Installing TERM Professional 3.3 on Window NT 4.0, you may see the error “Sesman.exe unable to locate rasapi32.dll.” This happens when RAS is not installed in Windows NT. To bypass the error, either uncheck the Desktop Manager option in the TERM Professional install, or install the RAS option on Windows before installing TERM Professional.

To install TERM for UNIX manually, login as root or a user with equivalent permissions. Then do the following:
- Create the directory where TERM will reside:
md /usr/term
- Copy the install files into this directory.
- Extract (untar) the files. For example:
tar xvf cmdfile1.tar
tar xvf cmdfile2.tar
tar xvf cmdfile3.tar
tar xvf termi6.tar
Replace termi6.tar with the correct install file. You may not have the separate cmdfile#.tar files either, depending on your flavor of UNIX.
- Move the term, callin and callout files to /usr/bin:
mv term callin callout /usr/bin
- Change permissions on the moved files:
chmod 555 /usr/bin/term
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/callin /usr/bin/callout
- Brand the TERM executable with the command:
./brand /usr/bin/term
Enter your serial number and activation key when prompted to do so. Please remember that both are case-sensitive.
The install will be complete at this point.

This error comes up from TinyTERM Plus 3.2 on Windows 98 when installing LPD. It happens despite the directory C:\Century clearly containing the necessary information.
To get rid of the error, do the following:
- Remove the Marlpd icon from the system tray by right-clicking it and selecting Exit.
- Type Ctrl-Alt-Del and end all marlpd tasks that show.
- Go into the Century directory and run marlpd manually.

This error happens installing TinyTERM 3.x to Windows 3.1. It means there is a 32-bit driver loading somewhere in Windows.
To bypass the error, you will need to locate the 32-bit driver causing the problem, then disable it until TinyTERM is installed. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. Check the documentation on other installed software to see which program might be causing this.

If the install stops, or if it causes the PC to hang on reboot, there are a few steps to try. Do the following one at a time, testing the install after each.
- Close all background tasks, especially virus and spyware scanners. Other Internet-enabled software should be closed as well.
- Run Scandisk to clean up any disk errors.
- Empty the Recycle Bin to free disk space. Delete all temporary files as well.
- Defragment the hard drive. This one should be saved for last, as it will take some time.
If none of these work, locate the zipse directory on the TinyTERM CD. Copy the file ttpl.exe from that directory to your hard drive. Then boot the PC in safe mode and install from that copied file.
If you need the Network Utilities, also copy netutils.exe from the same directory. Run it immediately after the ttpl.exe program finishes.

TinyTERM Plus 3.2 comes with a Marathon TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.1. If you want to install without it, edit the PC’s AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT, REM out everything except ECHO, PROMPT and PATH commands. In the CONFIG.SYS, REM out everything except FILES, BUFFER, HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.
Restart your PC after this. When you install TinyTERM, you will be able to bypass the Marathon portion.

This happens on Windows 95 when there is insufficient space on the C: drive. You will need to free up about 20 Mb of space before attempting the install again.NOTE: If you have already started an install, you need to remove any Century folders, Marathon or Marsetup files before trying to install again.

This error comes up when installing TinyTERM 3.2 on Windows 3.1. It’s caused by one of two things:
- Multiple Winsocks are installed on the PC. Remove them and reinstall only one.
- No Winsock is installed on the PC. Install one before installing TinyTERM.

Installing TinyTERM on Windows 3.1, it may ask for an IP address, even if you plan a serial connection. When this happens, click the Back button and deselect the network installation.
