2. Getting Started
Before you can begin using the Windows Installer Localization Kit, you
must install it and setup your working directories. This is a simple matter
of unzipping the compressed kit file(s) into the proper directories. Your
system must also meet certain requirements to run the tools needed to perform
the localization steps described below.
System Requirements
There few system requirements for the kit in the strictest sense; however,
your choice of tools will have their own set of requirements. The
most likely minimum configuration will be as follows:
-
100% IBM compatible PC
-
Pentium® processor
-
Microsoft® Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 (localized
versions will help testing but aren't required)
-
16 MB RAM
-
30 MB available hard disk space
-
InstallShield International version 3.0 or other install builder software
-
A visual resource editor, such as those provided with Microsoft®
Visual C++, Borland® C++, etc.
-
An active Internet connection and the ability to ftp (send and receive)
large files
-
A Web browser (say, for example, Netscape Communicator ;-)
Installing the Kit
It is recommended that you install the Windows Installer Localization Kit
into the same directory as your other Netscape/Mozilla localization kits:
in other words, install this kit into your kitRoot directory.
Place this localization kit's .ZIP file in that directory and UNZIP it
with the -d parameter:
PKUNZIP -d filename
Example: PKUNZIP -d instkit
Configuring Your Tools
Please refer to your Installshield or other install builder tool's documentation
for set up and usage instructions.
