5.0 INSTALLING THE

SHAREDĆUSER 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.
This chapter describes how to install the sharedĆuser version of the

Executive software, which allows up to five users to run the

Executive simultaneously (M/N 57C625, M/N 57C626). Installation of

the sharedĆuser Executive requires two separate procedures.
The first procedure, in section 5.1, describes how to install the

Executive on the network file server. This procedure must be done

first.
The second procedure, in section 5.2, describes how to install the

Executive on each network node that will use the Executive

software.
During the installation procedure, the following subdirectories will be

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

:\RPE\

:\RPE\\TEMP

For DPS Software Users:
If you install sharedĆuser Executive software and you want to install

any DPS software options, you must first install the sharedĆuser DPS

software. See chapter 8 for more information.
