Determining Free Disk Space.................................. 7 Installing MAX+PLUS II Software .............................. 7 Additional Windows NT Installation Steps..................... 10 Additional NEC 9801 Installation Steps ........................ 13
Determining Free Disk Space
The Install program calculates whether you have enough free disk space for installation. The actual space required depends on the allocation unit size on your hard disk, which you can determine by typing chkdsk 9 at a DOS prompt. Refer to the read.me file for precise information on the amount of hard disk space required for installation. Regardless of which drive you select for installing the MAX+PLUS II software, the Install program requires at least 500 Kbytes of free hard disk space on your c: drive.
Installing the Software
The following steps describe first-time installation with the Altera Install program. Once you have completed the following installation procedure, you can run MAX+PLUS II programs directly from your hard disk. 1 Do not install MAX+PLUS II by copying files directly from the CD-ROM. The installation files are in compressed format and must be decompressed by the Install program.
These installation instructions assume the following conditions:
Altera Corporation
MAX+PLUS II Getting Started
The MAX+PLUS II Install program starts. This program prompts you for all information needed to install MAX+PLUS II. You should install MAX+PLUS II in a separate directory from any previous MAX+PLUS II version. If your DOS path includes an existing MAX+PLUS II directory, the Install program will default to installing in that directory, so be sure to override the default directory during installation. 1 Because improvements and other changes in the latest version of MAX+PLUS II software may fit projects differently from other versions, you may wish to finish existing projects with the earlier version. Altera also recommends that you archive a project before upgrading the latest version of MAX+PLUS II so that you can return it to an earlier version, if necessary.
Altera Corporation
Section 1: MAX+PLUS II Installation
Follow the directions provided on-screen. To get help on any step in the installation process, choose the Help button. 1 You can abort the installation procedure at any time by choosing the Exit button.
During installation of MAX+PLUS II on a PC running Windows 95, you may receive an error message that states that the file a.azp was not extracted. To correct this error, disable write caching for SmartDrive by typing the following command at a DOS prompt, then reinstall MAX+PLUS II: smartdrv / x 9
If you receive an application error message while installing MAX+PLUS II on a Novell network, perform the following steps: a. b. Reboot the computer, but do not log onto the network. Reinstall MAX+PLUS II according to the installation instructions. Reboot the computer and log onto the network.
Once you have successfully installed MAX+PLUS II, the read.me file appears automatically. You should check the read.me file for important information on the MAX+PLUS II software. After checking the read.me file, exit from Windows.
