281402 -
281403 - Wayne was successful using Driveworks. ref SDS 0 6H5J Gary clarified
281404 - creating logical drives, and this was accomplished, so that Wayne's
281405 - computer was configured to run the SDS development code. ref SDS 0
281406 - Y34M SDS was placed on the web; Wayne had downloaded and was ready
281407 - for installation during a call this evening. ref SDS 0 H26K There
281408 - were some snafus getting pkzip installed, ref SDS 0 H274; developed a
281409 - work around. ref SDS 0 Y17O The next day experimenting disclosed
281410 - conflicts in Pkware and Microsoft code. ref SDS 0 4S69 Got input from
281411 - Pkware. ref SDS 0 0U3P That experience, yielded instructions for
281412 - installing pkzkp. ref SDS 0 FF4I Applications for SDS, Medit and DOS
281413 - require nine (9) steps. ref SDS 0 XT7O Customized the Group Manager
281414 - for Wayne. ref SDS 0 UK8I Launched SDS and the program ran normally,
281415 - after moving diary files from c: to the new logical drives,
281416 - ref SDS 0 6I4L The Schedule extended automatically from the last time
281417 - Wayne used SDS several years ago. ref SDS 0 XT40 Wayne created a new
281418 - record in the Schedule and performed a few tasks for reporting
281419 - progress on the work today. He recalled the general steps and so the
281420 - work seemed familiar. ref SDS 0 H255 SDS is back in business for

281802 -
281803 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Wayne responding to the letter yesterday
281804 - on configuring his system to install SDS. ref SDS 28 VM4I
281806 - ..
281807 - Wayne says...
281808 -
281809 - 1. I tried the two disk option last night and got the disk
281810 - reseized. I booted up XP and created an extended partition and
281811 - started creating logical drives. I noticed that it started
281812 - creating logical drives with G. I have two DVD/CD drives and
281813 - one flash drive that presently occupy Drive designations D, E,
281814 - and F. ref DRT 1 0001
281816 - ..
281817 - Two disk option was suggested by Gary on 040419, ref SDS 27 RL45, and
281818 - mentioned via a link in a letter yesterday. ref SDS 28 VM4I
281820 - ..
281821 - Wayne continues....
281822 -
281823 - 2. In order for for SDS to work correctly, do I have to have C, D,
281824 - E, F, G, H, (and possibly I) logical drives on the hard drive,
281825 - or will it also work with G, H, I , J, K, L, and M? In other
281826 - words, do I have to redesignate the DVD and flash drives to be,
281827 - e.g. J, K and L? Do I do the that first or after I have
281828 - created six logical drives in the extended partition, or does
281829 - it matter? ref DRT 1 UU6G
281831 - ..
281832 - 3. Any thoughts?

282202 -
282203 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 dated today; a copy of a letter responding to
282204 - Wayne's request for guidance on applying Windows XP to assign logical
282205 - drives on his new computer, per above. ref SDS 0 MT6R
282207 - ..
282208 - Gary says...
282209 -
282210 - 1. You do need drives C - H to be hard drive partitions, as SDS
282211 - uses them. ref DRT 2 0001
282213 - ..
282214 - 2. It shouldn't matter whether you change letters before or after
282215 - creating logical drives. Moving the CD / DVD first is probably
282216 - simpler, but you should be able to rearrange drive letters any
282217 - time. It may mean having to move the CD / DVD drives to a high
282218 - series, move the logical drives into the freed letters, and
282219 - then move the CD / DVD to the end again (or just leave them if
282220 - you wish).
282222 - ..

SDS Software Development Code Submitted and Installed by Wayne on Hi

3004 - 2002
300501 - ..
300502 - SDS Software Code Received and Installed SDS Configured
300503 -
300504 - Called Wayne.
300505 -
300506 - He had already downloaded SDS zip files to...
300507 -
300508 - c: sd 10
300510 - ..
300511 - They do not have DSL or cable Internet service at his location. He
300512 - has a fast dial up system, but it still took several hours to download
300513 - the 19MB of installation files.
300515 - ..
300516 - Wayne created a temporary directory...
300517 -
300518 - c: 09
300519 -
300520 - ...and moved the SDS installation zip files into the new directory.
300522 - ..
300523 - Temporary Directories...
300525 - ..
300526 - At a convenient time, Wayne should consider creating more temp
300527 - directories...
300528 -
300529 - c: 10
300530 - c: 11
300531 - c: 12
300533 - ..
300534 - The directory c: sd 10 is a convenient place for temporary files
300535 - that are used immediately. Examples are...
300536 -
300537 - a. SDS generates a lot of temporary files for managing
300538 - virtual memory in connection with reports and using the
300539 - Subject Index. These files are created and deleted by the
300540 - system and placing them in c: sd 10 is a convenient way to
300541 - accomplish this requirement.
300543 - ..
300544 - b. When receiving and issuing documents with email, the
300545 - file...
300546 -
300547 - c: sd 10 x.txt
300548 -
300549 - ...has been identified as a default temporary filename.
300551 - ..
300552 - Occasionally, other needs to store a file, or an entire directory,
300553 - as we did this evening, per above, ref SDS 0 H29W, for a short time
300554 - while inspecting to decide where to put something, or to decide
300555 - that temporary files are not actually needed. Multiple temporary
300556 - directories provide a simple way to separate things for a short
300557 - while until disposition can be determined and implemented.
300559 - ..
300560 - Generally, files in sd 10 and the other temporary directories,
300561 - ref SDS 0 4R9N, should be emptied, or at least kept to a level
300562 - where there is understanding of content. When routine inspection
300563 - and maintenance is not performed, then the list of files becomes
300564 - unmanageable. The work to investigate seems prospectively like it
300565 - would take too long, and there is fear of deleting something that
300566 - might later turn to be needed, so the a synergy builds to keep
300567 - everything with the result that the list becomes entirely known.

350402 - Pkzip Failed to Install Used Prior Version
350403 -
350404 - Wayne still had the older version of SDS on his computer, including a
350405 - prior version of Pkzip, which does not require a Windows installation
350406 - operation nor a product key to run.
350407 -
350408 - Need to investigate how pkzip was installed for John Deneen on
350409 - 030102. That record simply says Pkzip needs a serial number to
350410 - run, which was obtained from the record purchasing Pkzip on 020903.
350411 - ref SDS 9 MC3F There is nothing else reported about problems
350412 - installing Pkzip on multiple systems. ref SDS 12 C34M
350414 - ..
350415 - Did a search for installing Pkzip, and it lists...
350417 - ..
350418 - The record on 020903 says that Pkzip has to be installed on each
350419 - computer so that the Windows registry is posted. ref SDS 9 K89G
350421 - ..
350422 - Pkzip has been installed on c11, c12 and c13, reported on 020903
350423 - saying to run...
350424 -
350425 - g: 00 pkzs setup.exe

350427 - ...for installation on each computer, and there is no record of the
350428 - problem Wayne encountered this evening. ref SDS 9 IZ60
350430 - ..
350431 - Installation on c12 and c13 is reported the next day on 020904 and
350432 - seems to indicate it can be accomplished by copying the
350433 - installation files Wayne is using today. ref SDS 10 0001
350435 - ..
350436 - Will do an experiment...
350437 -
350438 - 1. On computer c11 will remove Pkzip...
350439 -
350440 - Turns out there are three (3) parts of pkzip installed, so
350441 - removed all three...

350443 - a. Command Line
350444 - b. Windows
350445 - c. Shared Components
350447 - ..

350479 - did a Windows op to remove the program. ref SDS 0 8L89
350481 - ..
350482 - The next day, called Rob at Pkware who make and sell Pkzip,
350483 - per phone number in the record on 020903. ref SDS 9 IZ41
350485 - ..
350486 - Rob explained that sometimes the Pkzip setup.exe program
350487 - and/or the Windows Add/Remove programs system do not run
350488 - correctly. Rob initially suggested removing all the checks
350489 - in the Pkzip setup window and continuing with the
350490 - Installation process by clicking "Next" and this will have
350491 - the effect of removing whatever the setup.exe program is
350492 - seeing that causes a report that Pkzip is installed after
350493 - having removed it with Microsoft Add/Remove programs.
350494 - After completing the Installation op to attempt ensuring
350495 - Pkzip was fully removed, we ran setup.exe again, and got
350496 - same result saying Pkzip was still installed. ref SDS 0
350497 - 4S4G Rob noticed we are in a loop.
350499 - ..
350500 - This is along the lines of the scenario in Typical Day Scenario
350501 - talking to Microsoft. ref OF 9 3120
350503 - ..
350504 - Rob said there is another way to install Pkzip for each
350505 - feature. We tried this and that and eventually got the
350506 - Command Line version installed. I then removed it and
350507 - tried the following instructions without Rob's support...
350508 -
350509 - 1. In the Pkzip installation directory...
350510 -

400540 - Rob advised that Windows saves the product key in
400541 - the registry to manage a use case where a customer
400542 - gets a 30 day trial. The product key storage
400543 - feature in the Windows registry prevents a customer
400544 - from removing the trial version at the end of 30
400545 - days and then installing the trial version again,
400546 - rather than purchasing the product. Evidently,
400547 - product keys are assigned with a code that can be

400649 - The Welch Management Method, cited by Morris on

400667 - menu with Programs and selecting Pkzip then
400668 - selecting Properties and selecting the Target

400726 - set will be installed and that the directory where
400727 - the pkzip program is installed, which is set
400728 - further below, will not be added to the system
400729 - path. The pkzip directory is not needed as part of
400730 - the system path, because after installation is
400731 - completed the actual executables, created by the
400732 - installation operation, will be moved from the
400733 - pkzip directory into c: sd 01, and this directory
400734 - is set as part the system path by the SDS program
400735 - launch operation.

540513 - We opened contacts and entered Welch company, because we knew that
540514 - contact record would be in Wayne's system, based on prior work and
540515 - because contacts were not included with this installation in order to
540516 - avoid overwriting any which Wayne may have created. Wayne reported
540517 - this worked as he remembered. We also entered a contact for his prior
540518 - assignment at DNRC.
540520 - ..
540521 - Since Wayne is no longer at DNRC he deleted those lines in the
540522 - contact in the Contact field. He recalled how to use Alt F8 to
540523 - delete one line at a time, and use Alt F7 twice for a block delete.
