Dear,

Another capability is to create a debug file c:\kixtart.log by installing the package.


  • debug mode will be active when you have declare the environment
    variable kix-debug. the value is meaningless.
  • shows pop-up windows about progress and shows which version and
    which directories will be using.
  • creates a debug file c:\kixtart.log, which gives us infor-
    mation about the installation process of your package.
  • the control file c:\kix???.ok will contain additional infor-
    mation about the kixtart files.

Attention for following issue for Windows 95 environments:

code:

too late flushing write-buffers on windows95 may give unexpected
and unwanted errors. We discover this by running COPY statement
by kixtart 4.00 beta 2 (build 24.4.2001).

For the creation of debug file c:\kixtart.log you must change
your BAT file to:

code:

set kix-debug=ok
%0\..\kix363update.exe /q
set kix-debug=


or
code:

set kix-debug=ok
if not exist c:\kix363.ok %0\..\kix363update.exe /q
set kix-debug=

Your window screen will show:
First it will show a pop-up window with a message like
Installation of Kixtart 363 started from 'c:\my documents\ixp000.tmp'."
After completion it will show following pop-up window:
Installation of Kixtart 363 completed from 'c:\my documents\ixp000.tmp'. File 'KIX363.OK' created."
or
Installation of Kixtart 363 incompleted from 'c:\my documents\ixp000.tmp'. No file 'KIX363.OK' created."
Please press YES button by both pop-up windows.

The contents of kix363.ok can be

code:

[Kixtart W95]
kix32.exe 3.63=2001/06/08 01:56:52 -> 2000/10/15 14:50:20 163840
kx16.dll 3.63=2001/06/08 01:56:52 -> 1999/09/01 16:00:00 47104
kx32.dll 3.63=2001/06/08 01:56:52 -> 1999/09/01 16:00:00 32768

The contents of your debug output file c:\kixtart.log can be:
