This program will run you through all the options you have for installing the software. The demo uses files that are stored in the following directories: \AUDIO - Audio clips for the GC demo \DEM_DATA - 3D model data \IMAGES - Images for demo \VIDEO - Video clips for demo \VFWRT - Video For Windows Run/Time (not needed with Win 95) SPECIAL NOTE: If you have any problems running the programs on the CD-ROM, first make sure that you copy all the files from the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on the CD rom into the same directory on your hard drive. IMPORTANT**** All of the files in the directory \VBMAGIC are assigned read-only attribute because they are stored on the CD-ROM. To run some of the VB programs in this directory, you must: (1) copy the files to your hard drive (2) set the attribute of the files to read-write. To help you copy the files to your hard drive and set the proper attributes, a .BAT file is included on the CD-ROM called PROGINST.BAT This file installs all of the VB programs, source files, and other related files to your hard disk. Use this command as follows: PROGINST Source drive is the name of your CD drive and traget drive is the name of the hard drive where you plan to install the files. The program will automatically create a VBMAGIC directory on your hard drive, copy the files and directories, and the change the read-only tag off.
