Be sure to follow this NOSL95.TXT file carefully. Restart the Windows 95 machine to DOS mode by selecting |Start|Shutdown| |Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode?|Yes|, before updating the files. Windows 95 places a file lock on files in the Windows 95 \SYSTEM directory. As a result, the machine will not allow the file to be overwritten when Windows 95 is active and may generate a 'Sharing violation' error. After the Windows 95 machine has been restarted in DOS mode, run the NEWL95.BAT batch file from the temporary directory where NOSL95.EXE was extracted. This will update the required files of LANtastic for Windows 95. To install the update manually, or if you have problems running the batch file, save the .VPE, .MSG, and .DLL files listed on the PRODUCT: line (above) from your Windows 95 \SYSTEM directory (normally C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) to a backup location, in case they are needed to return to a prior configuration. Then copy the .VPE, .MSG, and .DLL files listed in the PRODUCT: line (above) from the temporary directory to your Windows 95 \SYSTEM directory, (normally C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM), and to your LANtastic for Windows 95 "INSTALL" directory, C:\LANTASTI\WIN95\INSTALL. Save the LCAEXEC.EXE and SERVER.LCA files from your C:\LANTASTI\WIN95 directory to a backup location. Then copy the updated LCAEXEC.EXE and SERVER.LCA files from the temporary directory to your C:\LANTASTI\WIN95 directory, and to your LANtastic for Windows 95 "INSTALL" directory, C:\LANTASTI\WIN95\INSTALL. Once you have copied the updated files to the appropriate destination directories, either manually or by using the NEWL95.BAT batch file, you can restart Windows 95 normally. Note that the NEWL95.BAT batch file will place copies of your original files in a .\NOSL95.OLD directory below your temporary directory. Repeat this procedure for all LANtastic for Windows 95 machines on the network. If you have any difficulties, please contact Artisoft Technical Support at (520) 670-7000.
