First-Time Installation:

Running under OS/2:
1. Create an EPRM directory on your hard drive.
2. From the Choose Your Operating System Section, download the OS/2 install program (OS2X1.EXE) to the EPRM directory.
3. Insert a floppy disk into the A: drive and execute the OS2X1.EXE file from a command line; this will create the OS/2 Install disk.
4. Copy the contents of the floppy disk back into your EPRM directory.
5. Download the Base files into the EPRM directory.
6. Download the Brand files you require into the EPRM directory; if you require them all, download them all.
7. At an OS/2 Command line, go to the EPRM directory and type EPRMINST. This creates a desktop icon which you can double-click on to start the package.

Running under Windows:
1. Create an EPRM directory on your hard drive.
2. From the Choose Your Operating System Section, download the Windows install program (WINX.EXE) to the EPRM directory.
3. Insert a floppy disk into the A: drive and execute the WINX.EXE file from a command line; this will create the Windows Install disk.
4. From the Download the Base Files Section, detach all files to the EPRM directory.
5. Download the Brand files you require into the EPRM directory; if you require them all, download them all.
6. Go to a DOS command line and execute the SETUP.EXE file on the floppy disk.
7. During the install program, when asked for the directory the EPRM files are held within, enter this in the space provided.
8. When the install program ends, restart Windows and you will have an EPRM folder containing a suite of icons.

Upgrading an Existing EPRM:
Not all of EPRM is changed with every release. If you keep up-to-date with every release, then you only need to change those files that show a Date change in the Last Update entry underneath the Doclink.

If you are not sure what release you have, then it is best to download all files from Sections 1 and 2 above. If you only need up-to-date ThinkPad information, then download only the ThinkPad files.
