SUMMARY

Microsoft Select is a collection of Microsoft products (with multiple languages included) for Macintosh, Windows, and MS-DOS. This product is available on a set of three compact discs (CDs).

The files included on the three Microsoft Select CDs are platform specific: one CD contains Macintosh applications, one contains Windows applications, and one contains MS-DOS applications. Because these files are compressed, they cannot be installed directly from the CD.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows and MS-DOS Applications

The SELECT.EXE file, located on the root directory of the disk, allows you to create disk images from the programs on the CD. Use the disk appropriate for the type of program you want to install:

• If you want to install Windows applications, use the Microsoft Application Products Disk 1 of 2.
• If you want to install MS-DOS applications, use the Microsoft Application Products Disk 2 of 2

1. From the MS-DOS prompt, switch to the CD-ROM drive:

2. Type "SELECT" (without the quotation marks).

1. Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to select the application you want to install and press ENTER.

2. A list will be displayed showing all of the languages available for the selected application.

3. Use the UP ARROW key and the DOWN ARROW key to select the language and press ENTER.

   MAKE DISKS ON DRIVE A
   MAKE DISKS ON DRIVE B
   MAKE NETWORK INSTALL

If you select the MAKE NETWORK INSTALL option, a directory structure will be created on the specified drive. You can install the program from this directory.

This type of installation is different from the normal Network installation because the files are still compressed. If you run Setup to install Microsoft Excel from the network, you will be prompted only for Complete, Custom, and Minimum Setups. If you want to use the Workstation Setup option, you must run Setup from disks or from the network to install to another network share. After you run Setup (and select the Server option) you can then run Setup from a workstation and you will receive the Workstation option.

Macintosh Applications

To install Macintosh applications from Select, do the following:

1. From the Microsoft Application Products CD, start the Disk Copy 4.2 program.

2. Click the mouse to continue.

3. Choose the Load Image File button.

4. In the dialog box, select the application you want to install and choose the Open button.

5. Select the desired language and choose the Open button.

6. Choose the first of the .IMAGE files and choose the Open button to return to the Disk Duplicator screen.

7. Choose Make A Copy and insert a disk into the disk drive.

8. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until all .IMAGE files have been copied.
