- 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 various 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.
