afl99 setup
-----------




The updated setup.exe program now COMPLETELY REPLACES the previous installer. Therefore, the installer on the cd WILL
NOT WORK. After the cd is inserted into the drive, it will autorun the old setup program. You must quit this before continuing.
In order to test the new installer, you will have to copy the files from the cd on to the hard drive, and follow
the instructions below (and then burn a new cd if you wish):

***********************************************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT: always before running the game, delete the file devconfig.dat from the afl99 directory. If not deleted, this will
very likely cause the game to lock up before initialising the video hardware. After copying the contents of the cd to the
hard drive, the file devconfig.dat MUST BE deleted from afl99 directory.
***********************************************************************************************************************

This describes how to build the file lists & compressed setup files for the installation program setup.exe:


0) Copy the entire afl99 cd to the root of your hard drive. If you have received updated files from us, make sure they
are all manually copied into their correct directories. MAKE SURE THAT the hardware version of afl99 and the software
version are copied to \afl99 directory, and they are called afl99hw.exe & afl99sw.exe respectively.

1) locate the afl99 directory and run typical_install_list.bat & maximum_install_list.bat by double-clicking
them in windows explorer. this generates the list files typical_install_list.txt & maximum_install_list.txt
which the setup program will use to copy files. CHECK THAT maximum_install_list.txt is SMALLER than typical_install_list.txt,
and only contains files with .caa extensions.

2) run the program 'install_list.exe' in the afl99 directory by double-clicking it in windows explorer. THIS
WILL TAKE SOME TIME- as yet there is no progress indicator. After a while a small dialog box will be displayed
which imforms of having just written the list files. Click OK. This generates the files typical_install_list.install
and maximum_install_list.install.

3) open the files typical_install_list.txt & maximum_install_list.txt for editing in wordpad. the files all begin with
c:\afl99\. This text needs to be deleted on each line IN BOTH FILES.

4) run the batch file compress_install.bat by double clicking it. This executes the compression program, and you should
see a list of files displayed as they compress. This process will take some time, since there is approx. a total of
300mb of files to process. Once this process is complete the files typical_install.caz and maximum_install.caz are
writted to the hard drive in the afl99 directory.

5) run the setup.exe program. If the maximum & typical install sizes are the same, go back to step 0.



Additions
---------

17/11/98

- typical_install_list.bat & maximum_install_list.bat have changed.

- added debug code to setup (setupdebug.exe) which checks to see if you have all the files you need. To do this,
copy updated typical_install_list.install & maximum_install_list.install to your afl99 directory and run setupdebug.exe. A
message will be displayed if a file does not exist. Since this check does not check the size of each file, you can create an
empty file and name it to the file specified, the run setupdebug.exe again to find the next missing files. it takes a while
for setup to check the existence of all the files in the install lists, but if the main setup window is subsequently displayed,
then you have a complete file list for both install types.

- Also updated .txt files which show the files that I have on my machine for the install. useful as a check against your own .txt
files maybe.
