Comparing to the Odin tree, the "pe.exe" executive is right into the \system32 directory, which would mean I would have to copy the system32 files in my \Acrobaat\Acrobaat51\ directory, as it's there that aros2.exe is residing.

Or to put it an other way aros2.exe works in the same way as Odin but without any \system32 directory present nor loaded nor available.

With Innowin only, using the way Mike suggested, ie With \ar5os2.exe Innowin is simply a subset of Odin with the required API's for the Innowin programs to use as helpers. All I do when ever there is an Odin update, is to simply unzip the latest odin files, make sure I'm in the new odin root, ie, the directory that contains the \system32 directory, and just "xcopy *.* \innowin/h/o/t/s/e/r" making sure I have copied the system.ini file to system.ini_bck. That way I retain the Innowin files, with access to the Odin files, and not have two seperate directory trees. Innowin doesnt come with a system32 directory, so all you need to do is to create one in the innowin directory, or do as I do it will be created when the files are xcopied over. You can then start win32 apps as per the odin way, ie, using PE. directory listing of my d:\innowin file is located at http://www.os2site dot com/innowin.txt for the next couple of days. In your config.sys just add D:\INNOWIN\SYSTEM32 to the PATH and LIBPATH lines. If you move odin over the top of Innowin after installing it with WarpInstaller, there maybe registery settings you will need to change, I prefer to use the zip file.

Innotek products are compiled for OS/2 but use a very small set of the ODIN API's as helper API's, ie, take any Innotek OS/2 product and it wont run under Windows anyway. This is why the Innowin structure is so bare. Were as if you want to run a real Windows (modern, not Win16) only program, then you need Odin. I combined the odin and innowin directory's just to be sure that Java and everything else would have what it was looking for, also makes more sense for me anyway to put all the Win32 stuff in one directory instead of splitting it. If that makes sense :-) >OTOH I'm sure aros2.exe works without any of the files in Odin's >\system32 directory.

I believe the Wincodecs was collected to work with WarpVision but may work with the others. I would expect there's a piece of win32 code that is called to use them (hence the need for ODIN) which is a shame that this couldn't be os/2 code to avoid the need for ODIN. >> >> >> While you can set up Mozilla based browsers to call WarpVision using >> npwv.dll, however I find better approach is to down load the firefox >> extention (an XPI file) called Mediaplayerconnectivity, version 0.8.3 >> or later.

If not, you're either very unlucky or you haven't got everything installed. At one point warp vision had to be the registered version and have warp overlay installed for it to be able to play DVDs but I think these restrictions are gone now (and never affected wmv files as far as I can remember).

Don't even attempt to use it to e.g. install the full Acrobat application [like the CD-delivered Acrobat 4.05 with distiller etc.] though!

How > could a winapp load in acrobat reader? > > Alan The way Innotek wrote this program - this is the way it works ! You'd think acrobat reader would try to open the win32 executable as a PDF file but it doesn't - it does try to execute it as a win32 program. In fact to be able to run a program with Innowin, I believe you only need two files - ar5os2.exe and ar32win.dll. Put those in the same directory as the win32 exe you want to try to run and then either set up an object or simply type the command as Ian gave it.

I haven't even had time to unzip the packages yet! I think it must be more than just a Plugin at 7MB I thought you'd pick that up! :-D I feel secure without any, like you -- but I know there are a lot of people using OS/2 who haven't got a clue - like Norman Antivirus - that wouldn't check format dot com because it was larger than 1 segment [64K]!!
