Description of Windows Patches for 1.1.1a 1. Version control (Win9x & Windows NT/2000) NTMakefile.i386_win95 and NTMakefile.i386_nt40 added AFSPRODUCT_VERSION variable, setting this will propagate through the software by setting the product version for the installation and client dialog boxes. In particular it will provide correct notification if Win2K installation is being upgraded, reinstall or downgraded. Version information shows up in the following ways: Welcome dialog during installation Properities page for Install.exe (Windows Installation routine) Windows Add/Remove Dialogs application list AFS Control Center and Client dialog boxes See README-WIN9X.TXT or README-NT.TXT for further information on how to set this variable. 2. CellServDB (Win9x & Windows NT/2000) The installer can choose between various sources for CellServDB: a) Previous installed file, afsdcell.ini(WinNT/2000) or CellServDB(Win9x). b) File that comes with the installation package (recent copy from grand.central.org) c) Download a the file from the Web (default http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB). d) Browse for a file 3. Drive Mapping (Win9x & Windows NT/2000) The installer can choose up to two drive mappings during the installation process. Default is map Z: to AFS root and U: to user home directory 4. Silent Running (Win9x & Windows NT/2000) Setup.exe is capable of running silently (-s option); that is, it will use a pre-made response script to drive its responses. You can also do a normal installation with the record option (-r) to build a sample response file. The installation routine has been improved to accept a modified response file so the administrator can setup up additional drive mappings including substituting the user's loggin name into the path. By using a text editor an administrator can setup a variable path name that includes %LOGINNAME% in a path statement. This variable will be substituted for the current user's login name. (Only at installation time.) For example: if an administrator wanted to install AFS client on a machine that had the following mappings: Z:=/ U:=/afs/afscell.org/u/username Q:=/afs/afscell.org/general Then follow these steps: a) run setup with -r option and specify install to record responses into file setup.iss setup.exe -r -f1setup.iss b) Follow normal installation responses c) Edit the setup.iss response file by modifying the "DRIVEPATH section". This response file could start off looking like this: [DLG_DRIVEPATH-1] Result=1 Drive_0=Z: Path_0=/ Share_0=all Drive_1=U: Path_1=/afs/afscell.org/u/administrator Share_1=home Count=2 This section map would be changed to look like this: [DLG_DRIVEPATH-1] Result=1 Drive_0=Z: Path_0=/ Share_0=all Drive_1=U: Path_1=/afs/afscell.org/u/%LOGINNAME% Share_1=home Drive_2=Q: Path_2=/afs/afscell.org/general Share_2=genrl Count=3 d) Use the silent mode to install AFS (must log to windows as your user name e.g. Frank) setup.exe -s -f1setup.iss HINT: Share name should be limited to 12 characters. The response file terminate if the installation is in any way different; for example, the response is recorded on a clean machine and it is run on a system where AFS is already installed. The execution is truly silent, except for a log file. The last response is BootOption and if set to 1 it will reboot your machine! Refer to additional documentation on silent/record in you Install Shield User's Guide. 5. Fixed the Un-Installation bug that damaged the NetBT parameter registration. (Win2k/NT only) 6. Change Default selection for Win2000 to Client and Documentation only. (Win2K/NT only) The default installation is with Server and Control Center NOT selected. 7. Win9x Client Operation (Win9x only) Win9x client has been changed to allow "connection" with out forcing authentication. Previous implementation of the Win9x client had three steps to the connection process: 1) start client 2) obtain tokens 3) Map drives The updated Win9x client can leave the username blank and select to Connect. Therefore, only the client will be started (without obtaining tokens). The user can still map drives (those that don't require authentication). This is particularity useful if you want to use a different routine to obtain authentication tokens or additional drive mappings. A command line option has also been added (-noid). This option Prevent selection of (Gray out) username/password. This will cause the client to start up without authentication. By using both -noid and -connect allows the user to run the AFS client in login script that could provide Kerbos 5 authentication and addition drive mapping. 8. Installation (Win9x only) Fix installation into paths that have space, e.g. \Program Files\Afscli
