Corrected, Wengier try again.....

It has been corrected, Wengier, try again.....

Not bad..

In addition, it can be modified. When selecting "DOS Command Only" or "Minimal DOS System", the second installation disk may not be needed. Only when selecting "Full installation" is it necessary, so as to avoid wasting time..

I want to ask, can this be installed and used under the C drive where Windows ME is installed? Thank you!

It can be installed. However, unless there is a multi - system boot program, WinME and MS - DOS 7.10 cannot achieve dual - boot.


In addition, I want to ask, when choosing the installation method of "Full installation", is it better to put the two large programs MSBACKUP and DOSSHELL directly into the DOS installation folder selected by the user, or into the separate MSBACKUP and DOSSHELL folders above it? After all, if the user enters the MSBACKUP or DOSSHELL command in other paths after installation, it may possibly appear the information "Bad command or file name".

Okay. Please upload the latest version of the installation program, and then I will continue to organize and update it...

Update again!!
The download address remains the same.

There are still some small bugs in that latest Installer.

The small bugs have all been corrected.
The download address remains the same.

May I ask whether the above floppy disk installation version needs to be extracted first when installing to the hard disk? Also, can a single disk be used for a simple version installation?

The following is the speech quoted from 1651gz on July 28, 2003 14:47:06:
Does the above floppy disk installation version need to be decompressed first when installing to the hard disk?

After downloading, decompress it and then use HD-COPY to write the image file to the floppy disk, and then you can start with disk 1.

The following is the speech quoted from 1651gz on July 28, 2003 14:47:06:
Can you use only one disk for a simplified installation?

Yes

Hehe, not bad, it's getting more and more like that.

Suggestion: In addition to the original DOS commands, add some more content. For example, there are many good tools in the DOS boot disk. Make DOS 7.10 go beyond the current "scope" and let it do more things.

First, the suggestion is to add network functions in it. As a complete OS currently, it should be able to support the network well. It doesn't require supporting all network cards, which is impossible to achieve. Even Win2003 can't, and it still needs necessary drivers, but it also comes with a large number of drivers.

In addition, the large programs MSBACKUP and DOSSHELL can be placed in another directory, and then a bat file can be made in the installation directory to call these large programs through this bat file. If other large tools are also to be added, this method can also be used to handle them, avoiding too many messy files in the installation directory.

Okay, I have made quite a few updates to this MS-DOS 7.10 floppy disk installation version! For example, added code to let users select the code page for long filenames through the menu (including English CP437, Simplified Chinese CP936, Traditional Chinese CP950, etc.), let users select programs loaded when the system starts through the menu (such as CTMOUSE, SMARTDRV, etc.), can install with one floppy disk (however, programs like DOSSHELL will not be included when installing with one floppy disk), added some dialog box functions, etc., and followed what stlily said to "place the large programs MSBACKUP and DOSSHELL in another directory, then make a bat file in the installation directory, and call these large programs through this bat file".

Functions not yet added:
1: Related to GDISK (such as partitioning, formatting, judging whether the active partition is a non-DOS partition, etc.), this will be completed by Roy;
2: Adding other content as mentioned by stlily (such as network functions). However, once the installation program is made very powerful and stable, it will start to be added.

To Wengier: GDISK 1.0.e(BETA) has been uploaded Open attachment

Okay, the GDISK function has been added! Now it's basically relatively complete. Everyone is welcome to download and use it! The download address remains the same.

Hehe~~~
I also updated~~
