"I wonder if you know what to tell me about my latest puzzle.
i installed Warp 4 on a new machine, then installed the new removable media
storage drivers (so my built-in zip drive would be supported). the
system was installed from the cdrom drive, which was then drive F: (and
the zip drive was not seen at all). the new drivers, however, map
the zip before the cdrom, so F: is now the zip drive and the cdrom has
become G: this doesn't bother some things, but the system seems to
remember that it was installed from F:, so that now selective install fails
because it assumes that drive. do you know any way to change this?
i figure the system has an "installation
drive" parameter squirreled away somewhere, but i haven't been able
to find it."
Not easy this one, but I have an answer eventually (after nearly trashing my machine).
The file you need to edit is x:\OS2\INSTALL\REINSTAL.INI. First, take a copy of this file. Next, get an INI editor - I used INIEDIT2 (here - 90274 bytes - you need VROBJ.DLL as well - here - 402231 bytes). Run this tool with the command INIEDIT2 x:\OS2\INSTALL\REINSTAL.INI, and the program should open. Select the application InstallWindow and an image similar to the one below should appear:-
Click on the Options at the top and remove the Read Only selection. Then double click on SOURCEPATH and change it to the new drive letter of your OS/2 files - see below.
Click on Set and exit the INI Editor. That's it. All new Selective Installs should use the new path you have entered.
More to come as people ask.
Email me if you want some more information.
