AppleShare Workstation: How to Install It on the Mac SE/30



Users have had problems installing AppleShare workstation software (release 2.0
is the most common version) on a Macintosh SE/30. For example, after
initializing the hard disk on the Macintosh SE/30 and installing System
software 6.0.3, they experienced problems installing AppleShare Workstation
software. To wit, after installing AppleShare Workstation software and
selecting Shut Down, the system hangs with a frozen screen.

When they reinstalled the System software using Minimum Macintosh SE/30, the
AppleShare Workstation software worked. Shut Down worked too, although it
seemed to take slightly longer. This type of thing can occur if the AppleShare
Workstation software was installed from a disk using System software 6.0.2.

To have everything properly installed, do the following:

1) Use Macintosh System Tools disk, version 6.0.3, to install the System
software.

2) Use the Macintosh Utilities Disk 1 disk, version 6.0.3, to install the
AppleShare Workstation software.

Both disks are a part of the System software 6.0.3 four-disk set sent with the
Macintosh SE/30. Each disk has an Installer and Installer scripts (full system
scripts on the Tools disk and minimum system and workstation on the Utilities
disk).
