ABS Tech Note: AWS14 Tune-up Install of AppleShare Pro (6/94)

This article describes the tune-up installation of AppleShare Pro on an Apple Workgroup Server (AWS) 95.

The AWS 95 Tune-Up 1.0 and the AWS 95 software upgrade will not update the AppleShare Pro File Server and Admin programs if the customer has changed the location of these programs on the root volume; for example, they may have changed the name of the " Applications" folder or placed the programs in sub-folders. This will result in an incomplete installation of the Tune-Up software.

Unfortunately, the Installer will not advise the customer that an error has occurred, since it was designed to update systems without AppleShare Pro, that is, database configurations.

The customer can complete the installation by "dragging" the File Server and Admin programs (inside the AppleShare Pro folder) from Disk 2 of the AWS 95 Tune-Up 1.0 or the upgrade CD to the folder(s) they have created or re-named. These programs must not be running when the new copies are installed. There is no need to install the File Server extension by hand, unless the extension itself has been re-named, which shouldn't occur.

If you're unsure whether or not your AppleShare has been updated properly, check the release number in the Get Info dialog for each application. Both AppleShare File Server and AppleShare Admin should be release 1.0.1. If they aren't, install updated copies from the Tune-Up disks by hand. Upgrade customers are upgraded to version 1.1
