A-6 Understanding the Installation
Understanding the Installation Program in
Windows 3.1x
When you install the audio software, the installation program creates
a directory and copies the software into it. It then allows you to set up
your Windows applications by adding a command to the WIN.INI file
to run WINSETUP.EXE. This command automatically creates the
audio card program group and the application icons when you next run
Windows.
You can also choose to set up your Windows applications at a
later time by running SETUP in the audio software directory on
your hard disk. SETUP also allows you to selectively set up
components that were not installed previously.
The installation program also modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT File Settings
The installation program adds the following statements to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S /W=C:\WINDOWS
C:\SB16\MIXERSET /P /Q
C:\SB16\AWEUTIL /S
The directory name SB16 may be VIBRA16 in your
installation.
The parameters in bold apply only to Sound Blaster SB32 and
the AWE line of audio cards.
The first 3 statements set up the environment variables for your audio
card. The last 3 statements run the DIAGNOSE, MIXERSET, and
AWEUTIL utilities. The BLASTER statement is added by the
DIAGNOSE utility, and the values shown above may differ from those
in your system.
