Version 1.2 3/19/97

There are four steps you must take to install Windows95:

	1) Create a new C: drive on which Windows95 will be installed
	2) Install Windows95 on that new drive
	3) Configure the new SunPC file system driver
	4) Configure the new SunPC video driver.

Each of these steps are described below.


CREATE A NEW C: DRIVE

	1) Click on the properties button on the SunPC Window

	2) Select Drive

	3) On the SunPC Drive Pop-up, click on "Hard Disks"

	4) Enter a new drive name at the "New Disk Name" prompt (e.g., C.win95)

	5) Insure the Disk Size is at least 60Mb.

	6) Click on "Create Disk"

	7) In the scrolling list, select the newly created disk.

	8) Click right on "Use Selected Disk Name" and select "As Drive C"

	9) SunPC will ask if it can be rebooted, hit Yes

	10) When SunPC Reboots, select the appropriate locale

	11) Click on the properties button on the SunPC Window

	12) Select Miscellaneous

	13) Insure that "Memory Size" is at least 8Mb (16Mb is preferable
	    but will require more than 32Mb of memory in your Sparcstation), 
	    Hit Apply if necessary

	14) From the DOS prompt, type F:\drivers\win95\prep

		This batch file copies the necessary drivers and MS-DOS files from
		the write protected area on drive F: to the local C: drive in preparation
		for installing Windows 95.  Windows 95 will overwrite certain MS-DOS executables
		with their Windows 95 replacements.  Since the F: drive is write protected
		(because it is in /opt), this causes installation errors.  This batch file
		copies those files to the writable C: drive.

		In addition, this script copies the ODI drivers and a template autoexec.bat file
		to the C: drive. The default autoexec.bat loads the ODI drivers which are a 
		necessary component for Windows 95 filesystem operation.  After all the files
		have been copied locally,  the BOOTME utility automatically reboots SunPC.

	15) After SunPC reboots,  continue on to the "INSTALL WINDOWS 95
	    FROM UPGRADE CD" or "INSTALL WINDOWS95 - FULL RELEASE" section
	    whichever is appropriate.



INSTALL WINDOWS 95 FROM UPGRADE CD

	Note: Because this is an upgrade product, you will have to
	prove to the Windows 95 setup program that you already have a
	copy of Windows 3.1.  If you have your Windows 3.1 disk1 handy, 
	proceed on to Step 5.

	If you use the preinstalled Windows 3.1 contained on the SunPC
	4.1 CD, you will have to copy that directory off of the cd into
	a temporary area. This is necessary because the CDROM will be in
	use by Windows 95 setup. This will require about 12 Mb of temporary
	space.

	1) Insert the SunPC 4.1 CD into your CD player

	2) If you are *not* running the volume manager, mount the CD-ROM

		as root, mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom

	3) Copy the preinstalled windows 3.11 area to /tmp/win311

		cp -r /cdrom/cdrom0/win311 /tmp/win311 

	4) Eject the SunPC 4.1 CD. 

		eject cdrom

	5) Insert the MS-Windows95 upgrade CD-ROM in your CD player.

	6) Start SunPC (if it isn't already)

		sunpc

	7) Make sure Windows is *not* running. From a MS-DOS prompt:

		R:
		cd \cdrom
		cd cdrom0  (only do this if you are running volume manager)

	8) type .\setup

	9) You will see a message "Setup is going to perform a routine check of
	   your system...." Press ENTER to continue.

	10) Move the mouse into the SunPC window. Attach the mouse to the
	    window using meta-m.

	11) You will see a "Windows 95 Setup Window". Click on continue to
	    proceed. If you see a message that "Setup has found an existing
	    version of Windows", you have missed a step. Start over. Otherwise
	    press Continue to proceed.

	12) When the "Software License Agreement" window appears, Read the
	    license agreement and hit yes if you agree with the terms of the
	    agreement.

	13) Setup will attempt to locate a qualifying product. When the upgrade
	    check fails to find one, hit the Locate button and pull down the "Drives"
	    menu.  If you have Disk 1 ready, insert the disk in the floppy drive and
	    select A: and OK. After setup has detected the floppy, make sure that you
	    eject it with the Meta+E key inside the SunPC window.

	    If you don't have a floppy and you previously copied the preinstalled
	    windows directory off the SunPC 4.1 CD, double click on drive R:. Then
	    continue to scroll and double click on folders until you have selected
	    the directory R:\tmp\win311\system. Hit OK to continue setup.

	14) Click Next and the Windows installation will begin. When you are asked 
	    to choose an installation directory, make sure that it is C:\windows.

	    Note: When you are asked if your hardware should be checked. Indicate Yes.

	15) A "Setup Options" will appear. You have the opportunity to
	    customize your installation here. However, certain additional
	    components are required for SunPC so select "Custom" and hit next.

	16) A "User Information" window will appear. Enter the necessary
	    information and click on the next key.

	17) A "CD Key" window will appear. Enter your CD key (typically found 
	    on the back of the CD-ROM envelope) and hit the next button.

	18) A "Analyzing Your Computer" window will appear. Hit the next button 
	    to Continue. Do NOT check the boxes indicating that you have a CD-ROM
	    or sound card when prompted.

	19) The Setup program will start to analyze your computer. During 
	    this analysis, the progress bar may stall at 8% and 96% for several
	    minutes. This is to be expected. During this time, the mouse pointer
	    in the SunPC window will appear frozen. Also during this analysis, the
	    Setup program may generate several test print jobs.

	20) A "Get Connected" window will appear. Hit the next key when you are
	    satisfied with your selections.

	21) A "Select Components" window will now appear because of the "Custom"
	    installation specified earlier.  You may customize your installation
	    options here. Hit Next when you finish with your selections. NOTE: it
	    may take several seconds to see the next menu. Do not click again on
	    the next button or you may inadvertently skip the next window.

	22) A "Network Configuration" window will appear. Check the currently selected
	    components. If "Client for Microsoft Networks" is not in the list, do 
	    this:

		- hit the "Add" button.
		- Double Click "Client"
		- Select Manufacturer "Microsoft"
		- Select Network Client "Client for Microsoft Networks"
		- and hit Ok.
		- Pulldown the "Primary Network Logon" menu and select "Client for
		  Microsoft Networks" and hit Next.

	23) An "Identification" window will appear. Enter the requisite 
	    information and hit the next key.

	24) A "Computer Settings" window will appear. Select the display type and
	    hit "Change".  Select "Show All Devices" and scroll up to the top
	    and select "Standard Display Types". Select "Standard Display Adapter
	    (VGA)" and hit Ok.

	25) Scroll down to the Monitor item, select it and hit "Change". In the
	    "Models" window, select "SuperVGA 1024x768" and hit Ok.

		Please take a moment to review the Computer Settings. Failure
		to select Standard VGA with a SuperVGA 1024x768 monitor may
		result in an unviewable window after Windows 95 reboots. When
		you have verified these settings are correct, hit Next to continue.

	26) You will now be asked if you wish to create a startup disk. If you
	    do, click on the yes button and follow the directions. Otherwise,
	    click on the no button. Hit Next to continue.

	27) A "Start Copying Files" window will appear. Hit next to continue.

	28) A "Copying Files" window will appear. This indicates the progress
	    of the installation. The window will be present for several minutes
	    as the installation continues.

	29) A "Finish Setup" window will appear. Click on the finish button.
	    The Setup program will reboot SunPC.  When Windows 95 starts up,
	    the logo screen will cause colormap flashing on your system and
	    the screen will appear scrambled.  This is to be expected and will 
	    occur briefly each time you start Windows 95. It will appear every 
	    time you shutdown Windows 95 as well.

	30) SunPC may hang after about 15 secs. If you do not see any screen
	    activity, reboot SunPC (by typing meta-r). SunPC will boot
	    normally at this point. 

	31) Once Windows 95 reboots, you will be asked to enter a network password
	    for Microsoft Networking.  Enter your username and password now.  If
	    you do not logon each time, you will not have access to extended 
	    drives.

	32) The installation process continues. You will be told that you hardware,
	    files and settings are being updated. This takes several minutes. You
	    will also be asked to set the date, time and time-zone.

	33) When the Add Printer Wizard window appears, hit next and select your
	    desired printer type or cancel to define none. Selecting a 
	    postscript type printer generally works better in the Solaris
	    environment.

	34) You will soon be prompted for a network password for Microsoft
	    networking. It is important that you choose a username and password
	    otherwise networking components may not be installed. This is the
	    primary cause of "net use" not working. 

	35) Once everything is complete, you have successfully installed Windows95.
	    Proceed to the "CONFIGURE SUNPC DRIVERS SECTION" section

            Please follow the instructions in the "CONFIGURE THE NEW SUNPC
	    FILE SYSTEM DRIVER" section above.

	11) When Windows restarts, the SunPC window should be running at a
	    resolution of 1024x768. You have successfully installed Windows
	    95 and all of the SunPC device drivers!

  INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL NDIS DRIVER.

	SunPC unbundled path 102924-08 shipped with a pre-released version of
	the NDIS driver.  If you choose to use this driver, these are the 
	installation procedures.  Note that these installation procedures 
	assume that you have successfully installed Windows 95.  

	While we have done some testing on the NDIS driver, we have not yet
	tested DHCP.  We would be interested in hearing your comments and
	experiences with this driver and/or DHCP by sending email to
	sunpc-comments@East.Sun.COM

	1) Open a DOS box

	2) CD to F:\drivers\win95

	3) Run the runme.bat file

		This will copy the NDIS files to the c:\sunpc\sunwndis

	4) Open Control Panel then Network folders

	5) Remove "Existing ODI Driver"

	6) Select "Add" then "Adapter" then "Have Disk"

	7) Specify c:\sunpc\sunwndis

	8) Select "SunPC Ethernet NDIS driver"

	9) Add/Configure your necessary protocols if you wish.

	10) Hit "Ok" BUT DO NOT REBOOT YET

	11) Sanity check the autoexec.bat file to make sure that Windows has
	    REM'ed out the LSL.COM and DWODI.COM.  In the event that it did not,
	    manually comment them out.

	12) Reboot Windows

	13) Configure the protocol(s) you have selected. If you are using TCP/IP,
	    you will need to obtain a seperate IP address for the SunPC host.  This
	    address needs to be entered in the TCP/IP properties section. Other
	    properties such as DNS servers, Gateways and NetMasks are site specific
	    and can be obtained from a network administrator at your site.


TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION

	Q: Why do I get error messages when I try to use "net use" command
	   from the MS-DOS prompt?

	A: No Networking installed or you did not logon when Windows started.

	Q: My screen is all corrupted and the desktop colors are wrong when
	   after Windows has finished booting, what happened?

	A: Chances are you didn't install the SunPC video driver correctly and
	   that a default video driver was used. This driver may have started in
	   a 256 color mode that the SunPC VGA controller doesn't support. Try
	   booting into safe mode and changing the display type to standard VGA, or
	   back to the SunPC 1024x768 driver.

	Q: Why does the colormap flash and the screen appear garbled while Windows
	   95 is booting?

	A: The Hardware VGA controller in the SunPC coprocessor card was designed 
	   before "VGA Mode X" was discovered.  Mode X is an undocumented method of
	   putting the VGA controller in a high speed mode which significantly
	   reduces software overhead under certain conditions.  This is almost 
	   exclusively used by DOS based game applications and has no significant
	   benefit for typical applications. Windows 95 uses this mode to display
	   its startup screen. The current SunPC harware design can not support it.

	Q: When I go into configuration manager, I see yellow exclamation points next
	   to the SunPC device drivers indicating that they are not functioning. Does
	   this mean that there is a problem with my installation?

	A: No, this is to be expected because Windows sees no Hardware associated with
	   the SunPC drivers so it flags this as a potential problem. 

MISC TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

	1) Both Meta-R and Operations->Reboot menu are hardware reset functions. They 
	   operate the same way as pressing the reset button on a PC.  Do not use these
	   reset features when Windows 95 is running. Doing so may corrupt disk files
	   and the Windows 95 registry.  You must always "Shutdown" Windows 95 from
	   the start menu before you quit or reboot SunPC.

	2) Did you know that if you hit the F8 key as soon as "Starting Windows 95"
	   appears will allow you to choose from several boot options? From these options
	   you can boot directly into MS-DOS mode or start Windows in Safe mode.

	3) Did you know that if you create an empty WIN.BAT file on your drive C:, Windows
	   will boot only to the MS-DOS prompt each time?. This allows you start Windows
	   by typing "windows\win" at a time of your choosing.

	4) Did you know that once you have successfully created a clean C: installation,
	   you can make a copy of this disk image using /opt/SUNWsunpc/bin/cphd <src> <dst>?
	   This allows you to have a backup copy of a clean installation in the event that 
	   you need to reinstall.

	5) Did you know that if you want to use TCP/IP under Windows that you need a separate
	   IP address for the SunPC host?  Not only does this IP address need to be configured
	   in Windows networking, you need to add it to the C:\SUNPC\NET.CFG (default) file.


NET USE CONFUSION

	SunPC base level support includes a DOS based filesystem redirector. This
	executable is C:\SUNPC\NET.COM and supports the "net use" command.  This
	redirector only supports DOS based shortname semantics (ie 8.3 filenames)

	The default drives are mapped in autoexec.bat:

		e:	$SUNPCHOME		(SunPC invocation directory)
		f:	$SUNPCHOME/dos6		(MS-DOS Files Directory)
		h:	$HOME			(Users Home Directory)
		r:	/			(Root filesystem)

	Windows 95 does recognize and allow these redirected drives to function. 
	However, long filenames are not available on these drives (remember, they 
	are 8.3 drives only!). There are other limitations on these "compatibility 
	mode" drives as well. So, don't use these drive mappings to install Windows
	95 software from or on.

	We have now made it possible to use Microsoft's net use command (default
	location is C:\WINDOWS\NET.EXE).  Any drive mappings created in this fashion
	have full Windows 95 native filesystem support including long filenames. The
	command line syntax of C:\WINDOWS\NET use command line is different than
	C:\SUNPC\net use because of the Windows filesystem architecture.

	After you install Windows 95, C:\WINDOWS will be in the path before C:\DOS
	so, by default, any net use command will use Microsoft net use.

NET USE SYNTAX

	To associate a drive letter with the root of your local machine, type the
	following...

		net use drive_letter: \\*\*

	To associate a drive letter with a directory...

		net use drive_letter: \\<dirname>\<subdirname> 	or...
		net use drive_letter: \\<dirname>\*

	Usage of this command requires two operands so the * is needed if you wish
	to map a drive to a unix subdirectory component that only has one element.

	Here are a few examples:

	    net use s: \\cdrom\cdrom0 (Maps S: to volume manager default CD mount point)
	    net use t: \\*\*          (Maps T: to root filesystem directory)
	    net use i: \\home\users   (Maps I: to 'users' home directory)

	If you need to map a drive directly to a unix directory which contains more 
	than 2 path elements, you will have to use Unix symbolic links. Suppose that
	you wanted to map /net/typicalmachine/files1/anydir to Z:.  You would create
	a link (as root) off your root filesystem like this:

		# ln -s /net/typicalmachine/files1/anydir /anydir

	Then, open an MS-DOS box under Windows 95 and do this:

		net use Z: \\anydir\*

	Z: now maps to /anydir which is symbolic link to the destination directory
	/net/typicalmachine/files1/anydir.

PERSISTENT DRIVE MAPPINGS

	You can not map drives in your autoexec.bat using \windows\net use command 
	because networking components are not yet running. This is a Windows 95 
	limitation.  

	All drive mappings must be created through a DOS shell (ie cant	use explorer "map
	network drive") at this time.  This presents a problem in that there is no easy way
	to map all of a users drive settings automatically.    

	The only current method of automatically mapping \windows\net use'd extended
	drives everytime is to place a batch file in the Windows startup folder. To do this,
	create a runme.bat (base filename doesn't matter) file and copied it into
	\windows\startm~1\startup. Each time windows starts, and you logon, it will execute this
	file.  You can add the \windows\net use	commands here.  The only side affect is that, by
	default, the DOS shell remains displayed after it runs.  Users can change this behavior
	in the properties menu of the DOS shell.  There is a box that you can check "Close on exit"
	which will make the window disappear after the batch file has been run.

KNOWN PROBLEMS 

    1) Wordpad can't read documents on \windows\net use'd extended drive. Please use
       notepad, winword or copy the document to the C: or D: drives. 

    2) Microsoft Schedule files should only be used on the C: or D: drives.

    3) Microsoft Schedule files can't be archived on extended drives. Use C: or D:

    4) Microsoft Windows 95 can't be installed with the "run from CD-ROM" option. Use
       any of the other options.

    5) An MS-DOS directory/copy command of a non-existent file will display a corrupt
       error message string (ie dir xyzzy if xyzzy doesn't exist)  

    6) Can't change directory (in a dos box) to a directory whose unix directory
       name ends with a dot.  (ie CD NEWSWA~1.PM.). This works under explorer.

    7) The MS-DOS prompt command "dir *." doesn't display directories only on 
       \windows\net use'd drive mappings.
      
    8) \windows\net use'd drive mappings doesn't currently support autogenerated
       shortname tails with values greater than 1.  (ie, you won't see ~2, ~3, 
       tails)

    9) Several people have reported not being able to read Windows CD's. If you suspect
       that a CD may be unreadable by SunPC, check its contents via a commandtool
       window like this:

	$ cd /cdrom/cdrom0
	$ ls -l
	./setup.exe: No such file or directory
	total 170
	-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys           45 Aug 21  1996 autorun.inf*
	dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     sys         2048 Nov 26 11:46 doc/
	-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys        11171 Nov 25 10:01 readme.txt*
	dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     sys         2048 Nov 26 11:46 setup/

      In this case, Solaris can't read the directory entry for setup.exe.  We are 
      investigating this problem internally and is not a SunPC bug.
