MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Word 5.50 Setup program recognizes a special startup parameter, “Setup network,” that allows the Word 5.50 disk images to be installed on a network file server. The network installation is intended for organizations or companies that have purchased License Packs and fulfilled the licensing agreement so that multiple users can access the same copy of Word version 5.50.

This special version of Setup (Setup network) will:

  Copy SETUP.EXE and WORD55.INF to the main directory specified on the file server.   Create a subdirectory for each disk supplied in the Word package and copy the contents of each disk into its corresponding directory. Note: During this step, compressed files on the disks are not decompressed. 

After all of the disks have been copied, Setup will prompt you to enter the name of the company that purchased Word 5.50 software and License Packs.

After you enter your company name, a hidden SETUP.INI file containing that name is placed in the PROG3 subdirectory (if 5.25-inch disks are used for installation) or the PROG2 subdirectory (if 3.5-inch disks are used). This subdirectory on the network file server cannot be removed until the SETUP.INI file is made visible (the hidden attribute for the file is removed) and then deleted.
