iMac In-store Demo Installation Instructions

This in-store demo should be installed on an iMac computer with Mac OS 8.5 or later. Virtual memory should be turned on. Make sure QuickTime 3 is installed on the system (this should have shipped with Mac OS 8.5).

The installer installs “iMac In-store Demo Winter 1999” on the iMac. It places a demo launcher in the Startup Items folder so the demo starts automatically, and an Energy Saver preference file is added to the Preferences folder. It also adds an application and extension that automatically restarts the demo after three minutes if it has been quit and the system has been inactive. It does not change the system or current software in any other way.

This demo should not be installed on an iMac that has a previous version of the in-store demo. If this is the case, delete the previous version and the “iMac Demo Launcher Prefs” file in the Preferences folder of the system before installing.

Follow these steps:
 1.  nsert this CD-ROM and double-click “iMac In-store Installer.”
 2.  t the splash screen, click Continue.
 3.  hoose your startup disk as the installation location.
 4.  lick the Install button.
