Upgrading an Existing DeskMan/2 Installation

If you are installing an Upgrade version of DeskMan/2 version 2.0 over an existing DeskMan/2 version 1.x installation, do NOT remove the existing DeskMan/2 files. Follow these instructions:

  1. Open the OS/2 System Object settings notebook to the Objects minor tab of the Extensions tab and confirm that the Delete checkbox is clear.
  2. Insert Diskette #1 into your floppy drive.
  3. Run the Install program.
  4. The DeskMan/2 Installation program will first check your computer and will only proceed if it detects existing DeskMan/2 version 1.x components.
  5. Be sure to use Custom installation and verify the file locations in the installation program before clicking Install.

If you are installing a new copy, not an Upgrade version, of DeskMan/2 version 2.0 over an existing DeskMan/2 1.x installation or an existing sampler or demonstration version of DeskMan/2 (either 1.x or 2.x):

  1. Use the currently installed Installation program to remove all the installed DeskMan/2 components. Your DeskMan/2 configuration files will remain and be used by version 2.0.
  2. Use the version 2.0 Install program to install the new components.
  3. Be sure to use Custom installation and verify the file locations in the Installation program before clicking Install.
