Before installing system components, as fixpaks are, it is a good rule to close all running applications, including
desktop enhancers such as npswps, pmpatrol, screensavers, etc...
 

• You are applying an incompatible version
• There are files to be removed

• LOGF000.OS2
• LOGSTART.OS2
• LOGARCH.OS2
which you will find in the \OS2\INSTALLfolder.

• LOGF0000.MPM
• LOGSTART.MPM
• LOGARCH.MPM

which you will find in the \MMOS2\INSTALLfolder.

• C:\CSF_SEL.000

if it exists.

If this happened, look for the following files:

• FIXSTART
• IBMCSFLK.LST
• IBMCSFLK.CSF
• CSF_*

• IBMCSFLK

"UNABLE TO OPEN ARCHIVE DIRECTORY"

Copy all the fixpak files in a single folder; make sure the folder does NOT contain any other file.
There have to be only files with extensions *.dsk, *.1dk, etc...
 

Step 2

Click on 'Browse' button. This specify the temporary directory where
SimplyFix will uncompress the fixpak.
A capacity of about 30MB (at least) is requested. The directory must exist already and must be empty.
 
 

Once you have found the folder, just d-click on one of the files: SimplyFix
will load and sort all of them. They will then appear in the main listbox.

Step 4

Now you must select one of two action to perform:
 

OK, now that most of the work is done, just click on 'Start' and the installation will start.
By clicking on 'Start' all fixpak files are unpacked into temporary directory you have specified and then
the setup program 'SERVICE.EXE' by IBM will be started. You only have to follow its hints
and everything will be OK.
 

Starting with release 3 of SimplyFix, a new function is available which starts  'SERVICE.EXE' to execute the BackOut
in order to restore the system to the state in which it was prior to the last fixpak installation. To do this,
only the first *.dsk of the most recently installed fixpak is needed.
 

Step 2

Click on 'Browse' button. This specify the temporary directory where SimplyFix will uncompress the fixpak.
A capacity of about 30MB (at least) is requested. The directory must exist already and must be empty.
 

Copy only the first *.dsk of the last fixpak that has been applied in a temporary directory. For this folder
the same advices apply that were given for the fixpak installation. Click on the 'Browse' button to locate
directory in which you have previously stored the fixpak file. Once found, just select the file in it.
SimplyFix will then load the file. Its name will appear in the main listbox.

Step 4

Select the 'BackOut' option. Go to the next page.

Step 5
Click on 'Start' button and uninstallation will start.
By clicking 'Start', the 'SERVICE.EXE' install program by IBM will be started,
You only have to follow its instructions and suggestions, and all will work
correctly.
 

At the end of the operations performed by 'Service.exe', SimplyFix can be closed.
The program will ask you confirmation for:

• Completely remove the installation directory
• Reboot to perform the next step of the fixpak installation/BackOut.
