MORE INFORMATION
CONTENTS ========The CP0982 disk included with this Application Note contains a single file, TOOLKIT.EXE, which self-extracts to the following files:
Filename Description SETUPB.EXE Setup Toolkit files SETUPD.EXE Setup Toolkit documentation MSSETUP.HLP Help file containing most common questions about the Setup Toolkit COMPRESS.EXE File-compression utility INSTALLATION ============To install TOOLKIT.EXE, create a directory for the Setup files, such as:
c:\setuptkCopy the TOOLKIT.EXE file to this directory, move into this directory, and type:
toolkit.exeThis will give you the files listed above. Place COMPRESS.EXE in your \MSVC\BIN directory, change to the directory that you created for the Setup files, and unzip the rest of the files with the following commands:
setupb.exe -d setupd.exe -dNOTE: -d duplicates the directory structure contained in the zip file.
FILES LIST =========== ROOT DIRECTORYThe following are the files composing the Setup program and samples.
Setup Executables...\SETUP.EXE. Do not compress this file. Setup bootstrapper copies SETUP.EXE, .DLLS, include files, and _MSTEST.EXE from your floppy disk drive to a temporary directory on the local hard disk drive for execution. This prevents code-segment discarding or reloading after the original floppy disk has been swapped out. The list of files to copy is contained in the SETUP.LST file (see below). The name of the temporary directory may also be specified in the SETUP.LST file. This .EXE should not be compressed--it will be run by the enduser when installing your program. This file must be on Disk 1. ...\SETUP.LST. Do not compress this file. The bootstrapper data file contains a list of Setup files and other information to copy to the temporary directory. This file and all files listed in SETUP.LST must be on Disk 1. ...\_MSTEST.EXE. Limited run-time version of Microsoft Test for Windows. This is the .EXE that runs the Setup script (the .MST file), reads data from the .INF file, and makes calls to the MS???STF.DLL libraries. This file needs to be listed in the SETUP.LST file and must be on Disk 1. ...\_MSSETUP.EXE. This is a special MS-DOS-only program that is executed if Windows is restarted. This is used only if files marked as SYSTEM files need to be updated at Setup time and they are locked by Windows, thus preventing this operation from succeeding without restarting Windows. If you have no files marked SYSTEM in your .INF file, you do not need to ship this file; otherwise, it must be listed in the SETUP.LST file and must be on Disk 1.
Setup DLLsThese files contain the code for the routines being called in your Setup script. They are needed by _MSTEST.EXE and must be listed in the SETUP.LST file and shipped on Disk 1.
Filename Description ...\MSCOMSTF.DLL Common Library DLL ...\MSCUISTF.DLL Custom UI DLL--This should be customized using the SDK's Dialog Editor and the BLDCUI subdirectory. ...\MSDETSTF.DLL Detection Routines DLL ...\MSINSSTF.DLL Install Routines DLL ...\MSSHLSTF.DLL MS-Setup Shell Library DLL ...\MSUILSTF.DLL UI--Library DLL Associated Include FilesThese files may be included in your SETUP.MST script. If they are, they must be listed in the SETUP.LST file and shipped on Disk 1.
Filename Description ...\SETUPAPI.INC API definitions include file--Contains prototype declarations for most Setup functions (required) ...\MSDETECT.INC Detection API include file (optional, but very useful) ...\MSREGDB.INC Microsoft Windows 3.1 Registration Database Include File (optional) ...\MSSHARED.INC Microsoft Shared Application Include File (optional) Sample FilesThe following files are setup scripts and related .INF files. Only one set is necessary. These files must be listed in the SETUP.LST file and shipped on Disk 1.
Filename Description ...\SAMPLE1.MST Sample setup script for a simple installation ...\SAMPLE1.INF INF file for use with SAMPLE1.MST ...\SAMPLE2.MST Sample setup script with a complicated Options Dialog ...\SAMPLE2.INF INF file for use with SAMPLE2.MST ...\SAMPLE3.MST Sample setup script for installing shared application files ...\SAMPLE3.INF INF file for use with SAMPLE3.MST Help Files
Filename Description ...\TESTDRVR.HLP Windows Help file containing descriptions of the Statements and Intrinsic Functions supplied by Microsoft Test for Windows. (Do not ship) ...\README.WRI File containing extra information about the product and any last-minute change information. (Do not ship) THE BLDCUI SUBDIRECTORYThe following files are needed to build the MSCUISTF.DLL. Do not ship these--only ship the resulting DLL built from them.
Filename Description ...\DIALOGS.DLG The text file containing the Dialog Templates definitions used in the samples. ...\DIALOGS.H The Header file containing the Constant declarations used in the Dialogs Template definitions. ...\DIALOGS.RC The RC file used by the Resource Compiler to create the MSCUISTF.DLL. It includes DIALOGS.DLG and DIALOGS.H. ...\DIALOGS.RES A version of DIALOGS.RC that has been compiled with the Resource Compiler. This file may be loaded directly into the SDK Dialog Editor. ...\BLDVER.H Resource include file containing the Version Resource information. It gets included into DIALOGS.RC. ...\DLGPROCS.C The C-File containing the Dialog Procedure code. ...\CUI.H C-language header file that contains prototypes for the functions contained in other Microsoft Setup DLLs, used in DLGPROCS.C and described in Chapter 2 of the Microsoft Setup Toolkit manual. ...\SETUP.ICO The Setup icon file, which can be included in dialog boxes. ...\BITMAP.DIB The Microsoft Setup logo painted on the background blue screen. You can replace this with a different .DIB file, but it must be white on black. ...\MAKEFILE A makefile to build the MSCUISTF.DLL using files in this directory. It contains a setting that determines whether a debug or ship version will be built. ...\MSCUISTF.DEF DEF file for declaring library exports for the dialog procedures defined in DLGPROCS.C ...\CUISTF.LNK The ship-version link file ...\CUISTFD.LNK The debug-version link file with CodeView(R) information ...\MSCOMSTF.LIB Import libraries for APIs in CUI.H ...\MSSHLSTF.LIB Import libraries for APIs in CUI.H ...\MSUILSTF.LIB Import libraries for APIs in CUI.HTHE DISKLAY SUBDIRECTORY The following files compose the Disk-Layout utility. Do not ship these files--they are used to generate one or more disk images and associated .INF files.
Filename Description ...\DSKLAYT.EXE Disk Layout Front-End. This is a Windows and Visual Basic application that allows you to specify restrictions and attributes of the files you will ship with your product. ...\DSKLAYT2.EXE Disk-Layout Back-End. This is an MS-DOS-based application that uses the information generated by DSKLAYT.EXE and creates compressed versions of your files, with a corresponding disk image of each disk copied to differently named directory. ...\COLORLST.VBX Visual Basic run-time custom library. Required by DSKLAYT.EXE. ...\VBRUN100.DLL Visual Basic run-time library. Required by DSKLAYT.EXE. THE INTLDLL SUBDIRECTORYFiles in the INTLDLL subdirectory are needed to translate the strings in the DLL resources to localize a product for another country. Do not ship these files--they are used to generate localized versions of shipping .DLLs.
Filename Description ...\MSCOMSTF.DLL Linked version of the Common Library that has not had its resources compiled in yet. ...\MSCOMSTF.RC Uncompiled resource file for the Common Library. ...\MSDETSTF.DLL Linked version of the Detect Library that has not had its resources compiled in yet. ...\MSDETSTF.RC Uncompiled resource file for the Detect Library. ...\MSINSSTF.DLL Linked version of the Install Library that has not had its resources compiled in yet. ...\MSINSSTF.RC Uncompiled resource file for the Install Library. ...\MSSHLSTF.DLL Linked version of the Shell (Frame) Library that hasn't had its resources compiled in yet. ...\MSSHLSTF.RC Uncompiled resource file for the Shell (Frame) Library. ...\MSUILSTF.DLL Linked version of the UI Library which has not had its resources compiled in yet. ...\MSUILSTF.RC Uncompiled resource file for the UI Library. ...\GAUGE.DLG Copy Files Progress Indicator dialog template used in MSINSSTF.RC. ...\BLDVER.H Resource include file containing the Version Resource information. It gets included each resource file. This is the same file as in BLDCUI. ...\GAUGE.H Include file. ...\IDS.H Include file. ...\IDS_INST.H Include file. ...\LOGIDS.H Include file. |
