NETWORK (MULTI-USER) INSTALL  FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL 4.0

                            June 7, 1993

     The following details a network install for Microsoft Excel 
version 4.0 with Windows 3.1 and ARTISOFT LANtastic version 4.x or 
later.  This install is composed of a "Server" install and a 
"Workstation" install.  Check your Microsoft Excel license agreement 
to make sure you will be in compliance with your license.   Contact 
Microsoft for further licensing information.

SERVER INSTALL:
     The server install option for Microsoft Excel is only activated 
when it detects that the install directory you specified is a network 
drive.  With this in mind, we will need to TEMPORARILY create a 
network drive on the server that maps back to itself.  It is important 
to note that this is temporary only (Windows will not load in enhanced
mode on the server if you have created a network drive for the server 
that references one of its own local drives).

1)  Net use a drive letter back to the local drive on the server.     
         NET USE C: \\SERVER\C-DRIVE

2)  Load Windows in standard mode.          
         WIN/S

3)  Use the Window's Progman File Run option to start the Excel setup 
    procedure.   On the run line type the following  (substituting B: 
    for A: if the B: floppy drive is to be used).       
         A:\SETUP      

4)  Specify the path for the Excel install, being sure to use the 
    network drive specified in  1) above.
         C:\EXCEL

5)  Select the 'SERVER' Install option from the 3 options presented 
    by the install screen.  The setup routine will now copy all the 
    Excel files to the harddisk.  
    
6)  Once the install has completed, exit Windows and set the C:\Excel 
    directory to read-only.
         ATTRIB +R  C:\EXCEL\*.*

7)  Remove the network drive mapping done in 1) above.          
         NET UNUSE C:

8)  The server install is now complete.



ALTERNATIVE SERVER INSTALL METHOD  (for dedicated servers)
1)  From workstation or another server, 'Net use' a drive letter to 
    the server's hard drive.
         NET USE E: \\SERVER_NAME\C-DRIVE

2)  Load Windows (standard or enhanced mode is fine).

3)  Use the Progman File Run option to start the EXCEL setup procedure.  
    On the run line, type the following (substituting B: for A: if the 
    EXCEL install disk has been placed in the  B: drive).
         A:\SETUP 

4)  Continue with steps 4 through 6 listed above substituting the 
    network drive letter used in  1) above for the C: drive (E: in 
    this example).

5)  The server install is now complete.



WORKSTATION INSTALL   (for the server)
1)  'Net use' a drive letter back to the local drive on the server  
    (this drive letter will be used to load Excel for the server each 
    time in the future).       
         NET USE C: \\SERVER_NAME\C-DRIVE

2)  Load Windows in standard mode.     
         WIN/S

3)  Run the Excel 'SETUP' program from the Excel directory created 
    during the Server install.
         C:\EXCEL\SETUP

4)  When prompted enter the 'workstation' directory for the server.  
    This directory MUST be unique for the user.   You DO NOT want to 
    specify the same directory used for the Server install option.
         C:\XLUSER1

5)  Select the 'Workstation' install option from the 3 options the 
    install screen displays.

6)  Allow the setup program to modify the autoexec.bat file.  This 
    will modify your path statement to include the Excel Server 
    install directory so that the Excel program files can be located 
    when Excel is run.

7)  Remove the network drive mapping done in 1) above.        
         NET UNUSE C:

8)  Workstation install for the server is now complete.



WORKSTATION INSTALL    (for the workstations)
1)  Login to the server from the workstation.

2)  Map a drive letter to the server's drive that contains the Server 
    install of Excel.  This drive letter will be used to access Excel 
    from now on at this workstation.
         NET USE E: \\SERVER_NAME\C-DRIVE

3)  Load Windows.

4)  Use the Progman File Run option to start the 'SETUP' routine from 
    the Server's Excel directory.
         E:\EXCEL\SETUP

5)  Enter directory to be used by the workstation for the workstation 
    Excel files.  This directory MUST be unique for the user.  You  
    DO NOT want to specify the same directory as the server install.
         C:\XLUSER2   or    E:\XLUSER2

4)  Select the 'Workstation' install option from the 3 options the 
    Excel SETUP displays.

5)  Allow the setup program to modify the Autoexec.bat file.  This 
    will modify your path statement to include the Server Excel 
    directory so that the program files can be located when Excel  
    is run.

6)  Workstation install is complete.
