To set up the Messages database from the compact disc

  1. Start Windows NT.

    If you want to share the Messages database with other users, be sure to log on as the Administrator before installing the database.

  2. Insert the Windows NT Resource Kit compact disc in the CD-ROM drive.
  3. In Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

    The Run dialog box appears.

  4. Type CD-ROM drive letter:\winntmsg\setup in the Command Line box.
  5. Choose the OK button.
  6. Follow the instructions on screen to complete Setup.

    If you want to share the Messages database with other users, specify a path to a network server when Setup asks where you want to install it.

    When it asks if you want to join an existing workgroup, choose the No button unless you have already set one up on the network. You can use the Change WorkGroup icon to do that later.

After installing the files you need, the Setup program creates a Microsoft Windows NT Messages program group and puts the following icons in the program group: Microsoft Windows NT Messages, Compact Database, Change WorkGroup, and Readme.

Note If you have installed the Messages database on a Windows NT file system (NTFS) partition, use the File Manager Security menu to ensure that all users have Change (RWXD) permission for the directory and its contents.
