- áInstallation:
- á-----------------------
-
- áNote: You must have administrator privilege on NT/XP
- machines. Trying to install on NT/XP without
- administrator privilige will result in an error
- message and an uncompleted installation.
-
- By installing DMEXBar you accept the disclamer, below.
-
- To install DMEXBar:
-
- -> 1.) Run the self extracting archive 'dmexbar.exe'.
- You have to specify a destination directory.
- A new subdirectory named 'dmexbar' will be created
- in the destination directory. The default destination
- directory is your 'Programs' directory. All newly
- created files will be located in the newly created
- subdirectory.
-
- NOTE FOR U P D A T E R S:
-
- You have to close all explorer windows otherwise the DLL
- will be in use and the extraction process will fail.
- Point the destination directory for extraction to the same
- you did the first time - not the dmexbar directory!
- Otherwise again a new subdirectory 'dmexbar' will be created.
-
- 2.) After the extraction process has finished the dmexbar
- helpfile will be opened. The installation process can be
- started from within this help file.
-
- 3.) Follow the link to the installation page in the help file.
- And click on the installation link, there.
- You may also use the program 'install.exe' from the
- DMEXBar directory.
-
- 4.) After finishing the installation open an explorer window.
- In case that DMEXBar is not visible by default in the
- explorer toolbar area after installation you have to
- do a right mouse button click in the explorer toolbar
- area or choose 'Toolbar' from the 'View' menu.
- A popup menu is shown with a list of all available toolbars.
- There you should see a new menu item named "Dmex Toolbar".
- Check this entry.
- If DMEXBar is not visible in the list of available toolbars,
- try to reboot windows to update that list.
-
- 5.) In some cases only the first button of Dmexbar is visible
- at the right border of the explorer toolbar.
- Move Dmexbar leftwards to see all buttons.
- If you have Internet Explorer 6 installed there exists an option
- to fix the Toolbars so they can't be moved and the grip of the
- toolbar is greyed, then. In that case, to move Dmexbar you first
- have to uncheck the option 'Fix Toolbars'.
-
-
- áMore information about DMEXBar can be found in the help file dmexbar.hlp.
-

- If you like DMEXBar or...
- you have any questions, troubles or complains:
- send me an e-mail.
