  BEFORE INSTALLING POWERBUILDER

  1.  IMPORTANT:  If Microsoft Windows is installed in a write-protected network 
       directory, a person with write privileges to the Windows directory must install 
       this product.

  2.  Review the Product Release Notes, if any, for special instructions pertaining to
       the installation of this product.

  3.  Be sure that no Powersoft products or the Watcom SQL engine are running.

  4.  During installation you may not be prompted for every diskette in the set.
       Which diskettes you will be prompted for depends on the options you select.


  TO INSTALL POWERBUILDER

  1.  Insert the diskette labeled "Disk 1 of 10" into the floppy drive of your computer.

  2.  Run the SETUP program on the diskette.  You can do this in one of three ways.
       (This example uses Drive A, however, your floppy drive may be a different letter.)

           *  From the DOS prompt, type:  WIN A:\SETUP
           *  From Windows Program Manager, choose File/Run and type:  A:\SETUP
           *  From Windows File Manager, double-click on the SETUP.EXE file on Drive A.

  3.  Below is a brief description of what is installed when you make your selections:

           *  PowerBuilder Enterprise Edition:  Includes all files necessary to run the
               Powersoft PowerBuilder development environment.  When installing this
               selection, the PowerBuilder ODBC Database driver and initialization file,
               PBODB040.DLL and PBODB040.INI, are installed in the PowerBuilder
               directory.
           *  Sample Application:  Files that provide a collection of examples which 
               demonstrate PowerBuilder features.  Although this is optional, we
               recommend that you install it.
           *  PowerBuilder Sample Database:  Installs the PowerBuilder Demo Database
               and Database Log files.  This is a prerequisite when installing the Sample
               Application.
           *  WATCOM SQL:  Installs files to run WATCOM SQL 4.0 in the PowerBuilder
               environment.  This option is required when installing the Sample
               Application.
           *  Open Database Connectivity Drivers:  Based on your selections, the
               appropriate vendor ODBC drivers are installed in your Windows system
               subdirectory (for example, c:\windows\system).
           *  Powersoft PVCS Version Control Interface: Installs the files necessary
               to allow for Source Code management between PowerBuilder and PVCS.

  4.  The installation procedure will prompt you:

           *  When the procedure needs the next diskette or more information, or when
               it requires a decision to change or replace files.  Respond to the prompts
               and select options as appropriate.

           *  When the procedure finds existing Powersoft initialization (*.INI) files in
               the target directory or newer versions of ODBC drivers in your Windows
               system subdirectory, such as ODBC.DLL and ODBCINST.DLL.  If you are
               unsure as to how to proceed, we suggest that you consult your system
               administrator for direction.
   
           *  When the procedure is ready to update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  You can
               choose to let the installation procedure change the existing file, create a
               new file for you, or proceed without making any file changes.

           *  When the procedure is ready to add the PowerBuilder and WATCOM
               program items to a Program Manager group.  You can choose to let the
               installation procedure create the Program Group and add the Program
               Items.  To familiarize yourself with the Program Items, we strongly
               recommend that you allow this installation procedure to create the
               Program Group, and delete any unnecessary Program Items afterwards.

  5.  Exit to DOS and verify that the Powersoft directory(s) is included in your DOS
       PATH command and that your PATH command does not exceed 128 characters.
       This will happen automatically if you let the installation procedure update your
       AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the previous step.

  6.  Re-boot your PC and start Windows.
