INSTALL--Notes INSTALL does not create an environment for a program it loads. Therefore, slightly less memory is used if you load a program with INSTALL rather than from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Some programs might not run correctly if they are loaded with INSTALL. Do not use INSTALL to load programs that use environment variables or shortcut keys or that require COMMAND.COM to be present to handle critical errors. Order of CONFIG.SYS processing All INSTALL commands are processed after any of the DEVICE commands and before the command interpreter is loaded. You cannot load a memory-resident program before a device driver loaded with the DEVICE command.
