Java 1.1.8 (Base & Swing):
    Run each package at the root of the Java install drive, with the "-di -ov" parameters.
    Be CERTAIN to have those command-line parameters on each when you run each!
    Make sure that NS Navigator is closed.
    Run INSTALL.EXE
    NS will load x:\index.htm.  Choose a language.
    If the second page hangs at "Resolving the Feature Install Variable", reboot and try again.
    If you get "Cannot find the RESPONSE file . . . ", you didn't have NS closed before you started.
    Choose "Guided Path".  The correct options should already be checked.

Install the Java update(s)
    Don't forget to reboot after installation.
    Run DELINST.cmd at each installation finish for cleanup of unzipped files.
    Manually delete each file from the root when finished with each.
Java 1.1.8 Base javainuf.exe -di -ov (Runtime only w/Unicode Font, 20mb) (from IBM) (note 2)
Java 1.1.8 Swing Extensions javainsr.exe -di -ov (Swing Runtime, RMI-IIOP runtime) (from IBM)
Java 1.1.8 Updates for Aug-00:
runtime.exe -o (from IBM)
Also, check out:
os2jre.exe -di -ov (from IBM) (seems to be a Java runtime package to be packaged with Java apps?)
rmi-iiop-toolkit.exe -di -ov (from IBM)

Remove JavaOS2:
Once you have installed the new Java 1.1.8, you can get rid of JavaOS2, the old version:
   Click on the Drives object, then click on the Drive C: object to get the Drive C: tree.
   Expand the OS2 object,
   Expand the Install object,
   Expand Installed Features,
   Open Install Object - Inventory,
   Highlight the Java object and click on Uninstall (don't uninstall Java11, as that is your new Java, uninstall only "Java".),
   Reboot.
   Check CONFIG.sys for the presence of any reference to x:\JAVAOS2, and remove if necessary.

Optionally:
Updated printer driver from the IBM Device Driver Repository
Bidirectional Printer Port driver BIDI.exe (from the IBM Device Driver Repository)
    See INSTALL.txt
Theseus/3 thes3002.exe (from IBM)
    Add to CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=X:\THESEUS\THESEUS5.SYS
    Theseus is a memory management reporting tool from IBM.  Detects memory leaks on a per-application basis.
ZTBold v1.80 GA ztb180.zip (from Ztree.com)
PMView v1.05 or PMView2000 for screen captures (from PMView.com)
Time868 time synchronizer time868f.zip (from hobbes)
Seti@Home client (from seti@home)
    or
RC5DES Bovine client (from distributed.net)
DeskMan/2 v1.51 from floppy, then v2.0 upgrade for Warp4
    Manually add "c:\devtech;" to the end of LIBPATH, PATH, HELP lines in
    CONFIG.SYS



For a LS 5 installation over Warp4 base OS:
    Refer to  http://duanec.indelible-blue.com/wsonw4/0000fm.htm
    Basically, copy the \WARPSRV directory with subdirectories from the OS/2 Warp Server CD-ROM to the local hard disk.
    Change to your hard disk and then to the \WARPSRV directory
    Leave the CD in the drive!
    Run WSCONFIG.exe.  If you start WSCONFIG.exe from CD, the installation procedure will try to create a response file on the read-only CD.
    Don't select "Advanced Print Services"; it won't work.
    Don't select TCP/IP, because you're using the version with Warp4
    Add "RUN=x:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\CACHE386.EXE" to the top of CONFIG.sys.  If you don't, you'll get:
        "Net 3091: the CACHE386.exe is not running, The server cannot be started."
LanServer FP IP08531 (from IBM) via Faskkick/DIUNPACK & run "FIX.cmd" (use DIUNPACK.exe instead of DSKXTRCT.EXE).
    Updated: as of 10-May, IP08531 has been re-released, "format was changed to be compatible with diskette image utilities."  So, possibly DSKXTRCT may work again.
Master Browser Enabler for W95 browsers.zip (from IBM)
    Use this to enable the WarpServer to be a "Master Browser" or "Backup Master Browser" to your Win95 clients.
    Unzip into a temp dir, using UNZIP.exe or x:\IBMCOM\PKUNZIP2.exe or the OS/2 version of "PKZIP.exe /extract", then run the updated BRINST.cmd (from IBM): don't use the BRINST.cmd that comes with browsers.zip!

Optionally:
Back Again/2 TBU



DOS Lan Services (DLS, aka DOS Lan Requester, DLR) DL8330 (from IBM).  This is the complete four disk set to install a DOS LAN Requester for a DOS box to talk to a Warp Peer or Warp Server.  Can be installed as command-line-only, DOS GUI, or Win3.1 Gui.  Limitation: sharing a resource on the DOS box, only one user can use the resource at a time.


HOW TO: restore your desktop just the way you want it.  DOS programs in windows, all DOS and CMD windows at individual sizes, etc.  It can't be the easy way, but here's how we're doing it:  Move_it/Switchto/Console



Notes
Note 1: Null at this time.
Note 2: The README says it's a development pkg.  During install, use "Guided" install, then choose to install only the Runtime and Times xxx fonts.
Note 3: The Fastkick/CSF 1.42 & DSKXTRCT method.
    In a temp dir:
    Unzip FASTKICK141.zip
    Unzip DSKXTR12.exe
    Run DSKXTRCT /s:xxxxxxb?.dsk /t:. (source & target) /ra (replace all)
    Run "FIX.cmd"
    [FIX.cmd basically contains:
        SET CSFUTILPATH=(dir where FIX.cmd is invoked)
        SET CSFCDROMDIR=(dir where FIX.cmd is invoked)
        SERVICE.exe
    If a FP apply stalls with no disk activity, SERVICE.exe may have run out of file handles.  See note above about SET "SHELLHANDLESINC=25", and perhaps add "SET CSFDRIVEAPPLY=x" to FIX.cmd, to limit the drives that SERVICE.exe will search for serviceable products.  Source:

For DIUNPACK.exe, use:
    for %1 in (*.?dk) do diunpack %1
Note 4: You *MUST NOT* install the TCP/IP 4.02 after MPTS8620, which updates TCP/IP to v4.2.

Error: F&PS (Peer): SYS3175 in PEERINST.PGM at 00065253

Over the years, IBM and folks in the NGs have made us aware that File & Print Services installation (Peer) from the CD in Warp4 does not work correctly if you have a line in the CONFIG.SYS which is longer than 256 characters.  What is not as well known or discussed is that *any* line longer than 256 characters will trigger the subject error.

Most folks have posted that it is the PATH  or LIBPATH lines that cause the error, but in my case, a reinstall of Peer with the PATH/LIBPATH lines drastically shortened did not help.  The clue, as posted Aug-98 by Ken Taylor, is in x:\IBMINST\LOGS\LOCINSTU\LOCAL.L2, which read in part:

CAS0029: CASINSTL Warning!  One or more lines in E:\CONFIG.SYS exceed 255 characters.

I had several copies of PATH/LIBPATH/DPATH/HELP lines, left there by Tyra/2, a CONFIG.SYS maintenance utility.  After removing those lines, then cutting the PATH/LIBPATH/DPATH/HELP lines in three pieces (and putting the "discarded" parts in shortened REM lines, to be glued back on later), I was able to continue Peer installation without the PEERINST.PGM error.

Note that running <CDROM>:\CID\IMG\IBMPEER\PEERRMT.EXE, an installation approach which has been commonly advised in the NGs, did not recreate the Connections|Network|NetworkServices|SharedResources&NetworkConnections object.

Running <CDROM>:\IBMINST\NPCONFIG.EXE would not complete installation, reporting that it couldn't generate a file whose target location was on the CD drive!

Finally, as Mr. Knott has advised, running <CDROM>:\INSTALL.CMD will allow the complete Peer/MPTS/TCP/IP installation to complete, with all objects in place on the desktop etc.  To which the various fixpacks can then be applied:
