Manual Installation of HWMan Class

This is also a good example on how to install a WPS Class manually on OS/2 and eComStation.

Manual Installation
Use this instructions only if you don't want to use the WarpIN installer. This is the manual way to register a class on WPS.

Instructions:
 * 1) copy the DLL (hwman.dll) to a convenient place
 * 2) open XWorkplace "WPS class list" object[[Image:1 - hwman.png|thumb|2. Using the WPS Class List Utility]]
 * 3) Do right click in class tree and select "register new class", select the DLL (hwman.dll) and specify "WPHwManagerEx" as the class to register
 * 4) refresh the "WPS class list" view by hitting F5 or do a WPS restart until "WPHwManagerEx" shows up in the "WPS class list" class tree
 * 5) open XWorkplace "WPS class list" object
 * 6) right click on "WPHwManager" and select "replace by subclass" (or whatever it's called in English)
 * 7) in the dialog select "WPHwManagerEx" which is a subelement of "WPHwManager"
 * 8) hit "OK
 * 9) restart WPS

If you attach and detach USB devices, you will need to hit F5 in the HWManager view to trigger an update of the view(s) (as always). I could implement a secondary thread to trigger the update on a regular basis but I didn't (save CPU for more important things).

The manual installation of this software is not longer necessary since it came with a WPI installer to register the WPS class without problems. The procedure is just listed here for information purposes.
