I installed Connect 7.20td1 on a network drive and then each user followed the procedure below to use it. It has been working fine for more than a month now with about 35 users. 1. under File Manager, create directory C:\\win32app\\informix (to be used in step 5d) To do this, click on the C drive. click File, Create Directory 2. In Program Manager, create group(common) Informix INET v7.2 To do this, click File, New, Common Program Group. 3. In Program Manager, create program item SETNET32 To do this, click File, New, Program Item. a. description: SETNET32 b. command: L:\\win32app\\informix\\bin\\setnet32.exe c. working directory: C:\\win32app\\informix For message, 'The specified path points to a file that may not be available during later Windows sessions. Do you want to continue?' respond Yes. 4a. create program item ILOGIN a. description: ILOGIN b. command: L:\\win32app\\informix\\bin\\ilogin.exe c. working directory: not needed 4b. create program item FINDERR a. description: FINDERR b. command: L:\\win32app\\informix\\bin\\finderr c. working directory: not needed 5. double click on program item SETNET32.
