Appendix A: Installing Win32s
If you are using Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you
need to install Win32s 1.30c before installing FileMaker Pro. After
installing Win32s, you will still be able to run all the applications you
currently use. If an earlier version of Win32s is installed on your system,
you must first remove the older version.
To determine the version of Win32 that’s installed on your computer:
1. In the File Manager, click WIN32S16.DLL, located in the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
The file is highlighted.
2. Select Properties from the File menu of the File Manager.
You see the version.
Removing earlier versions of Win32s
To completely remove an earlier version of Win32s:
1. Modify the following line from the [BOOT] section in the
SYSTEM.INI.
Change DRIVERS=MMSYSTEM.DLL WINMM16.DLL
to the following: DRIVERS=MMSYSTEM.DLL
2. Remove the following line from the 386 Enhanced [386Enh] section
of the
SYSTEM.INI file:
DEVICE=<WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\WIN32S\W32S.386
where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are the locations of your WINDOWS
and
SYSTEM directories. In a normal Windows configuration the line
will read
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WIN32S\W32S.386
3. Exit and restart Windows.
4. Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>
subdirectory or from the SYSTEM directory in network installations:
W32SYS.DLL
WIN32S16.DLL
WIN32S.INI
WINMM16.DLL
