------------------- If you have not previously run Setup.exe from the Encarta 96 Encyclopedia disk, you should do so after running the MANUAL96.BAT file. Once the above instructions have been completed, Encarta will be successfully installed.
