- SECTION -1- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Before installing BC++ 4.0 please review the minimum
- system requirements listed below:
- A) Minimum Installation
- 4 MB Extended Memory
- Intel 386 or higher
- DOS 4.01 or later
- Windows 3.1 or later
- approximately 20 MB hard disk space
- 3.5" High Density Disk Drive or CD ROM Drive
- B) Full Installation (16-bit/32-bit capability):
- 8 MB system memory
- Intel 386 or higher
- DOS 4.01 or later
- Windows 3.1 or later
- Win32s (included in BC++ 4.0)
- approximately 80 MB hard disk space
- 3.5" High Density Disk Drive or CD ROM Drive
- NOTE: On a compressed hard disk the installation process
- might need additional hard disk space. If you are using
- a disk compression utility, refer to Section 2, part A.
- SECTION -2- INSTALLING BC++ 4.0
- A) Pre-Installation Notes
- 1) Backup Disks:
- If you wish to make backup copies of your original disks
- use the DOS DISKCOPY command. You must use the same disk
- size and media (density) when you make your backup set of
- disks. Attempting to copy from 3.5" to 5.25" will cause
- the install program to fail. If you have a bad disk
- contact Borland's Disk Replacement line at (800) 621-3132.
- 2) Disk Compression:
- If you are using a disk compression utility (such as
- Stacker[tm], DoubleSpace[tm], XtraDrive[tm],
- SuperStor[tm], etc.) the estimated available hard disk
- space reported might not be sufficient to install the
- product. During installation, BC++ 4.0 copies compressed
- files onto your hard disk. Disk compression utilities
- report available hard disk space assuming that the files
- copied onto the disk can be compressed. Since the files
- that are copied by the installation program are already
- compressed, the disk compression utility cannot compress
- them any further. To solve this, you might need to free
- additional hard disk space for the installation.
- 3) Upgrading:
- If you will be using OWL 1 or Turbo Vision, you must keep
- the source code for ClassLib, TV, and OWL 1 on your computer
- so that you can rebuild them with BC++ 4.0. Delete the
- remainder of your previous version of BC++.
- 4) Network Installaion:
- If you are installing BC++ 4.0 on a network, you may wish
- to consult Technical Information Document number 1738. For
- information on how to receive this document, refer to
- Section 10.
- 5) Compatibility Issues:
- -Norton Desktop For Windows (NDW)
- If you have Norton Desktop running on your system and
- have the Auto Arrange Icons option turned off,
- the BC++ 4.0 program icons may appear to be on top
- of each other once the installation process is
- complete. Either turn on Auto Arrange (Configure |
- Quick Access | Auto Arrange) before installing or simply
- click Window | Arrange Group Icons to arrange the new
- icons within the Borland C++ 4.0 window. (Make sure the
- Borland C++ 4.0 window is highlighted when you choose
- Arrange Group Icons.)
- B) Installation Instructions:
- 1. Boot Clean
- It is highly recommended that you boot clean before
- installing BC++ 4.0. Booting your system with a clean
- configuration will eliminate any potential software
- conflicts that might arise during installation. Refer to
- Section 11 for instructions on how to boot clean.
- 2. Insert the BC++ 4.0 installation disk into drive A or B.
- 3. From the DOS prompt type WIN A:INSTALL (or WIN B:INSTALL)
- and press ENTER. From Windows choose File|Run from
- the Program Manager and type: A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL).
- 4. Select installation options from the install menu for
- Destination and Configuration File directories.
- "Borland C++ Destination Directory" is the directory
- where BC++ 4.0 will be installed.
- "Borland C++ Configuration File Directory" is where the
- BC++ 4.0 configuration files will be installed.
- "Windows Directory" is the directory where Windows is
- located. This path cannot be edited.
- The "Install Win32s" option will install WIN32s. Refer to
- Section 3 for more information.
- The "Create Borland C++ Group" option will create a
- program group in Windows with the BC++ 4.0 icons. Refer
- to Section 8 for more information.
- The "LAN Windows Configuration" option This option must
- be used when you run Windows from a network or plan to
- install BC++ 4.0 to a network. Refer to Section 9 for
- more information.
- The "Customize Installation" button lets you customize
- the installation of BC++ 4.0.

- during installation, note any error messages and refer to
- Section 5.
- C) After Installation:
- 1. After the install has completed, the README file appears.
- The README file contains important information about
- configuring and using BC++ 4.0, including late changes
- which might have occurred after the manuals were printed.
- 2. The option to install Win32s extensions to Windows 3.1
- is provided by Microsoft for 32-bit applications. Refer
- to Section 4 for more information.
- 3. Exit Windows and modify your CONFIG.SYS so that files
- and buffers are set to at least 40. Example:
- FILES=40
- BUFFERS=40
- BC++ 4.0 automatically modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- by adding to your path statement the BC++ 4.0 bin
- directory. Example:
- PATH C:BC4BIN;C:;C:DOS;C:WINDOWS
- 4. To launch the Integrated Development Environment (IDE),

- SECTION -4- WIN32s INSTALL ISSUES
- A) An Explanation of Win32s
- Win32s is a subset of Windows NT. It lets 32-bit
- programs run under Windows 3.1 (16-bit) by simulating a
- 32-bit operating system. If you are using Windows 3.1,
- these extensions (provided by Microsoft) are required to
- run 32-bit applications created with BCW. Note that
- you need a minimum of 8 MB of memory to run Win32s. If
- you plan to create 32-bit applications, you must install
- these extensions. If you are unsure, and you have 8 MB of
- memory, install Win32s. The Win32s extensions don't
- affect the normal operation of Windows 3.1.
- B) Adding Win32s to your system
- If you haven't installed BC++ 4.0 yet, make sure you
- check the "Install WIN32s" install option.
- If you already installed BC++ 4.0 without Win32s on
- your system, insert disk 1 in your A: drive. Run Windows
- and then choose File/Run/a:setup.
- C) Removing Win32s from your system
- To remove Win32s from your system refer to Section 2
- "Outdated versions of Win32s" in the README.TXT file.
- SECTION -5- TROUBLESHOOTING - INSTALL PROBLEMS
- This section explains common errors encountered during
- installation. System configuration and software conflicts
- might cause the installation process to fail. If the
- installation fails, follow the instructions in Section 11
- on how to boot clean. This will eliminate any possible
- software conflicts. If booting clean doesn't solve the
- problem, or you encounter a problem not mentioned here,
- contact Borland Technical Support.
- A) Data Integrity or Bad Sector on Disk Errors
- If you receive either one of these error messages, you
- need to get a replacement disk set. Contact Borland's
- Disk Replacement Line at (800-621-3132).
- B) Install Program Terminates Prematurely
- If the install program stops for no apparent reason without
- error messages, it is possible that certain support files
- are write protected. To check this, do the following:
- 1) Go to your WINDOWS directory
- 2) Type attrib *.*
- 3) Check for the "r" attribute. If any file has this
- flag set, then you must clear it by typing:
- attrib -r <filename>
- 4) Repeat steps 2-3 for the WINDOWSSYSTEM directory.
- C) Disk Full or Insufficient Disk Space Errors
- You could get either one of these errors if there is
- insufficient hard disk space available to install
- BC++ 4.0. Here are some suggestions:
- - Boot your system with a clean configuration. Refer to
- Section 11 for instructions on how to boot clean.
- - Make sure your system meets the minimum installation
- requirements. Refer to Section 1 for a list of the
- minimum installation requirements.
- - If you are using disk compresion read Section -2- A)
- on reported available disk space when using disk
- compression.
- - Make sure that at least 3Mb of disk space is available
- on the drive where you have Windows installed, regardless
- of which drive you are installing Borland C++ to.
- - Run Windows in standard mode (win /s). During a
- Windows-hosted installation process, a swap file is
- used to simulate extra memory while running Windows.
- This only happens if you are running Windows in 386
- Enhanced Mode and have virtual memory (under control
- panel) turned on. While Windows is running, the
- temporary swap file can grow dynamically thereby
- using up hard disk space. Starting Windows in standard
- mode (win /s) before installing prevents this problem.
- D) GP Fault/Unhandled Exception
- GP Fault or Unhandled Exception errors can occur for a
- variety of reasons. Possible reasons for these errors are
- explained in Technical Information Document number 649.
- Refer to Section 10 for instructions on how to obtain
- this document. Here are a few suggestions for solving
- these errors:
- - Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements.
- Refer to Section 1 for a list of the minimum
- installation requirements.
- - Boot your system with a clean configuration. Refer to
- Section 11 for instructions on how to boot clean.
- - Run Windows in standard mode (win /s) to eliminate swap
- file usage.
- - Turn off Disk Caching and Video/Shadow RAM in CMOS.
- Refer to the documentation for your computer.
- SECTION -6- TROUBLESHOOTING - RUN TIME PROBLEMS
- This section describes common errors encountered when
- trying to use BC++ 4.0. System configuration and software
- conflicts might cause BC++ 4.0 to fail. If BC++ 4.0 fails,
- you should boot your system clean to eliminate any possible
- software conflicts. Refer to Section 11 for instructions
- on how to boot clean. If booting clean does not solve the
- problem or you encounter a problem not mentioned here,
- contact Borland Technical Support.
- A) Out of Memory
- If you are using command-line tools and are getting
- "Out of Memory" errors you might have exhausted your
- extended (or XMS) memory pool. This is especially true if
- you only have 2MB available extended RAM and do not have
- a memory manager that provides virtual memory. If you are
- experiencing this, please consult Technical Information
- Document number 1737. For information on how to receive
- this document, refer to Section 10.
- B) GP Fault/Unhandled Exception/System Hang
- GP Fault or Unhandled Exception errors can occur for a
- variety of reasons including: not enough memory
- available, not enough hard disk space available,
- conflicts with optimizations set in the CMOS, and
- software conflicts. Technical Information Document
- numbers 649 and 1328 address these issues. Refer to
- Section 10 for information on how to obtain these files.
- C) Turbo Debugger for Windows
- If you experience any strange behavior from the Turbo
- Debugger, such as a garbled screen or a system hang upon
- execution or exit:
- 1) Make sure that you have the latest Windows drivers
- for your video card.
- 2) Run TDWINI and test a different DLL to resolve a
- possible compatibility problem with your specific
- card.
- 3) Check TD-HELP!.TXT, TD_RDME.TXT, and README.TXT for
- additional information.
- 4) If you are still experiencing difficulties your
- problem might not be related to the video mode. At
- this point contact Borland Technical Support via
- phone or online help. Refer to Section 11 for more
- information about online options and procedures.
- SECTION -7- MODIFICATIONS INSTALL MAKES TO YOUR SYSTEM
- This section describes the files that are added by the
- install program to your Windows directory and modifications
- that are made to the Windows configuration files. Please

- SECTION -8- ICONS IN THE BC++ GROUP WINDOW
- A) Creating a Program Group Window for BC++ 4.0.
- If the Borland C++ Program Group Window didn't appear
- after installation you can create one by choosing one of
- the following options:
- - Generate icons by downloading the BC4GRPS.ZIP file.
- (If you need help on downloading refer to Section 10 of
- this document.) At the DOS prompt type: PKUNZIP
- BC4GRPS.ZIP. This uncompresses the files, including a
- readme.txt file containing instructions on using the
- BC4GRPS.EXE program.
- - Manually creating the icons. Load Windows, choose
- File|New|Program Group, and click on OK. Type the
- name you want for the program group window in the
- "Description:" text box, such as Borland C++. Leave
- "Group File" line blank. Click OK. A new Window appears.
- Choose File|New|Program Item to create icons for the
- Windows programs and click OK. Select one of the
- Windows executable programs to create an icon for, such
- as BCW.EXE (you can also use the Browse button). Type

- SECTION -9- LAN WINDOWS CONFIGURATION
- BC++ 4.0 provides a LAN Windows Configuration option during
- installation. This option must be used when you run Windows
- from a network or plan to install BC++ 4.0 to a network.
- If you run Windows from a network, this option is required
- because access to the WINDOWSSYSTEM directory is usually
- read-only. If you plan to install BC++ 4.0 to a network,
- the LAN Windows Configuration option centralizes the
- location of these files to a location on your hard disk that
- can be read from and written to.
- The LAN Windows Configuration option places the following files
- normally installed to the WINDOWSSYSTEM directory
- in the BC4BIN subdirectory.
- BW32000C.DLL BW320007.DLL
- BW320009.DLL BWCC.DLL
- BWCC000C.DLL BWCC0007.DLL
- BWCC0009.DLL BWCC32.DLL
- CTL3DV2.DLL CTL3D32.DLL
- You will want to ask your Network Administrator to move the
- files above to the WINDOWSSYSTEM directory to maintain standard
- file locations.
- If you are installing BC++ 4.0 to a network, you will also want
- to use this option. If users who will be running BC++ 4.0 from
- the network copy the files listed above into their own
- WINDOWSSYSTEM directory on their local machine, they can be
- removed from the BIN directory on the network. Otherwise, you
- must make sure that the BC4BIN subdirectory appears in each
- path on each machine that will run BC++ 4.0 and those DLLs
- should remain in the BIN directory. For example, if you
- installed BC++ 4.0 to the network drive W:, then each machine
- that runs BC++ 4.0 should have W:BC4BIN in its path.
- Note that selecting the LAN Windows Configuration option
- will not automatically setup BC++ 4.0 to work on a network.
- Additional configuration adjustments also have to be made
- to your system. To find out more about network installations,
- obtain Technical Information Document number 1738. Refer to
- Section 10 on how to obtain this document.
- SECTION -10- HOW TO GET A TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
- Technical Information Documents contain tips, techniques,
- and enhanced information on using Borland development tools,
- and information on commonly asked programming questions.
- Such documents often include programming examples. These
- documents can be accessed via modem or fax. Technical
- files which contain binary modules, such as patches for
- released Borland products, are normally available only from
- thos services that can be accessed by modem. Documents can

- If you're using a Windows based package, select a screen
- font (such as: Terminal) that includes extended ASCII
- characters.
- Once connected, you'll be prompted to enter your first
- and last name and a password. If you haven't used the
- service before, you'll be asked to verify your name and
- then answer a few questions. The menu-driven system
- guides you through the various product and file
- areas. You'll always receive a list of options when you
- are prompted to make any choice.
- MANEUVERING THE MAIN MENU
- First join the C++ Conference. The Main Menu shows the
- product whose files you can access. At the Main menu,
- type "F" to select the Files menu.
- DOWNLOADING FILES
- Once you know the name of the file you want to download,
- type "D" for download at the File menu. When prompted,
- type the full name of the file or files. All Technical
- Information Documents have the form "TI#.ZIP". Replace
- the # with the appropriate document number. For example,
- to download Technical Information Document number 649,
- the full name of the file is TI649.ZIP. If you do not
- know the protocol or download keys to press, refer to
- your telecommunications manual.
- WORKING WITH DOWNLOADED FILES
- Most of the files on the Download BBS are stored and
- transferred in an archived (compressed) format and need
- to be unarchived before they can be used. If you don't
- have the unarchiving utility PKUNZIP v.204G or newer,
- download PKZ204G.EXE from the DLBBS and execute it.
- You'll receive PKUNZIP and PKZIP utilities. To unarchive
- the file, type the name of an unarchive utility
- (UNPACK, UNZIP or PKUNZIP) and then the name of the
- archived file. For example:
- PKUNZIP TI649.ZIP
- SECTION -11- BOOT CLEAN
- This section describes the process of "booting clean" on
- IBM PC's and compatible computers with DOS and/or windows.
- This document assumes you have MS-DOS version 5.00 or higher.
- "Booting Clean" is the process of booting without loading
- device drivers and TSRs. Device drivers such as mouse
- drivers, network drivers, TSRs, etc. can cause memory
- conflicts.
- These device drivers and TSRs are usually loaded in two
- files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS typically located on
- the root directory of your hard disk). The safest
- method of booting clean is to create a "bootable" floppy
- disk in drive A:. See the "Making a Boot Disk" section
- below.
- If you are using a program that runs under Microsoft
- Windows, then you might need to make changes to some Windows
- configuration files in order to ensure a "clean system
- configuration" under Windows. The two files you will need
- to examine are WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI. These files are
- located in the WINDOWS subdirectory on your hard disk. The
- changes that you will need to make to these files (if any)
- are outlined below.
- Making a Boot Disk
- In order to make a bootable floppy disk, follow the
- instructions below. NOTE: These instructions assume that
- your hard disk is C: and your DOS and WINDOWS subdirectories
- appear on this disk. (Most cases)
- 1) Place a blank disk in drive A:
- 2) type format a: /s (format the disk)
- At this point you now have a bootable floppy disk. Using
- EDIT, ensure your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS look like
- one of the configuration choices below.
- Your "clean" system configuration should be exactly like
- one of the choices below except replace "<Insert REQUIRED
- drivers here>" with any required drivers. The ONLY
- required drivers are, for example, disk compression and/or
- hard disk access drivers. This does not include mouse
- drivers and disk caching utilities such as SmartDrive.
- Clean Configuration DOS 5.0 and DOS 6.x running Windows
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- 1) Insert your "bootable floppy" in drive A:
- 2) Type edit A:CONFIG.SYS
- 3) Type in the following:
- <Insert REQUIRED drivers here>
- DEVICE=C:DOSHIMEM.SYS
- FILES=40
- BUFFERS=40
- 4) Exit the editor (Alt-F, then X, then Y)
- 5) Type edit A:AUTOEXEC.BAT
- 6) Type in the following:
- <Insert REQUIRED drivers here>
- PATH=C:WINDOWS;C:DOS;C:BC4BIN
- PROMPT $P$G
- 7) Exit the editor (Alt-F, then X, then Y)
- 8) type CD WINDOWS
- 9) type copy WIN.INI WIN.BAK
- 10) type copy SYSTEM.INI SYSTEM.BAK
- 11) type edit WIN.INI
- 12) Make sure that the "load=" and "run=" lines in your
- WIN.INI file look like the following:
- ------------
- [windows]
- spooler=yes
- load=
- run=
- Beep=yes
- ------------
- 13) Exit the editor (Alt-F, then X, then Y)
- 14) type edit system.ini
- 15) Ensure that your "shell=" line in your SYSTEM.INI file
- looks like the following:
- ------------
- [boot]
- shell=progman.exe
- ------------
- 16) Exit the editor (Alt-F, then X, then Y)
- 17) Make sure your "Bootable floppy" is in drive A: and
- reboot your computer.
