Norton Utilities 5.01 Error Messages (Users)

posted by CluelessInSeattl, Seattle, USA, 16.08.2012, 03:14

OK, first of all, here's the text of the README.UPD file. From reading this file I get the impression that what I've downloaded may be an updater for an already installed version of NU8. Does it look that way to you?

================= README.UPD =======================================

Norton Utilities Update

This update for Norton Utilities version 8.0 provides support for
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 32-bit file access and support for DOS 6.22.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------
To update the current version of Norton Utilties 8.0 follow these
simple steps.


1) If you are currently running Windows (any version), exit from it.
2) Copy the NU8.EXE and the RUNME.BAT file to the drive containing
Norton Utilities.
3) Run the batch file called RUNME.BAT



This batch file will do the following:

1) Delete all old copies of SYMEVNT1.DLL except for the one in your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directory.

2) Copy updated versions SYMEVNT1.DLL and SYMEVNT.386 to your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory if the existing ones are an earlier
version.

3) Copy the files about to be patched to a subdirectory called
"BACKUP" off the Norton Utilities subdirectory.

4) Copy the patch program and patch file to the subdirectory
containing Norton Utilities version 8.0. This will require that
you have the NU environment variable set. (type "SET NU" to see if
it is. Set it with a command such as "SET NU=C:\NU".)

5) Several of the NU 8.0 files will be updated.

6) The patch program and patch file will be deleted from the NU
subdirectory.

After the patch has been completed and you are satisfied the
process was successful, you may delete the backup directory that
was created in step 3.
