10.2 The strip of assistant Rosetta is not displayed 

R : If you work under Windows 95, it can happen that, when launching assistant Rosetta, you get the message aastex.exe Un périphérique attaché au système ne fonctionne pas correctement (?A device attached to the system doesn't function correctly?), then a second message Le fichier msvbvm50.dll est lié à une exportation manquante (The msvbvm50.dll file is bound to a missing export ??) These messages indicate that some Windows libraries, necessary to the execution of assistant AsTeX, are too old or are not installed (they appear in Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP, but not in grass-roots Windows 95). To install them or update them, launch the complete installation program of assistant AsTeX. To this end, open the folder Rosetta on the desktop and double click on the icon Install Assistant AsTeX (cf. Fig. 2.2).

Si vous obtenez le message L'installation ne peut continuer parce que certains de vos fichiers système sont périmés (?The installation cannot continue because some of your system files are obsolete?) click on the button OK to launch the update of these files. A last message of information is displayed: Click on the button Yes to restart Windows. After restarting the PC, try to restart the assistant by clicking on the button Assistant Rosetta. If you get the message Le composant anibtn32.ocx n'est pas enregistré correctement (The anibtn32.ocx component is not recorded correctly): launch the assistant's installation program a second time, while proceeding as above. This will install the Windows libraries that are missing on your hard disk and will record them correctly in the registry database of Windows.

To verify that the installation is finished, click on the icon Assistant Rosetta of the desktop. Normally, the assistant's strip ought to appear. If it does not, refer to the part Troubleshooting of the installation manual of AsTeX.

The above procedure installs a complete copy of assistant AsTeX on the hard disk. The latter is fully functional only when the AsTeX distribution is installed, and it is not used with the Rosetta CD-ROM (only the Windows libraries are used). You can therfore uninstall this copy, if you don't use the AsTeX distribution and that you wish to free a little room on the hard disk. To this end, launch the standard uninstallation procedure of Windows (configuration panel of Windows, icon Addition / Suppression de programmes (?adding / deleting programs?)), select the element Aastex, click on the button Ajouter/Supprimer (?Add/Delte?) then, in the toolbar Composants partagés (?shared components?), click on the button Ne rien retirer (?nothing to withdraw?) to keep the libraries. Once the logical uninstallation is done, there remains to suppress the directory C:\ast on the hard disk, and to restart the installation of the Rosetta CD-ROM to reinstall the few files of this directory used by the Rosetta distribution.

Attention : If you use the AsTeX distribution, do not destroy the directory C:\ast.
