Installing MessageBuilder Software

Publication 2706-817

15. The installation prompts you to update the AUTOEXEC.BAT

file. It adds:

C:\AB\BIN to the path.

C:\RSI\IC\BIN to the path.

SHARE.EXE to the file (Windows 3.1x only).

Environment variable ABIC_CONFIG=C:\RSI\IC\BIN.

ABICRUN.BAT (starts INTERCHANGE software).

Important: MessageBuilder Configuration software and

INTERCHANGE Software will not run without these
lines.

Note: If you do not update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file during
MessageBuilder installation, MessageBuilder software writes the
changes to the file AUTOEXEC.EXM for future reference.

16. The INTERCHANGE Device Configuration Utility opens. Use

this utility to select and configure the “DF1 on COM Port”
communication drivers that your computer (workstation) will use
to transfer MessageView applications. See Page 2–8.

17. Review the release note that appears at the end of the installation

procedure.

18. When the installation is complete, you must exit Windows and

reboot your computer.
