INSTALLATION After you run the SW_130.EXE self-extracting file, you find all of the installation files. These files should be placed in the same temporary subdirectory (e.g. C:\TEMP). If you would like to give someone else the ScoutWare setup files on diskette, then SW_130.EXE needs to be extracted using "-d" as the command line qualifier. The command line from DOS is: SW_130.EXE -d This will cause the setup files to be unzipped into two subdirectories, DISK1 and DISK2. We have done this to make it easier for you to distribute the software to other scouters. Now you are ready to setup ScoutWare. From the Windows Program Manager, select File and then Run from the pull-down menu. On the command line type C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE and click OK. The setup program will then do the rest.
