Storing the update files on diskettes will save you download time if you need to update PC Access 4.30 to Build 158 again. The update is too large to fit on a single High Density 1.44MB 3.5" diskettes, so MFM created a separate version of the update that fits on several diskettes.

The update consists of three self-extracting archive files containing disk image files. Do not download the self-extracting archive files directly to diskettes. Instead you must first download the archive files to a temporary folder on your hard disk, and then extract the disk images they contain to diskettes. Follow the steps below to create your PC Access update disks.

  1. Windows 95, 98 and NT users: click Start | Programs | Windows Explorer.
    Windows 3.1x users, use Windows File Manager.
  2. Click File | New | Folder.
  3. The Contents pane of Windows Explorer should say:
    • Contents of '... (C:)'
    where ... is the volume label of your C: drive. Type PCATEMP for the name of the new folder Windows Explorer created on your C: drive.
  4. Download the disk image self-extracting archive files to the C:\PCATEMP on your hard disk. Build 158 requires three diskettes, so click on the following three links to download three self-extracting archives.

    Download the Build 158 Update Disk 1 Self-Extracting Archive

    Download the Build 158 Update Disk 2 Self-Extracting Archive

    Download the Build 158 Update Disk 3 Self-Extracting Archive

    • Note: do not copy the self-extracting archive files directly to diskettes. You must first download them to C:\PCATEMP and then extract their contents to diskettes with the following steps.
  5. After you download the disk image self-extracting archive files to the C:\PCATEMP on your hard disk:
    • Windows 95, 98 and NT users: click Start | Programs | Windows Explorer.
    • Windows 3.1x users, use Windows File Manager.
  6. On the left window pane, click on the PCATEMP folder.
  7. On the right window pane, double-click on UPD158-1.EXE.
  8. Insert a blank 3.5" diskette in the diskette drive; click Unzip.
    • Note: You will repeat steps 7 and 8 for the files: UPD158-2.EXE and UPD158-3.EXE.
    • Note: Do not use your factory original PC Access diskettes. You must use blank 3.5" diskettes.
    • Note: These are WinZip self extracting files that will extract the contents of the disk image self-extracting archive files to 3.5" diskettes.
    When you finish, you should have three disks that contain the update files for Build 158.
  9. To install the Build 158 update, insert the first of the three disks you just created into the disk drive.
  10. Windows 95, 98 and NT users, Click Start | Run.
    Windows 3.1x users click File | Run.
  11. In the Open: field, type A:\SETUP.EXE click OK.
  12. Follow the instructions on your screen to install the update.
