To Install HP LaserRX/MPE on the PC HP LaserRX/MPE requires Microsoft Windows 3.0. It is strongly recommended that you do not proceed with the installation or update procedure until you have successfully installed and configured Microsoft Windows 3.0 on your PC. HP LaserRX/MPE software should be installed--or updated--on the HP 3000 before you install or update HP LaserRX/MPE software on the personal computer (PC).
CAUTION Customers updating from the A version software--as indicated by program banner lines or the HP LaserRX/MPE About dialog box--to this B version of the software will have to convert their HP LaserRX/MPE logfiles. Both host and PC software must be updated at the same time since B version software collects and analyzes only B version logfiles, and A version software collects and analyzes only A version logfiles. If you have an interim need to analyze logfiles produced by both A and B version host software, the B version PC software should be installed in a different subdirectory than the A version software.
