PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 21
Step 2.1
Install the base PC*MILER applications by running the setup.exe that is in the
version-specific subfolder on the Multi-Version Switch Install CD.
Install time Serial Numbers and Product Key Codes are in:
<DVD>\MVSInst\Install_Codes.txt
If at all possible, do not change the default installation location. Changing the
default installation location increases the number of configuration steps.
If you do need to install to a drive other than C:\ , installing to the same folder
structure on another drive eases the configuration steps. For example, you install
V26 to D:\ALK Technologies\Pmw260 instead of C:\ALK Technologies\
Pmw260.
Note: Versions 23.x and 24.x had to have a parent directory of “Program Files
(x86)”.
You do not need to reboot the PC as directed during some installations. For
Versions 16.0 to 26.1 you do not have to activate the license as prompted during
some installations unless your Install_Codes.txt or Directions.txt file specifically
tells you to activate.
Starting with Version 27.0 you have to activate your installation.
If prompted for an Installation Type, always choose ‘Single PC Typical’ – do not
attempt a ‘Shared Single User’ Installation.
Step 2.2
Installation of Version-Specific Self-Extracting Zip Files:
All self-extracting Zip files are contained in your <DVD>\MVSInst folder.
For Versions 14.0 to 26.1 there is one self-extracting Zip file per version. For
example, V22MVS.exe is for use with Version 22.0 or Version 22.1 and the
extraction location is set for C:\Program Files\ALK Technologies\Pmw220. If
you have non-default location installations of the base PC*MILER you must be
certain that you are redirecting the extraction to the top level of the PC*MILER
installation. The top level is marked by the presence of an‘NA’ folder or a
‘World’ folder for Worldwide versions.
Starting with Version 27.0 this software is automatically installed by the
setup.exe.
