SVInstal from Soft Ventures This is the shareware evaluation version of SVInstal. To install SVInstal, 1. Unzip SVINST.ZIP to a floppy or directory on your hard disk. 2. Run SVI3.EXE 3. Read the help file 'Introduction' and 'Getting Started" sections. Thank you for trying SVInstal, Rob Stevens CIS 71441,734 AOL SoftV1988 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes: 3.06 Fixes - SVI3 would go ahead and try to install to a drive that did not (Nov94) have enough space. - SVI3 would get real confused if you put TWO file names into the afterfile (like "NOTEPAD.EXE README.TXT"). SVI 3.06 still does not fully support using the afterfile to run NOTEPAD.EXE. This is because SVI3 passes commandline parameters to the afterfile telling it where the user chose to install the application. To get the above to work you must make a manual change to SVINSTAL.SVI after it is built. Edit it with Windows notepad, and add AT THE END: [AfterFile] AfterFileParameterFlag=N Version 3.1 (available early in 95) will handle this for you. 3.05 Fixes - The source drive listbox was not set to display verticle scroll (Nov94) bars. This meant you could only choose from the first three drives. - The 'Installation Complete' box did not come up on multi-disk installations. - The %F token was not being parsed correctly. 3.04 Fixes - SVI3 fails when trying to install > 24 icons in a program group. (Oct94) Caused by single long DDE command. Now modified to add icons in groups of 10. NOTE: The maximum number of icons that Windows will support in a program group is 50. 3.03 Fixes - SVI3 would fail after decompressing 16 files. (Aug94) - SVI3 would cause a protection fault in PROGMAN if more than 13 icons were being added into a program group. 3.02 Fixes - SVI3, if you selected no bitmap, the calculation of number of (Aug94) file to install would be incorrect. 3.01 Fixes - RunComp "Internal Error" if run more than once. (Aug94) - Files redirected to Windows with icon displayed had icon properties incorrectly set. - Compress.exe, the orginally supplied compress.exe produced files that would decompress fine with the lzexpand.dll that comes with Windows 3.11 but would not expand if using Windows 3.1's lzexpand.dll. Files compressed with the supplied compress.exe now work with both 3.1 and 3.11.
