4.0 INSTALLING THE

SINGLEĆUSER EXECUTIVE

NOTE: When a target system hard disk is highly fragmented and an

installation is run, there is the potential for file corruption and data

loss because the fragmented hard drive and the file system cannot

handle the file transfer operations taking place during the installation.
As a precaution against data loss during installations run on

fragmented disks, run SCANDISK (CHKDISK) on the target system

hard disk before the installation to correct any hard disk

fragmentation problems.
Use the following procedure to install the Executive software

(M/N 57C605, 57C606, 57C607). This procedure will install the

Executive files and automatically create a Windows program folder

containing the AutoMaxĆrelated icons.
During the installation procedure, the following subdirectories will be

created on the hard disk if they do not already exist:

:\\

:\\\TEMP

:\AMXWORK

Step 1.

To begin installing the Executive software, insert the disk

labeled 1" in floppy drive A: or B:.
Click Start, then click Run, and then type:
ą:\INSTALL.EXE
where:
ą is the floppy drive in which you have placed

ąthe disk.
Click OK" to begin the install procedure.
Before installing any files, the install program will perform

a setup operation, and then display messages describing

the type of installation (Single User or Upgrade Single

User) and the amount of hard disk space required for the

Executive software.
If you are installing the upgrade software (M/N 57C606),

you will be prompted that the install procedure requires a

previously installed copy on the hard drive.

Step 2.

You will be prompted for the drive and subdirectory in

which to install the software. The defaults are as follows:
ą:\\
where:
ą is the hard drive where Windows is installed

ą is the ReSource subdirectory

ą is the AutoMax V4.x subdirectory
You can make changes to any of the above parameters.
:\AMXWORK will be the default working drive and

subdirectory. If you need to change the default, you must

do so at the Setup menu in the Executive software.
