Outline of WINST.EXE Operations

Basically, WINST.EXE will perform the following tasks. Not all of the tasks are always executed but information about each task is specified by WINST.INF.

Copies a file in E:WINDOWS￿LOCAL to D:￿WINDOWS.

Correct the contents of the Sytem.INI or Win.INI file according to the language, country code, and keyboard type to be used.

￿Copies the drivers to be used and registers them in SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI. Copies the libraries (DLL/VBX) to be used.

The target directory of installation in the above described processes differs depending on the execution environment of WINST.EXE. For example, if WINST.EXE is executed on the IT-2000, SYSTEM.INI, which is to be modified, must be in the D:￿WINDOWS directory. However, if WINST.EXE is executed on a personal computer, the SYSTEM.INI file in the WINDOWS directory under the current directory will be modified.

The following table shows the difference of the processed contents depending on whether WINST.EXE was executed on the IT-2000 or on the personal computer.
