II. Installing the Software
To install the software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95, open the
file 'SETUP.EXE' in the directory in which the files of the program
are located. SETUP will guide you through the install process by
means of a wizard. Depending on the way in which you received the
software (on a floppy disk, in a directory on a CD-ROM or in a self-
extracting archive) there are the following possibilities to execute
'SETUP.EXE':
- Installing by using the start menu...
Insert the floppy disk or the CD-ROM on which the T.N.T. files are
located in the corresponding drive and choose 'Run' from the Windows(R)
start menu. Afterwards you can enter the path of the file 'SETUP.EXE'
in the 'Open' edit control of the 'Run' dialog box. For instance, if
the file is on a floppy disk in drive 'A:', you would enter:
A:\SETUP.EXE
Then press the 'OK' button in the 'Run' dialog box. (Note: If the file
is in a directory on a CD-ROM, enter the corresponding path.)
- Installing out of a self-extracting archive...
If you received T.N.T. in the form of the self-extracting archive
'TNTWIN95.EXE' (for instance, by downloading the file with your modem),
proceed as described above to open the self-extracting archive by means
of the 'Run' option of the Windows(R) start menu. For instance, if the
archive is in the 'DOWNLOAD' directory on drive 'C:' is, enter
C:\DOWNLOAD\TNTWIN95.EXE
and press the 'OK' button in the 'Run' dialog box. Then a dialog named
'The Next Tool - Self-Extracting Archive' appears in which you can enter
the target directory for the extraction of the files. As soon as all
files are extracted you can run 'SETUP.EXE' directly.
III. Updating a Version that was Previously Installed
To update a version of the software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95
that was previously installed, run the install wizard 'SETUP.EXE' of
the new version as described above.
When overwriting an old version, you have the chance to keep your old
configuration files 'TNTWIN.INI' and 'TNTWIN.ICS', so your personal
settings will not be lost.
Anyway, please use 'SETUP.EXE' to update the software, so that
entries in the registry and other system parameters can be updated
and all improvements and extensions of the new versions become
effective.
