 Contents  Previous  Next

 

Installing from CD

To install or reinstall Boxer, locate your Boxer CD and place it into your CD drive.  Ordinarily, the setup program will run automatically and you will be guided through the quick installation.  If the setup program does not run automatically, do the following: from the Start Menu, choose Run, and then type J:\Setup.exe, where 'J' represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-screen instructions which are presented by the setup program.

 

Installing from a Downloaded File

To install or reinstall Boxer, execute the file which was downloaded in order to run Boxer's setup program.  Follow the on-screen instructions which are presented by the setup program.

 

Installing from Diskette

To install or reinstall Boxer, locate your Boxer diskette and place Disk 1 into your floppy drive.  From the Start Menu, choose Run, and then type A:\Setup.exe.  Follow the on-screen instructions which are presented by the setup program.  When prompted, insert Disk 2 into the floppy drive.

 

Reinstalling atop a Previous Version

If you are reinstalling, Boxer's setup program will automatically sense the existing installation and suggest the directory in which Boxer is installed as the location for the new installation.  Unless you have a compelling reason not to do so, you should accept this location.

 

•Boxer will not overwrite any data files you may have created in its home directory, or anywhere else.

       

•Boxer will not overwrite the User List files from a prior installation, since you may have created custom lists.

 

•Boxer will not overwrite the Auto-Complete dictionary file AC_words.txt, since you might have edited it.

       

•Boxer will not overwrite the Template.ini file, since you may have defined custom Templates.

       

•Boxer will not overwrite the Syntax Highlighting information file named Syntax.ini, since you may have added new language information to it.  Boxer will install a new copy of Syntax.ini using the name New Syntax.ini, so that you will have access to any new language information which may have been added since your version was released.  In this case you will need to manually copy the new information from New Syntax.ini into Syntax.ini so that your custom additions in Syntax.ini will be preserved.
