| paradox | I have set up a share on the coop-svr machine called
FTP.
It contains the paradox install stuff as well as a directory for
paradox updates
that need to be installed. I found paradox would complain when
doing
the install, something about the temp filesystem. My workaround
was
to use a floppy drive and issue the command set TEMP=A:\TEMP and then
to
run setup. Any local partition or network drive that is not too
large
will also work (e.g. connect X: drive to c:\ada\c$; set TEMP=X:\TEMP;
run
setup). After the paradox install, make sure you install all the BDE and Paradox updates. They are in the FTP share. After paradox is installed, you need to set up the temp dir and the lock files in the configuration as well as the data dir. Check one of the other machines and I think it should be fairly obvious how to do it. I usually temporarily put the user for whom I am doing this in the administrators group and then do all the installs. Just remember to take them out later. By convention, here are the drive assignments we normally make: E: Coop F: Coopdata G: Cooplock |
