Appendix K: Adding New Versions to Existing MVS Servers
Adding new versions of PC*MILER to an existing MVS Server is a three-step process
that is very similiar to an initial installation. You first install the desktop PC*MILER
program via an Installshield setup.exe, then run a self-extracting Zip file that contains the
MVS software, and finally you add the new version to your existing Killmvs.bat,
PCMMV.ini, StartMVS.bat and Srv32.ini files.
NOTE: Starting with Version 27.0, the software that was installed by running the self-
extracting zip file is now installed automatically by the setup.exe.
Update CDs will look similiar to the following:
An MVSInst Folder containing Directions.txt, your self-extracting Zip file, any necessary
patches, and a UserGuide folder containing the latest User Guide, plus a V2xx Folder
which contains the lastest version’s Installshield Setup. Directions.txt will contain your
25-digit product key code(s) and specific installation instructions.
NOTE: Starting with V27, you will be emailed your 25-digit product key code as
custom MVS update disks are no longer being produced. There will be links within this
email to Detailed Directions and Varsity Directions text files with instructions specific to
your company’s particular MVS installation. Varsity Directions files are abbreviated
instructions for experienced MVS installers or IT professionals looking to minimize
install times.
Essentially you will be copying the 25-digit product key code from the Directions.txt file
or the email from [e-mail] and then running the Installshield Setup.exe.
After installing the base PC*MILER, run the self extracting zip file (Version 26.1 or
earlier only). Then add the new version to your configuration and batch files.
The following are examples for adding V26 to an existing MVS Server:
Killmvs.bat:
Copy/Paste a similiar entry for an existing version and edit the version number.
For example:
1. Copy ./process –k pcmsock25.exe and paste it to a new line.
2. Change the 25 to a 26.
3. Save and Exit.
PCMMV.ini:
Copy/Paste a similar entry for an existing version and edit the version number.
For example:
