CS ChemOffice (R) version 4.

5
For Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT
� 1997, CambridgeSoft Corporation

October 1, 1997

This README file describes additions, changes, and known bugs

not mentioned in the documentation.

We recommend that you uninstall or delete any previous versions

of ChemDraw before installing. If you have any personal stationery
or templates you wish to add to the new version, please be sure to
copy your CD_Items directory to a temporary location prior to
uninstalling. If your previous version of ChemDraw has an
Uninstaller, run the uninstaller to remove the previous version.
If your previous version of ChemDraw does not have an Uninstaller
(some older versions did not have this feature), delete the entire
ChemDraw directory.

Please note, there is no need to install ChemOffice NET unless it

is to evaluate new features. If you wish to install the NET version,
we suggest installing to a different location, so that nothing will be
overwritten. Also note that the version of ChemDraw with the latest
creation date will be the default version that launches when opening
a file. Therefore we suggest uninstalling the NET version after evaluating it.

WINDOWS NT 4.0 USERS

--------------------

ODBC Installation:

ChemFinder requires the installation of ODBC drivers. There are two

possible installation scenarios depending on whether or not another
program has installed ODBC previously. If you currently have ODBC
installed, you will see a welcome dialog which will have the following buttons
"Add/Remove", "Reinstall", and "Remove All". If not, then this is the
first time this version of the ODBC drivers has been installed. In this
case follow the instructions below for "First Time", otherwise follow the
instructions for "Previously Installed".

First Time
- In the welcome dialog, press "Continue".
- You may change the path of where files are installed if you want. Then
press "OK".
- Press the "Complete\Custom Install" button.
- The next screen has a listbox with two entries. Click in the checkbox for
the first one "Data Access Drivers".
- Press "Continue". The proper ODBC drivers and support files will be
installed.
- Click "OK" to return to the ChemOffice installer, and complete the
installation.

Previously Installed
- Click the "Add/Remove" button.
- The next screen has a listbox with two entries. The first, which is labeled
"Data Access Drivers" should be checked.
- If the check in the checkbox is black, press "Continue".
- If the check in the checkbox is grey, then press "Change Option" to look at
exactly what data access drivers were previously installed.
- Make sure the list item "Microsoft Access Driver" is check because this
driver is the minimal driver required for proper functioning of ChemFinder,
and also check any other drivers which you wished installed. If it already
has a checkbox next to an item, its already installed. Unchecking a box will
result in that driver being uninstalled.
- Press "OK" to return to the previous dialog.
- Press "Continue" to begin to install/remove any changes you might have made.
- Click "OK" to return to the ChemOffice installer, and complete the
installation.

INSTALL NOTES
-------------

Before running the installer, make sure you have a directory

for temporary files. This should have at least 1MB of free
space, must be writable, and must be indicated by an
environment variable called TEMP. (Normally this is set up by
Windows. To verify the location of your TEMP directory, type
SET at the MS-DOS prompt.)

If you are installing Win32s, you will be prompted to insert

disk 1 before restarting Windows. This happens even if you
are installing from disk images. Just check that the offered
path is correct, and click OK.

If the installer needs to restart Windows, on some systems it

may exit Windows but not restart it, leaving you at a DOS prompt.
Type "win" to proceed.

Known problems with the ChemOffice installer:

Some installation problems are due to programs running in the

background. Please quit all applications and close control panels
before running the installer. (i.e. virus protection, memory management
software, screen savers, etc.)

Installation on Windows 3.1 may require Windows to restart.

In some cases there will be a problem restarting the installer
when Windows returns. If this happens run setup.exe from Disk1
again. If this doesn't help, try the following procedure:

1.From the File Manager, go into your Windows directory.

2.Make a backup copy of your win.ini, and call it win.old.
3.Open your win.ini in a text editor like Notepad.
4.In the [Windows] section, there should be a "run=" line. Something like:

run=D:\ChemDraw\Disk1\setup.ins

Remove this entire 'run' line.

5.In the [Extensions] section there should be an "ins=" line. Something like:

ins=D:\ChemDraw\Disk1\setup.exe -f32s

Remove this entire 'ins=' line, too.

6.Save the win.ini.
7.Now reinstall the software, but this time type:

D:\setup.exe -f32s

at the Run line (where D is the cd-rom drive).

This procedure will bypass the installation of Win32s and start the ChemDraw
installer.

The installer will create a file with a name like "DeIsL1.isu"

in your ChemOffice directory. Do not delete or move this file!
It is needed by the uninstaller.

The uninstaller does not uninstall Win32s. It uninstalls all

of ChemOffice, except: (a) if you install over a previous
version, no pre-existing directories will be removed; (b) if
you run ChemDraw before uninstalling, the template files
created upon program startup will not be uninstalled.

The installer may leave some extraneous files in your TEMP

directory, including several with the extension "._MP".
These can (and should) be deleted. In fact, it is a good idea
to delete the entire contents of your TEMP directory from time
to time.
