Setting Up Existing Applications

After you install an application on your system, you can use Setup to make sure it will run smoothly with Windows NT. You can direct Setup to search your path and local hard drives. Setup finds the applications on your hard disk and then asks you to select those that should be set up to run under Windows NT

Setup creates an icon in a Program Manager group window for each application you select. For applications not created to run under any version of Microsoft Windows, Setup also provides the appropriate program information file (PIF) for running that application. If Setup does not create a PIF for the application you want to add, you can create one by using PIF Editor.

If you want to set up just one Windows-based application, the easiest way is to drag it program icon from File Manager to a group window in Program Manager. If you want to add several Windows-based applications or any non-Windows-based applications, use Windows NT Setup to add them all at once using the following procedure.

To add applications to run under Windows NT

1.	From the Options menu in Windows NT Setup, choose Set Up Applications.

2.	In the Search For Applications list, select the locations where you want Setup to search for existing applications

3.	Choose the Search Now button.

Setup displays the applications it found. These names are supplied by the applications, not by Setup.

4.	To select the applications you want, click each application name in the left list. Or use the arrow keys and SPACEBAR to select application names.

When you select a name, Setup displays that application's path in the lower-left corner of the dialog box. Because several application can have the same program filename, check the application name and its path to make sure the application is the one you want.

To cancel a selection, select it again.

5.	To move selected applications to the box on the right, choose the Add button. Or press ALT+A.

Or choose the Add All button to move all the applications to the box on the right. Or press ALT+D.

If you want to remove an application from the box on the right, select its name, and then choose the Remove button. Or press ALT+R.

8.	Choose the Continue button when the list on the right contains all the applications you want to set up.

If you selected any applications that have the same program filename, Setup asks you to specify which application you want to set up. Follow the instructions in the Choose Application Name dialog box, or press F1 for Help.


Search for Applications

Use this dialog box to specify where Setup should search for applications to create program-item icons and any required program information files (PIFs) needed to run the applications under Windows NT.

Search List

Select the path or drives where you want Windows NT Setup to search for applications. You can specify more than one place--for example, both your path and drive C. Click a selected item again to remove its selection.

To determine the correct IP Address, ask your network administrator.


FN_SubnetMask
Subnet Mask

Specifies the subnet mask associated with the selected adapter. Each interface used by TCP/IP must have a subnet mask configured. This allows the workstation to separate the IP address into host and network IDs, and also to subdivide the host ID portion of an IP address so that a large network address block can be partitioned into a number of smaller subnetworks. This parameter is entered into the registry for each network interface bound to the TCP/IP transport.

To determine your network's subnet policy and correct Subnet Mask, ask your network administrator.


FN_WinNetHost

Choose one of the following buttons for information about this dialog box:

 Hostname

 TCP Domain Name

 Name Resolution Search Order

 Domain Name Service (DNS) Search Order

 Domain Search Order


FN_HostName
Hostname

Specifies the name for this computer, which is used to identify the local workstation for authentication by remote TCP/IP utilities such as rcp, rsh, and rexec. Other TCP/IP utilities and applications can also use this value to find the name of the local workstation.

By default, the hostname is the computer name in Windows NT. But a hostname can also be assigned by your network administrator to identify a host on the local network. Names are stored in a table that maps to IP addresses for use by the Domain Name Service (DNS).

To determine the correct hostname to use, ask your network administrator.


FN_TCPDomainName
TCP Domain Name

Specifies the local workstation's domain in the form of the fully qualified name for the workstation, which is hostname.domain. During Domain Name Service (DNS) queries, the local domain is appended to short names unless the Domain Search Order has been specified.

The TCP Domain Name identifies your group under a naming hierarchy with descending levels of detail. For example:  mygroup.corpname.edu. The first part identifies a department or division, the middle part gives the institution name, and the last part indicates a general institutional category (such as education or commercial).

To determine the correct TCP Domain Name for your group, ask your network administrator.


FN_NameResolutionOrder
Name Resolution Search Order

Specifies the order that the workstation follows in trying to resolve hostnames. The options specify whether resolution is from the Domain Name Service (DNS) or from host files, or a combination of the two.

The default setting is DNS First, Then Hosts File.


FN_DNS_SearchOrder
Domain Name Service (DNS) Search Order

To add an entry to the Search Order list, type the hostname or IP address in the box on the left and then choose the Add button. To delete an entry, select it in the list on the right and then choose the Remove button.

To change the list order, select an entry. Then click the Up Arrow to move it higher in the list, or click the Down Arrow to move it lower in the list.

The DNS Search Order lists up to three servers to be used for name resolution. These servers are queried in the order specified from top to bottom.

If Name Resolution Search Order is Hosts File Only, this option is not available.


FN_DNS_SearchList
Domain Search Order

To add an entry to the Search Order List, type a domain suffix to be used in Domain Name Service (DNS) queries in the box on the left, and then choose the Add button.

This parameter overrides the use of TCP Domain Name in search queries, but it is not required. As with DNS Search Order, the order of entries in the Search list determines the priority in which suffixes are added.
