Encarta Manual Installation Instructions
If you encounter difficulties in setting up Encarta with the Setup program, you will still be able to fully install and use Encarta by using a manual installation and Manual.bat, a batch file that will copy files from the CD to your hard disk.

Once the copying is completed, it may be necessary to run Setup.exe from the CD as specified in the Encarta installation instructions.

Running Manual.bat
It is recommended that you exit Windows before running Manual.bat to prevent possible difficulties with replacement of some system files.

The Manual.bat file is located in the x:\Aamsstp subdirectory of your Encarta CD (where 'x' is the drive corresponding to your CD-ROM drive). The CD-ROM drive will be referred to as [source] later in these instructions.

To run Manual.bat, change to the x:\amsstp subdirectory and type the following at the MS-DOS prompt:

Manual [windows dir] [dest]

Where [windows dir] is the path to your Windows subdirectory (usually C:\Windows)

[dest] is the path and directory to which you want to install Encarta (usually C:\Encarta)

For example:

Manual C:\Windows C:\Encarta

installs Encarta to your C drive in the Encarta subdirectory and tells the batch file that Windows is located on your C drive in the Windows subdirectory.

NOTE: If you do not provide the [windows dir] and the [dest], Manual.bat will copy the files into an \Encfiles subdirectory in your Temp subdirectory. For example: C:\Temp\Encfiles

The files can then be copied into the \Encarta, \Windows, and \Windows\System subdirectories.

Important: Running Setup.exe
If you have not previously run Setup.exe from the Encarta disk, you should do so after running the Manual.bat file.

When the above instructions have been completed, Encarta will be successfully installed.
