Windows automatic installation
------------------------------
Your DeskNite package is installed simply by double clicking on
the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
DeskNite.zip to a folder of your choosing. We suggest a temporary
folder in your Windows\Temp\ directory.
Highly recommendend is the excellent WinZip utility. Winzip will automate
the DeskNite setup with just a press of the Install button on the
Winzip toolbar.
You can get the latest version of Winzip from
http://www.winzip.com
We DO NOT recommend the use of utilities which render zip files
transparent or which interfere in some way with normal file-system
operations. These include Zip Magic and the Windows 98 'compact folders'
facility. We hereby disclaim any obligation to support problems brought
about by your use of such utilities with DeskNite. All such use is
entirely at your own risk.
