This section describes how to install the following OS/2 multimedia subsystems using the multimedia installation program (MINSTALL):

You can prepare script control files and if necessary, create an installation DLL file to install a subsystem. MINSTALL updates the appropriate INI files and CONFIG.SYS statements, providing a consistent installation process.

Most developers will use control files with the MINSTALL program to install a subsystem. MINSTALL is hardware independent and does not prompt the operating system for hardware information. Therefore, if information is required from the operating system or specific hardware, you need to write an installation DLL to use (in addition to control files). See Writing an Installation DLL for further information.
