Hi everybody
and thanks in advance for the help.
The Problem appears when I try to Upgrade my old Warp3 for
Win (red box) to the new Merlin (I use TCP only for the Internet
Connection, not for a LAN).
In Warp 3 I installed the IAK in the subdir E:\DFUE\TCPIP.
During the upgrade, the Merlin Install-routine installs the TCPIP in
the default-directory E:\TCPIP.
Because I didn’t like that (too many folders at the root), I
deinstalled The TCP-Apps and tried to install again with
it’s own install :\CID\IMG\TCPAPPS\INSTALL.EXE from
CD-ROM.
From that moment I had a PROBLEM:
The Install finished with no errors. All files and icons are in
place….. but ‘refuse’ to work….
All executables from the TCPIP-Folder are ‘dead’.
That means: when I double-click at the ProgramObject from the
WPS, instead to start the prog comes a splash ‘teaching’ me to
check the path bla bla bla…
When I double-click direct to the exe-file, the settings-notebook
comes up….
Later , after some (65) trials to corect the fault and after I loosed
my old WPS 
((, I observed that some classes like AdvDial, AdvUser
etc are not registered.
When I try to register ‘manualy’ this SOM-classes (with the HWI
SOM/WPS Class Browser), an error-message comes up…..
Trying to install the latest IBM-Dialer Update stops with an
fault-message that SETLOC1.DLL couldn’t be loaded.
Maybe some process blocks the entire folder and subfolders of TCPIP.
But which process????
The rest of Merlin works wonderfull. Win 3.1 is much more faster as in
Warp3 and and and… is nice …
An hardware influence i can exclude. At the same machine but in
another empty partition (drive d:), Merlin – Beta and a Try & By
version could be installed problemless.
Conclusions:
Followning actions don’t help anyway:
a. Changing the CD-ROM – set
b. Changing the Version (german-US)
c. Erasing the os2 & os2sys.ini + the old config.sys and
reinstalling Merlin
d. Installing first the OS and later MPTS and TCP-Apps.
My Sytem:
486 /133 AMD; 48 MB
PCI – buss
SCSI NCR 53810 adapter with:
– 2x HD (first: 720 MB Quantum Lightning (drives c: and d:), second:
1 GB Fujitsu (drives e:, f:, g:);
– 1xToshiba CD-ROM drive
ATI WinTurbo 2 MB graphic adapter
And here is my ‘last wish’:
Can somebody tell me how to ‘recuperate’ in Merlin my WPS-Backups
made with RoboSave under Warp3 ???
RoboSave gives error messages, saying ‘Wrong Operating System…’
