To use: Run setup. You may need to restart your computer. If, after doing all of this, the program still does not run, e-mail bluefrog@usa.net and I'll try to help you.
PLEASE READ: SystemConfig 1.0 Final Beta was compiled with Visual Basic 5.0 Service Pack 2. Users of previous versions of SystemConfig may very well have to download a new set of VB5 Runtime Files to ensure proper compatibility. I apologize for any inconvenience, but this was a Microsoft product decision, and I am sure that in the long run this update will improve stability and efficiency. These files are available at my web site. (The comctl32.ocx and comdlg32.ocx files have also been updated, but are included in the new VB5 Runtime .zip file. There is no need to download the new com-ocx.zip file also.)
NOTICE: SystemConfig requires the VB 5.0 runtime files (msvbvm50.dll and others) and the latest version of comctl32.ocx (version 5.01.4319). If you do not have these files please see my web site for more information on how to download them. The address is:
http://user.icx.net/~reuscher/download.htm
Please do not e-mail me if you get an error message saying you do not have msvbvm50.dll. Just download the proper files :)

SystemConfig 1.0 is now officially feature complete. Future betas will primarily be bug fixes and updates to allow compatibility with future versions of IE 4.0.
> Deleting zip.exe and unzip.exe will cause the backup function to go a bit craaaazy. Please just don't delete these files if you're using this feature.
> If you get an system error like this:
System error &H80004005 (-2147467259) - Unknown error or an unknown error with code '50003' during setup
it basically means that you need to get the most recent comctl32.ocx file. It's available for download at my web site.
If you're not going to register, thus not using the System Files Backup feature, then you may safely delete the following files from the c:\program files\little blue frog\systemconfig directory:
batch.bat
batch.pif
unzip32.exe
unzip32.pif
zip.exe
conagent.pif
Also, if you're not going to use the IMNtegrate! feature you can delete these files:
add.inf
remove.inf
Please do not delete any other files (excluding the ones used for setup) or else you will have unexpected results running SystemConfig. Also, do not delete the files before running setup.
SystemConfig is freely distributable as long as you let me know that you've done so (SimTel and its mirror sites are exempt). This readme.txt file, in its original form, MUST be included in the zip file. No registration codes or key generators may be given with this file, or distributed in any way (i.e. via web page, mailing list, etc.) Doing so is software piracy and as such is reportable to both proper legal authorities as well as your ISP.
