Installing OmniWeb for RDR YellowBox
February 26, 1998
1. Create C:\Local
2. Download OmniWeb from
ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/Windows-YellowBox/ and place in
C:\Local
3. Do not use WinZip for extraction, it will truncate filenames and
create problems within applications' preferences menus.
4. To extract files, use this procedure
a. gzip -d filename.tar.gz
ex. gzip -d OmniComponents-3.0b5-Win-YB.tar.gz
b. gnutar -xpf filename.tar
ex. gnutar -xpf OmniComponents-3.0b5-Win-YB.tar
Yes, it's a lot to type. Do this for all files. Components
and Frameworks will create C:\Library\Frameworks and
C:\Library\Executables
5. Use 4a. & 4b. to extract the applications (OmniWeb, OmniPDF,
OmniImage) into C:\Local
6. Use TextEdit.app to open
C:\Local\OmniWeb.app\Resources\Info-winnt.plist and verify that
SearchPaths contains a reference to where the Components are located
(in this case, SearchPaths should have /Local/Library/Components)
7. Open up the System Control Panel (Start Menu -> Settings -> Control
Panel, System icon) and select the Environment tab. Select the
Variable "Path" and make sure that it has in it's value string
C:\Local\Library\Executables and C:\Local
8. To start OmniWeb, click on C:\Local\OmniWeb.app\OmniWeb.exe
