8/28/00 Installing UA when
MSI won't install
|
Some
people seem to be unable to get the Microsoft Software Installer
to install. Until we establish what
the cause
is, our best recommendation
is to bypass the Install Switch and assume that each module installs
correctly.
Here are
the steps to do that.
1. Put
in
CD-ROM.
2. When
install switch
appears, press cancel.
3. Open
explorer, find
the Scripting folder on the CD.
4. If the
customer has
Windows 95 or Windows 98, open the folder 9xInstMsi and double
click on
InstMsi.exe.
Follow
on-screen instructions. Reboot if suggested.
5. If the
customer has
Windows NT, open the folder NTInstMsi and double click on
InstMsi.exe.
Follow
on-screen
instructions.
Reboot if suggested.
6. If the
customer has
Windows 2000, MSI should already be installed.
7. Reopen
Exporer if needed,
and find the Scripting folder again.
8. Double
click on ActivePerl.msi,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
9. Double
click on sct10en.exe,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
10. Double
click on vbsdoc.exe,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
11. Return
to the root
directory on the CD, and double click on Set2020.exe.
Hopefully
this will allow our customers to move forward until the problem
is solved,

8/28/00 Installing UA when
MSI won't install
|
Some
people seem to be unable to get the Microsoft Software Installer
to install. Until we establish what
the cause
is, our best recommendation
is to bypass the Install Switch and assume that each module
installs
correctly.
Here are
the steps to do that.
1. Put
in
CD-ROM.
2. When
install switch
appears, press cancel.
3. Open
explorer, find
the Scripting folder on the CD.
4. If the
customer has
Windows 95 or Windows 98, open the folder 9xInstMsi and double
click on
InstMsi.exe.
Follow
on-screen instructions. Reboot if suggested.
5. If the
customer has
Windows NT, open the folder NTInstMsi and double click on
InstMsi.exe.
Follow
on-screen
instructions.
Reboot if suggested.
6. If the
customer has
Windows 2000, MSI should already be installed.
7. Reopen
Exporer if needed,
and find the Scripting folder again.
8. Double
click on ActivePerl.msi,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
9. Double
click on sct10en.exe,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
10. Double
click on vbsdoc.exe,
and follow the on-screen instructions.
11. Return
to the root
directory on the CD, and double click on Set2020.exe.
Hopefully
this will allow our customers to move forward until the problem
is solved,
