The following file naming
convention standards are effective as of July 1, 2005.
Update Information
Update files may consist of one or more files to
download per platform. If an update requires two files,
you will need to download both to have the entire
update.
How to Decide
Choose the COMPLETE VERSION if you have never installed
this product before or if your version is more than one
release behind the current offering. Choose the UPDATE
version(s) if you are updating the last release only.
Self-extracting or Self-installing EXE?
After you have decided between COMPLETE and UPDATE, you
must select the file format. You may choose either the
self-extracting or self-installing format. When you run
the self-extracting file it automatically extracts the
compressed files. The self-installing file automatically
extracts the compressed files and then begins the
installation procedure; this file can be identified by
the "I" in its name. For example, "CE01ICE1.EXE"
File Naming Convention
Product file names will be made up of 8 sections:
The filename will look like this: "PDmmMRL#.xxx"
Where: 1. PD = 2 character Platform Description
Note: The platforms designated (*) became effective with
the CSAV v4.70 release.

f
One "hexadecimal" character designating the number of
same platform builds in a month in sequential order. (1
being the first build created that month (skip zero). It
is not expected to have more than "F" builds for a
single platform in any given month. F hexadecimal is
equivalent to 15 decimal.)
For example CE35ECE1.exe would translate to Windows 32
Bit Platform, Enterprise Version, May 2003 build, self
extracting, commercial, English build, the first build
created in the month. The builds will be archived
periodically. The archive will designate the year of the
build.
8. .xxx = Filename Extension. Most builds are
self-extracting or self-installing files, which are
designated as ".exe". Zip files have the extension
".zip".
Definition Files
Definition files are becoming more and more platform
specific. Definition files should be named as follows
for the following platforms:
# defmsp.exe - Windows 2000 definition files
# defcod.exe - Command on Demand (COD) definition files
(all the latest COD def files, rebuilt each time one or
more def file changes)
# macro.cab - COD equivalent of macros.def (single
update)
# sign.cab - COD equivalent of sign.def (single update)
# sign2.cab - COD equivalent of sign2.def (single
update)
# main.cab - will always accompany the above def files,
whether one or more change
# deffiles.exe - Windows (except 2000)
