*************************************************************** WizManager Installation on a Network Server *************************************************************** WizManager can be installed on a network server so that all connected users can load and run WizManager on their stations. Each computer running WizManager must have a WizManager License. Contact Mijenix for volume discount and site license information or consult the file SITE_LIC.WRI which can be found on the WizManager installation disk. To run WizManager from a network server, make sure that the following is done: 1. WizManager is declared as a File Manager extension in the user's WINFILE.INI. 2. WizManager’s .INI file (WIZMGR.INI) is in the user’s Windows directory. 3. WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT are in the user’s Windows directory, System directory or PATH. WIZLNCH.DAT is in the user's Windows directory. 4. The user has access to all the WizManager files. For more information on how and what to setup, please read the following paragraphs. *************************************************************** WINFILE.INI Setup, and WIZMGR.INI *************************************************************** To run properly, WizManager needs two setup (.INI) files: WINFILE.INI which is File Manager’s setup file located in the Windows directory, and WIZMGR.INI which is WizManager’s own setup file, also located in the Windows directory. During the installation process (on the server or local hard drive), WizManager’s INSTALL program automatically declares WizManager as a new add-on to File Manager in WINFILE.INI under the [addons] section, on the station running the INSTALL program. However, this modification and declaration in WINFILE.INI has to be done on each station which will run WizManager. For this purpose, a file called WIZ.INI is also created in WizManager's directory during the installation process. WIZ.INI contains the information and addition needed in the WINFILE.INI file to have File Manager load and run WizManager. Use WIZ.INI with the utility program called MERGEINI to easily declare WizManager in all the users’ WINFILE.INI files (see the MERGEINI information paragraph below). The WizManager declaration in WINFILE.INI is something like this entry: [AddOns] WizManager=F:\WIZMGR\WIZMGR.DLL In addition to the new entry in WINFILE.INI, it is necessary to have a file named WIZMGR.INI in the user’s Windows directory with a [WizManager] section in it and an entry which declares the path to the WizManager directory. WizManager needs the specified path to launch its memory unit WIZUNIT.EXE at startup: [WizManager] WizManagerPath=F:\WIZMGR\ The easiest way is to copy the WIZMGR.INI file newly created by INSTALL to all the users Windows directory. And finally, to run WizManager scripts and associate the ZIP extension with WizManager, the following entries have to be added to the users' WIN.INI file under the [Extensions] section: WIZ=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ ZIP=[...]\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.ZIP where [...] represents the path to the WizManager directory (an entry example could be WIZ=F:\WIZMGR\WIZUNIT.EXE ^.WIZ). You can also use MERGEINI to automatically perform these modifications/additions to WIN.INI (see the MERGEINI information paragraph below). *************************************************************** WIZBAR.DLL, WIZCMD.BAT and WIZLANCH.DAT *************************************************************** It is important that the files WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT be in the users' file search path. The file WIZLNCH.DAT must be in the user's Windows directory. By default, all three files are installed in the Windows directory, but WIZBAR.DLL and WIZCMD.BAT can be installed in any directory declared in the user's file search path. If WIZBAR.DLL is not found during File Manager's startup process, WizManager will not be loaded and therefore will not be available to the user. *************************************************************** MERGEINI.EXE Utility Program *************************************************************** A useful utility program named MERGEINI.EXE is provided with the registered version of WizManager. MERGEINI is a DOS program which can be used to 'smartly' merge the information contained in WIZ.INI with WINFILE.INI in every workstation. The MERGEINI command syntax is as follows: MERGEINI Example: MERGEINI F:\WIZMGR\WIZ.INI G:\WINDOWS\WINFILE.INI If any section declared in the does not exist in the , it is automatically created and the related entries are copied from the to the . If a section already exits in the , MERGEINI adds or updates the related entries. MERGEINI can be declared in a login script or batch file so that each user who should have access to WizManager (stored on a file server) would have its WINFILE.INI modified, so that WizManager could be found and loaded when File Manager is launched.
