A.  BEFORE YOU RUN THE CC:MAIL FOR WINDOWS INSTALL PROGRAM


1.  Making Install Efficient
----------------------------

To maximize the efficiency of the installation process, run the 
DOS command CHKDSK /F on the drive where you plan to install 
cc:Mail. This reclaims lost clusters on the drive (you do not 
have to convert the lost clusters to files). Run CHKDSK before 
you run Install, and close Windows beforehand.  


2.  Installing in a WIN-OS/2 Session
------------------------------------

To install cc:Mail in a WIN-OS/2 session, set the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT 
to at least 8 MB for the session so that memory problems do not occur.

The following procedure is one way to accomplish this.

1.  Click the WIN-OS/2 icon on the OS/2 desktop with the right mouse
    button to display the menu.
2.  Click the arrow to the right of the Open menu choice.
3.  Click Settings.
4.  In the settings notebook for WIN-OS/2, click the Session tab.
5.  Click the WIN-OS/2 button.
6.  Click the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT setting on the left side of the dialog
    box.
7.  Change the corresponding value on the right side of the screen to 
    be at least 8 MB.
8.  Click the Save button.
9.  Double-click the upper left-hand corner of the notebook window
    to close it and return to the OS/2 desktop.


3.  Using Automated Install
---------------------------

Automated Install is a feature that allows users to run the Lotus
Install program without the user interface. This feature is useful 
for system administrators who manage installations for large groups 
of users with uniform computer configurations. cc:Mail administrators 
use this feature by filling in the fields in a response file 
(INSTALL.RSP), and then distributing that file to end users. The 
information in the response file provides input to the Install program
automatically, so that users don't need to supply the information 
themselves.

CAUTION: Only cc:Mail administrators should edit the response file. 
Individual users should use the response file provided by their 
cc:Mail administrator as is.

Refer to the "Lotus cc:Mail Release 8 Planning and Installation 
Guide" for an explanation of the install options (Standalone Install, 
Server Install, Distribution Install, and Node Install).
 
Following is a general procedure for using Automated Install.  
Read the comments in the response file for full instructions.

   1. Make a copy of the response file. (Go to the DOS prompt and
      change to the directory containing the response file, 
      INSTALL.RSP. Then type COPY INSTALL.RSP ORIGINAL.RSP and press
      ENTER.)
	Tip System administrators decide the name of the response file. 
        They can name the file based on the type of installation 
        it is, for example, stand.rsp and node.rsp.
   2. Fill in each field in the response file (INSTALL.RSP) using a
      text editor. 
   3. Save the file.
   4. Test the response file by performing several Node installations
      that use this file as input (see step 4). 
   5. Distribute the response file to users, along with instructions 
      on how to perform an installation. Users should choose 
      File - Run from the Windows Program Manager and type the 
      following command:

      <path>\install /A <ResponseFilePath> [/U [UserName]]

   For example: 
      X:\CCMAIL\INSTALL /A X:\CCMAIL\INSTALL.RSP 

Read the documentation in the response file for a full description 
of the command line.


4.  Using the Correct LotusScript DLLs for cc:Mail Forms
--------------------------------------------------------

You must use the correct LotusScript DLLs so that your computer does
not hang after you perform a node installation and open a form or form 
template.

The correct LotusScript DLLs are the following files:

Name		Size in bytes
LSCONST  LSS         4,951 
LSERR    LSS        10,318 
LSEW30EN DLL        17,792 
LSKW30EN DLL        18,896 
LSLW30EN HLP       681,732 
LTEDW10  DLL        72,928 
LTLRW10  DLL        45,840 
LTSCSD10 TLB       822,912 
LTSCSW10 DLL        80,624 
LTSIW30  DLL       491,968 
LTSP30   LSL       323,408 
LTSPW30  DLL       308,416 
LTSSW30  DLL        84,832 
LTSUW30  DLL       305,392 

If you have other versions of these files, delete them. 
When you run cc:Mail Release 6.03 Install, the correct   
LotusScript DLLs are installed.

If you switch between local and network installations, make sure that
both the Common Directory (local) and the Net Common Directory specified
in LOTUS.INI have these LotusScript DLLs.


5.  Using the Current Lotus ODBC Driver DLLs for Organizer
----------------------------------------------------------

Organizer requires the following four Lotus ODBC driver DLLs 
with 1995 dates:
Name		Date		Size in bytes

* LOBAS06.DLL	6/15/95		162,240
* LOUTL06.DLL	6/15/95		148,592
* LOTXT06.DLL	6/20/95		91,408
* LOFLT06.DLL	6/15/95		202,400


There are two sets of these DLLs with the same version number. cc:Mail 
Release 6.03 Install examines the version number and does not overwrite 
one set with the other. The only way to distinguish the current files 
from the original files is to look at each file's date and size. 

If you have the earlier version of these files (dated 1994), 
delete them. Using the earlier version of these files prevents
Organizer from exporting data or accessing databases.

After deleting the earlier version of these files, you can run 
cc:Mail Release 6.03 Install, which installs the current version of 
these four files.


B.  DURING CC:MAIL INSTALLATION

6.  Installing on Computers With Multiple Configurations
--------------------------------------------------------

The Install program may offer to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, 
(adding a line to load the SHARE utility and updating the PATH 
statement). If you choose Yes, Install will modify only the first
path statement it encounters.  If you use a release of DOS that 
supports multiple configurations and your AUTOEXEC.BAT file 
contains multiple path statements for multiple start-up configurations,
Install may not modify the correct path. A similar problem might occur
if you have a dual-boot setup.

After you install cc:Mail, examine the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to verify that 
Install modified the correct path statement.


7.  Ignoring a Size Field
-------------------------

The Customize dialog box has a list box that includes a size field. 
That field shows the default size of an application.  If you customize
an application and delete features, the dialog box does not update 
the size field, even though the application now requires less disk 
space.

8.  Selecting a Server Installation to Enable Organizer Group Scheduling
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To enable the group scheduling feature for Lotus Organizer, 
you must manually run a Server installation. You cannot perform
a Server installation using the INSTALL.RSP file because the group
scheduling feature in Organizer is not added.
 
 Follow these steps to enable group scheduling for Organizer: 

	1. Open the Lotus cc:Mail 6.03 Install Program.
	2. Click the Install on a file server option.
	3. Click Next button.
	4. Under the Server Install or Network Distribution screen,
	   click Server Install.
	5. Click Next button.
	6. Under Select Lotus cc:Mail Applications screen, select all
	   options.
	7. Click Next button.
	8. Under the Install Option screen, select All Features-
	   Automatic Install.
      
The Install program will complete and add the Organizer with group
scheduling to the Server. Then end users can run a Node installation,
which can be an automated install using the INSTALL.RSP file or a 
manual Node installation. Organizer with group scheduling will be
installed on their computers.

In previous versions, you were required to perform a custom Server
installation for this procedure.
 
C.  AFTER CC:MAIL INSTALLATION

9.  Reading Individual Application README Files
-----------------------------------------------

After you install cc:Mail, you can review the README files of the 
individual applications for more information.  The README files 
reside in each application's directory (for example, 
C:\LOTAPPS\CCMAIL\README.TXT).


10.  Updating SMARTCTR.INI
--------------------------

If you reinstall a Lotus application but place it in a different 
location, the LOTUS.INI file is updated to reflect the change
but the SMARTCTR.INI file is not. SmartCenter can no longer find 
the reinstalled application on its icon palette.

For example, if you had Ami Pro on the C: drive, and then
reinstalled it onto the D: drive, SmartCenter would not find Ami Pro.

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. If SmartCenter was not running when you changed the location 
   of the application, start SmartCenter.  
2. Click the SmartCenter menu icon.  
3. Choose SmartCenter Properties.  
4. Select the application you want to change from the SmartCenter 
   applications list box, then click Change. 
5. Enter the new command line path and working directory for the 
   application, and make sure the Icon palette box is checked.
6. Click OK.
7. Close the SmartCenter Properties InfoBox.


11.  Creating Your Own Bitmaps
------------------------------

You can create your own bitmaps for the SmartCenter icon palette.  
SmartCenter can use a bitmap of any size, and if you use a square
bitmap, SmartCenter will not alter the aspect ratio.

Do not add a 3D beveled edge to your bitmap, because SmartCenter 
automatically adds a 3D edge when it places the bitmap on the 
icon palette.
