--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Workstation and Server U.S. Service Pack 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents -------- 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack 4 2.1 User Notes 2.2 List of Bugs Fixed in Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack 4 1.0 Introduction ----------------- This release of Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) 3.51 U.S. Service Pack 4 is easy to apply from within Windows NT and changes only those files that were originally set up on the Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server system. Service Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all previous fixes, as well as any new fixes made to the system. 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT U.S. Service Pack ------------------------------------------------------------------- Installing the Service Pack from a floppy disk: 1. Insert Service Pack Disk 1 into the floppy drive. 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that floppy drive (that is, A: or B:) and type UPDATE. 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen. Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM: 1. Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive. 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then change to the i386, MIPS, ALPHA, or PPC directory (depending upon whether you have an Intel(TM), MIPS(R), ALPHA AXP(TM) or PowerPC(R) CPU), and type UPDATE. 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen. Installing the Service Pack from a network drive: 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the network drive on which the Service Pack files reside. 2. Change to that network drive and type UPDATE. 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen. 2.1 User Notes --------------- *** New ROUTE.EXE Command Line Argument A new command line argument for ROUTE.EXE has been added in Service Pack 4. The new parameter is METRIC, and is described below: ROUTE [-f] [command [destination] [MASK netmask] [gateway] [METRIC metric]] METRIC The metric option is used to associate a cost/hop count for the destination specified by the route entry. Generally this specifies the distance in number of hops from the destination. If not specified, the metric is set to 1 by default. *** Emergency Repair Disk If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack, you will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is completed. This is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring your original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply follow the above Installation Instructions to reapply the Service Pack. IMPORTANT NOTICE: When using the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair your Windows NT system after applying the Service Pack, do not repair the file SAMSRV.DLL. If it is necessary to repair this file because it has become corrupt, you must replace it with the Service Pack version of the file. This is necessary because the Service Pack update process changes the user database, and the Service Pack version of SAMSRV.DLL is needed to allow the system to function properly. *** Adding New Components to the System If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to reapply the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the original Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the Service Pack disk set. It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer driver). New components must be installed from the original product media. *** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in Service Pack 4, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are installing the files for an x86 machine): XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS This will copy the Service Pack 4 .DBG files over the existing versions of these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .DBG files that are already installed (/U switch), and only those with a more recent time- date stamp (/D switch). *** Verifying the Proper Firmware for Powerized Systems To install Service Pack 4 on your Powerized system, you should first verify your Firmware is up-to-date. Your Firmware should have a date of Oct. 5, 1995, or later. This information is displayed during the system's boot. Optionally, you may use the fw-title command to verify this. If you have an earlier Firmware date, contact your hardware manufacturer to get the latest release of the Firmware. *** New APIs Available with Service Pack 4 Service Pack 4 contains 3 additions to the Win32 API: Fibers ------ A fiber is a lightweight thread that is manually scheduled. Fibers do not provide advantages over a well-designed multithreaded application. However, fibers can make it easier to port applications that were designed to schedule their own threads. Specific fiber APIs include: ConvertThreadToFiber() CreateFiber() DeleteFiber() GetCurrentFiber() GetFiberData() SwitchToFiber() Winsock Enhancement ------------------- Two new APIs, AcceptEx() and GetAcceptExSockaddrs(), have been added to the Windows Sockets family. AcceptEx() provides a way to asynchronously accept a connection, obtain the local and remote addresses for the connection, and receive the first block of data, all within a single call. Directory Monitoring -------------------- One new API, ReadDirectoryChangesW(), has been added to enhance an application's ability to monitor directories. It allows an application to receive notification whenever a change occurs in a directory. These changes include file modifications, renames, and deletions. Unlike FindFirstChangeNotification(), this API will return the full name of the affected file. For complete details on these APIs, including headers, libraries and sample code, see the Win32 SDK Addendum for Service Pack 4, available in the "For Developers Only" section of the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/devonly. 2.2 List of Bugs Fixed in Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack 4 -------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Use the Qxxxxxx number that precedes the title of the bug fix to query the Microsoft Knowledge Base to find an article about that bug.
