Alternative Steps

It is perfectly fine to install a unique (not shared) copy of A-Shell on each PC, if you think there will be some benefit from that approach. One possible reason for this approach is that you want individual PC users to be in charge of their own updates. Obviously, each user must be running her own copy if she wants her own update.

When you run the A-Shell installation program, use the default install-to directory of c:\vm\miame. This puts a copy of all the A-Shell files on the local machine, and miame.ini will be configured to run that copy of A-Shell.

However, you must manually modify the Windows shortcut or start menu command that invokes A-Shell so that it knows to look on the server for the initialization file miame.ini.

Refer to Installation Problems and the discussions about miame.ini for information on the necessary modifications and, if necessary, troubleshooting steps.
