9.10Windows Installation Utility

Overview

MS-Windows has been installed on the MASK ROM drive (E:). However, MS-Windows cannot be booted directly from the MASK ROM drive. This is because MS-Windows will overwrite some of the INI files at start up. However, since all the files including the INI files are initially located in the MASK ROM drive, they cannot be overwritten, therefore an error will result. To avoid this problem, it is necessary to copy some of the files in the write-permit drive (D:) before booting MS-Windows. Set up the country code and language to be used internally by Windows. WINST.EXE handles all these processes. WINST.EXE can also be used to install application programs. MS-Windows will load a program, specified by the shell script contained in the [boot] section of system.ini, as an application program. The Program Manager is loaded when MS-Windows is booted because the Program Manager has been specified by the above mentioned shell script. For this terminal it is recommended to specify the application program instead of the Program Manager. All processes, including rewriting of the system.ini file, can be automatically handled with WINST.EXE.

File name:

WINST [/M] [/T<directory>][Script File]

Start Option

The default operations can be modified by specifying a start option to initiate WINST.EXE. The options that can be specified and their functions are shown in the table below.

Option

Description

/M

This option specifies for WINST.EXE to be initiated from the menu. With the

 

initiated menu Windows files can be installed after modifying, if necessary, the

 

contents specified by the WINST.INF file. WINST.INF itself will not be

 

automatically modified by this menu initiation.

/T<directory>

The default target directory of installation differs depending the working

 

environment of WINST.EXE. If WINST.EXE is executed on a personal

 

computer, the target directory will be the WINDOWS directory under the current

 

directory. If WINST.EXE is executed on an IT-2000, the target directory will be

 

the D:￿WINDOWS directory. If this option is specified, installation will be

 

performed assuming the target directory is <directory>.

Script File

By default, WINST.EXE will perform installation according to the WINST.INF

 

file. The WINST.INF file must exist under the same directory as the

 

WINST.EXE file. If "Script File" is specified, the user-specified file can be used

 

instead of the WINST.INF file.
