Read this section ONLY if you have had trouble with automatic installation of the Solver. It explains how to manually install the Solver files and configure 1-2-3 to use the Solver. It assumes that you have experience working with Windows 95 or Windows NT files, directories and the Registry.
To install the Solver automatically, simply run the program SOLVE123.EXE on the computer where you have already installed 1-2-3 97 Edition. The automatic installation process performs all of the steps outlined in the sections "Extracting Files," "Modifying the Registry" and "Using the Files Add-Ins Menu."
To install the Solver manually, first create a solver subdirectory within the \lotus\123 directory which was created when 1-2-3 97 Edition was installed. Then open the file SOLVE123.EXE using a archiver program such as PKZIP or WinZip, and extract all of the archived files into the newly created solver subdirectory.
