Important notes regarding Sherlock V2.06
We have now released v2.06 of Sherlock, which greatly enhances the detection capabilities, and allows us to provide more regular updates to the virus definition files. However, at this moment, the current Reflex Disknet for Windows 9x setup program is unable to install this new version, due to the fact that Sherlock now has some new files which are not installed or configured by the current Disknet 9x setup program.
It should be noted, that Sherlock v2.06 CANNOT be run from the network drive – therefore, it needs to be installed locally on the machine.
There are 3 scenarios to consider when installing both Reflex Disknet for Windows 9x and the new Sherlock v2.x scanner:
1) Disknet is not installed on this machine If you wish to install Reflex Disknet on a Windows 9x machine, you will need to use the Sherlock v1.31 disk when prompted for the Sherlock disk. Once Reflex Disknet for Windows 9x is correctly installed, you can upgrade Sherlock v1.31 to Sherlock v2.06 by running the Sherlock UPGRADE.EXE program found on disk 1 of Sherlock v2.06. There will be a new version of the Reflex Disknet for Windows 9x setup program, which will prevent these additional stages in the forthcoming new release of Reflex Disknet for Windows 9x at the end of February 2000.
2) Disknet and Sherlock are already installed on this machine and Sherlock is installed in the c:\disknet directory. Run Sherlock UPGRADE.EXE found on Disk 1 of Sherlock v2.06
3) Disknet and Sherlock are already installed on this machine but Sherlock is not installed in the c:\disknet directory Run UPGRADE /NEW=C:\directory (wherever Sherlock v1.31 is installed)
