===== Installation =====================================
Power Planner is a Windows Program, and requires
MS Windows 3.1 (or later), Windows NT, or
Windows 95 to run.
If you are installing from a downloaded copy
or ZIP File, proceed as follows:
Create a temporary directory on your hard
drive, (e.g. c:\PPDISKS)
Copy (or Unzip) the Power Planner files
into the temporary directory
There is a document, UNINSTAL.TXT,
included in the Power planner files in the
temporary directory. This describes
procedures for uninstalling Power Planner.
If you may wish to uninstall Power Planner
later, you should read this document before
continuning the installation.
From Windows 95:
Select the Start button
From Windows 3.1 or Windows NT
Select File from the Program Manager
Select Run
Enter the name of the directory you have created,
followed by 'setup' (e.g. C:\PPDISKS\SETUP)
Follow the instructions. In case of difficulty,
see the notes below.
Note that Windows does not handle dates beyond
1999 very well. If you are going to construct plans
that extend into and beyond the year 2000, you should
set your Windows short date format to a four digit
year, (i.e. yyyy instead of yy). This will avoid many
of the problems that Windows has in recognizing dates.
One important point. Do not make assumptions about
what you can move or change. Power Planner uses quite
a sophisticated setup. Install Power Planner in its
intended directory and leave it there. Any attempt to
reconfigure, change ini files setting etc. is likely
to result in the program failing to work. If you need
to move your program or data, registered users will be
given free support to make sure that any changes are
handled correctly.
When installation is complete and the program has
been running smoothly for some time you may delete
the temporary directory (C:\PPDISKS). You may wish
to keep a backup of the ZIP file.
Difficulty with installing/reinstalling
---------------------------------------
If you have problems with installation, proceed as
follows:
1) For the time being, disable any programs from
starting automatically when Windows starts.
2) Disable any utility programs.
3) Check whether the install program has created the
file CCPPDLL.DLL in your Windows System directory,
and if so remove it.
3) Check whether the install program has created the
file POWRPLAN.INI in your Windows directory, and
if so remove it.
4) Check whether the install program has created the
Power Planner directory (default C:\POWRPLAN),
and if so remove it with all sub-directories.
5) Shut down your system, switch off the computer,
restart the computer, and start Windows.
6) Do not start any other programs.
7) Try running the Power Planner setup program again.
8) If difficulties persist, email Sphygmic Software with
an outline of what you have done, a complete
description of the problem, a list of your operating
software and version, the type of computer including
amount of RAM installed, and any peripherals that you
are using. Email address: 100343.1144@compuserve.com
Uninstall Procedures
--------------------
This document deals with uninstalling Power Planner
in two different circumstances:
Temporary uninstall
Permanent removal from system
Temporary Uninstall
-------------------
You may wish temporarily uninstall Power Planner,
in preparation to re-install the product because of
a corrupt or messed up system, Before you do so,
remember that if you have backed up your database
when exiting Power Planner, you may restore it when
loading, and this may solve your problem. If you are
sure that you want to uninstall the software, proceed
as follows:
1) If you are a registered user, and Power Planner is
still runnning, you should deactivate the security
system by selecting Options, then Deactivate from
the main menu when using the Network Edit View.
2) Remove the Power Planner Directory with all
sub-directories
3) Delete the file POWRPLAN.INI from the Windows
directory
4) Delete the file CCPPDLL.DLL from the Windows System
directory
5) Reboot the computer before attempting to re-install
Power Planner.
6) If you experience installation difficulties, make
sure that no other programs are running when you
install Power Planner. If you still have
difficulties try removing programs from your startup
group, and reboot to start Windows cleanly.
Permanent Uninstall
-------------------
First, remove the Power Planner directory, then remove
the files POWRPLAN.INI and PPSETUP.EXE from the Windows
directory. Power Planner installs or replaces the
files listed below in your Windows System directory.
If any of these files are already present, and the
version is the same or later than that required by Power
Planner, then Power Planner will not overwrite them.
Note that if you simply remove these files, Power Planner
will certainly be fully uninstalled, but you may remove
files required by another program. You should make a note
of files in the Windows System directory before you
install Power Planner. When you uninstall Power Planner
do not delete any files In the Windows System directory
that were present before Power Planner was installed.
This process may seem rather 'user unfriendly' but it is
the only SAFE method for uninstalling a program.
