Installing VirtuaCD

Installing VirtuaCD for the first time is a simple process - simply run VCDInst. This application will take you through the steps needed to provide it with the information required to install the product:

  1. Your name, or your organisation's name

    [Entering your name or organisation's
name]

  2. The enabler code

    [Entering the enabler code]

    You must have either a base license code or an evaluation code in order to be able to install the product. An evaluation code can be obtained free of charge by emailing virtuacd@pep-assoc.co.uk

  3. The location for VCDLoader

    [Specifying where to install VCDLoader]

    VCDLoader loads the VirtuaCD driver and reconnects any saved image-to-drive associations.

  4. The location for CDtoHD

    [Specifying where to install CDtoHD]

    CDtoHD allows you to capture a CD-ROM image for use with VirtuaCD.

  5. The location for VirtuaCD

    [Specifying where to install VirtuaCD]

    VirtuaCD allows you to specify which images are associated with which virtual CDFS drive.

Once these steps have been accomplished, the software will be installed:

If you entered an evaluation license code, the installer will confirm the expiration date of the evaluation:

[Evaluation expiration]

If you entered a base license code, the installer will give you the details which must then be sent back to PEP Associates in order to receive an authorisation code which will stop the base license from expiring:

After the installation is complete, you will then need to reconfigure CDFS for the appropriate number of drives and reboot the computer. As the computer boots, you should see a brief message confirming that the VirtuaCD driver has been loaded and how many virtual drivers are available.

Subsequent updates to the VirtuaCD product are achieved by re-running the installer and choosing the Update VirtuaCD applications button:
