How to Install the Windows Evaluation Versions

============================================== 



1.  Create a temporary directory on the hard drive.



	C:\>md temp



2.  Change to the temporary directory.



	C:\>cd temp

	C:\temp>



3.  Download the complete evaluation version(s) (80dlabe.exe) 

    OR the 13 pieces that make up the evaluation version

    (80dlep1.exe, 80dlep2.exe, 80dlep3.exe, through 80dlep13.exe) into

    the temporary directory that was just created.



4.  Type the name(s) of the self-extracting files. 



	C:\temp>80dlabe.exe -d     (Complete Evaluation Version)



    OR



	C:\temp>80dlep1.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 1)

	C:\temp>80dlep2.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 2)

	C:\temp>80dlep3.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 3)

	C:\temp>80dlep4.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 4)

	C:\temp>80dlep5.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 5)

	C:\temp>80dlep6.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 6)

	C:\temp>80dlep7.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 7)

	C:\temp>80dlep8.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 8)

	C:\temp>80dlep9.exe -d     (Evaluation Version Part 9)

	C:\temp>80dlep10.exe -d    (Evaluation Version Part 10)

	C:\temp>80dlep11.exe -d    (Evaluation Version Part 11)

	C:\temp>80dlep12.exe -d    (Evaluation Version Part 12)

	C:\temp>80dlep13.exe -d    (Evaluation Version Part 13)





5.  To install the evaluation version, from Windows (95 or NT) run 

    the SETUP.EXE program located in the temporary directory above (or 

    from the DISK1 directory).
