MAX+PLUS II Installation Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Installation

This dialog box welcomes you to the MAX+PLUS II Install program and explains how it works.

You should refer to the Installation & Operating Requirements section of the read.me file on the first MAX+PLUS II Installation diskette (or in the \pc\maxplus2 directory on the CD-ROM) before running this installation program.

Whenever you need more explanation about the current installation step, choose the Help button in the bottom right corner of your screen. The Help button gives help on the current dialog box or message. You can also choose the Go Back and Exit buttons at any time. The Go Back button returns you to the previous dialog box. The Exit button quits the Install program.

Choosing the Install button starts the MAX+PLUS II Install program and takes you through the necessary steps to install MAX+PLUS II.

If you are installing MAX+PLUS II from diskettes, you should only insert a new diskette when you are asked to do so. If you insert a new diskette at the wrong time, the MAX+PLUS II Install program will be interrupted.

Choosing the Uninstall button starts the procedure for removing a previous version of MAX+PLUS II. However, it is not necessary to uninstall MAX+PLUS II before installing a new version of the software, since the Install program will overwrite an existing version of MAX+PLUS II. Whenever you need more information on uninstalling MAX+PLUS II, choose the Help button.


MAX+PLUS II Installation Directories Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Installation Directories

This dialog box allows you to specify the system and working directories for MAX+PLUS II.

The first system directory found in the PATH variable of your autoexec.bat file is displayed as the default. The working directory defaults to \max2work on the same drive as the system directory. To use the default system and working directory names, simply choose Continue.

If you prefer to use different drive and/or directory names, type the name(s) in the System Directory and/or Working Directory boxes. You can specify a drive on your hard disk or a network; however, Altera recommends using your hard disk for best performance. You can also choose Select Directory to open the Install Directory Browser dialog box, which allows you to view and select different drive and directory names on your computer system.

If you enter a directory name that does not exist, the Install program offers to create it for you.

You should not enter the same directory name for both the system and working directories: future upgrades to MAX+PLUS II will erase all files in the system directory.


Install Directory Browser Dialog Box
Install Directory Browser

This dialog box allows you to view the disk drive and directory structure(s) on your computer system, so that you can select appropriate locations for the MAX+PLUS II system and working directories. The title bar of the dialog box shows whether you are selecting a system or working directory. This dialog box also shows the available disk space on each disk drive.

The currently selected drive and directory names for installing MAX+PLUS II are shown under Current Directory. To choose a different drive name, click mouse Button 1 (the left mouse button) on the Drive drop-down list box and scroll through the list until you find the desired drive name. You can select a drive on your hard disk or a network; however, Altera recommends using your hard disk for best performance. To choose a different directory, scroll through the list of available directory names and double-click Button 1 on a name to select it.

When the correct drive and directory are displayed under Current Directory (and optionally in the New Directory box) choose OK to continue the installation. If you wish to create a new subdirectory of the Current Directory, type the new directory name in the New Directory box.


Non-Existent Directory Dialog Box
Non-Existent Directory

This dialog box appears if you enter a directory name that does not exist.

If you would like to create a new directory with the specified name, choose Yes to create it and continue the installation. If you do not want to create the new directory, choose No to return to the previous dialog box, where you can enter a different directory name.


Pre-Existing Version System Directory Dialog Box
Pre-Existing Version System Directory

This dialog box appears if a version of MAX+PLUS II already exists in the specified system directory name.

You can choose Continue to overwrite the existing version of MAX+PLUS II. Choose Cancel to return to the previous dialog box, where you can enter a different system directory name.

When you choose Continue, the Install program will immediately delete the existing version of MAX+PLUS II to free up disk space for installing the new version of MAX+PLUS II.


Pre-Existing Version Working Directory Dialog Box
Pre-Existing Version Working Directory

This dialog box appears if the working directory name you specified already exists.

The Install program creates the following subdirectories of the working directory. If these directories already exist, MAX+PLUS II will overwrite the files in the directories:

ahdl

chiptrip

edif

tutorial

t-bird

To overwrite the contents of these subdirectories, choose OK. To preserve your existing working directory, choose the Cancel button to return to the previous dialog box, where you can enter a different working directory name.


Personalize MAX+PLUS II Dialog Box
Personalize MAX+PLUS II

This dialog box allows you to personalize MAX+PLUS II by specifying your name and your company name. The names you enter in this dialog box will be automatically inserted into title blocks that you enter in a Graphic Design File (.gdf).

MAX+PLUS II Installation Options Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Installation Options

This dialog box allows you to select one of three types of installation:

Purchased Installation

Custom Installation

Full Installation

Purchased Installation

Choose Purchased to install only the MAX+PLUS II applications and features that you have purchased. If you have not purchased all possible MAX+PLUS II features, this option will minimize disk space usage by installing only those features that your authorization code allows you to use. If you choose this option, you will be required to enter your authorization code.

Custom Installation

Choose Custom to customize your MAX+PLUS II installation, by choosing only specific applications and features to install.

Custom installation allows you to install features that you plan to purchase later or that you did not install earlier. If you are currently using the Install program to add features that you did not install earlier, you may need to enter a new authorization code to enable these features when you next start MAX+PLUS II.

Full Installation

Choose Full to install all MAX+PLUS II applications and features. Choose this option if you have sufficient disk space and know that you will be purchasing more options in the future.


MAX+PLUS II Authorization Code Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Authorization Code

This dialog box allows you to specify an authorization code that enables MAX+PLUS II software features.

Your authorization code identifies you as an approved MAX+PLUS II user and encodes the features you have purchased. You must enter your authorization code to allow the Install program to determine which parts of MAX+PLUS II to install. Type the 24-character authorization code provided by Altera in the Authorization Code box. Type upper- and lowercase letters exactly as they are given (the code is case-sensitive). Once you have entered your authorization code, choose Continue.

If your authorization code is not available, you can choose Cancel to return to the MAX+PLUS II Installation Options dialog box. You can then select the Full or Custom type of installation, which do not require you to enter an authorization code.


MAX+PLUS II Custom Installation Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Custom Installation

This dialog box allows you to customize your MAX+PLUS II installation.

System Directory & Working Directory

These options show the system and working directory names you entered earlier.

To change either the system or working directory, choose Select Directory to open the Install Directory Browser dialog box, which allows you to view and select different drive and directory names on your computer system.

Optional MAX+PLUS II Features

These options specify the MAX+PLUS II applications and features to install.

The VHDL option is available only if you turn on the Compiler option.

The Device Families button opens the MAX+PLUS II Device Family Support dialog box, which allows you to choose one or more Altera device families to support. This button is available only if you turn on the Compiler or Programmer option.

You must install the device families that you wish to compile or program.

Only the features that you install here will be available when you run MAX+PLUS II.

The bottom of the MAX+PLUS II Custom Installation dialog box shows the available and required space for the system and working drives. These numbers reflect the changes you make in your customization. When the drive name for both the system and working drives is the same (e.g., if both are c:), the available space for the working directory consists of the remaining space in the system directory after the MAX+PLUS II software and macrofunctions are installed.

Choose the Install button to continue installation when you have finished entering customization options for MAX+PLUS II.


MAX+PLUS II Device Family Support Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Device Family Support

This dialog box allows you to install compilation support for one or more Altera device families.

The amount of space required for installation, shown at the bottom of the dialog box, changes to reflect the device family or families you select.

Only the compilation support that you install here will be available when you run MAX+PLUS II.

After you select the support you need, choose OK to return to the MAX+PLUS II Custom Installation dialog box.


MAX+PLUS II Installation Summary Dialog Box
MAX+PLUS II Installation Summary

This dialog box summarizes the information you have entered for the MAX+PLUS II installation. If all information is correct, choose Yes to continue installation.

If you need to modify any of the settings specified in this dialog box, choose No. The Install program will repeat the sequence of dialog boxes needed to specify the installation settings, starting with the system and working directory names.

This dialog box offers you a last chance to change your installation settings. Once you choose Yes to continue the installation, the Install program will begin to copy files onto your computer system.


MAX+PLUS II Installation Diskette Dialog Box

Be sure to read the read.me file before you run MAX+PLUS II for the first time. This file contains descriptions of last-minute changes to the software, information that was not incorporated into the printed documentation or on-line help, and other important information. The read.me file is displayed automatically after you choose OK in this dialog box.

The read.me file is also available on the first installation diskette or in the \pc\maxplus2 directory on the CD-ROM. When you are running MAX+PLUS II, you can also choose the READ.ME command on the Help menu to re-display the file.

The Install program may also have either installed Win32s files or updated the existing version of Win32s files on your computer system. Any previous versions of these files are saved with .bak extensions. See Win32s Files Updated by MAX+PLUS II Installation for details.
