Development Tools Used

Environment	Visual Basic 5.0 Professional

Program

Program DirectControl

Name     DCONTROL.EXE

Installation Requirements

This program requires the Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Runtimes. These are standard Microsoft support files, which are necessary to run any modern application written in the Visual Basic 5 programming language.  You can download these Runtime files from one of the links listed below:

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/3dfxmania/utility/vb5rtsp3.exe

ftp://mirrors.telepac.pt/pub/3dfxmania/utility/vb5rtsp3.exe

Please make sure VB5 Runtimes are installed BEFORE you try to install DirectControl. Just double-click on the EXE or ZIP file to update/install all the latest runtime DLL files from Microsoft.  These will be useful for many other new programs as well.

NOTE: You may be prompted to reboot during the runtimes installation process and required to run the installation a second time after your system reboots. This is often necessary to update the OLE automation DLL files that may be in use at the time.

It is not necessary to first uninstall your previous version of DirectControl.  This new version will overwrite any previous installations. The DirectControl installation will install the following files to your hard drive in the DirectControl (DCONTROL) directory:

DControl.exe

DControl.hlp

These files will be installed to your windows system directory:

COMDLG32.OCX
