Uncompress the WPSHELL file to a 720K or 1.44MB diskette (You'll need PKUNZIP version 2.04e or later to uncompress this file. You may obtain the latest PKUNZIP version from the PCTOOLS disk). If installing from hard disk, create a directory and copy all the files to it. 2. Restore the original Windows shell, PROGMAN.EXE by placing the following line in the SYSTEM.INI file: shell=progman.exe Comment out any other "shell=" lines by placing a ';' (semi-colon) in front of the line. 3. Backup your original WPSHELL.INI file in the \WINDOWS directory. This is done just as a precaution so that you can always restore your original desktop if you miss a step. You can name the backup file anything you want (i.e. WPSHELL.BAK or WPSBAK.INI). 4. Boot Windows 3.1x, and run "A:\SETUP.EXE" from the diskette (or hard drive). 5. Press the "Upgrade" pushbutton in the main setup dialog. 6. Enter destination directory where current release is stored. 7. Select which language resources you want to install in your system. Press ENTER if you just want the default. (Remeber that for you to use the different language resources, you need to change the "sLanguage" key in the "Intl" section of the SYSTEM.INI file. Read the README.1ST file for more information). 8. After the installation has successfully finished, restart Windows so that the new shell will take effect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- B) HOW TO DO A NEW INSTALL --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Uncompress the WPSHELL file to a 720K or 1.44MB diskette (You'll need PKUNZIP version 2.04e or later to uncompress this file. You may obtain the latest PKUNZIP version from the PCTOOLS disk). If installing from hard disk, create a directory and copy all the files to it. 2. While in Windows 3.1x, run "A:\SETUP.EXE" from the diskette (or hard drive). 3. Press the "New" pushbutton in the main setup dialog. 4. Choose Express install or Custom install and a destination directory. The installation program backs up any changes to Windows *.INI files and does not modify your current PROGMAN desktop *.GRP files. 5. Select which language resources you want to install in your system. Press ENTER if you just want the default. (Remeber that for you to use the different language resources, you need to change the "sLanguage" key in the "Intl" section of the SYSTEM.INI file. Read the README.1ST file for more information). 6. Restart Windows 3.1x so that the new shell will take effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------- C) AFTER INSTALLATION HAS COMPLETED... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Read the README.1ST file copied into the destination directory.
