Language selection
The installation can be canceled at any time - the way of how to do it is described at the corresponding installation windows. Before the cancelling of installation the user will be asked whether he is serious. After the confirmation of the cancelling of installation everything which has been installed till that time shall be removed and the system shall be placed in its initial status.
When you start AVAST32 installation you can choose the language , which you would like to communicate with in the program. Choosing a specific language from a list, which appears after a click on the arrow to the right form current language, can do the selection.
You will be asked to be patient while the installation is preparing after the language selection.
Once the preparation of the installation is finished, you will see the window of the installation program itself. The Wizard's window is situated in the center and it will help you with the whole installation process. Its lower part contains three buttons enabling you to communicating with Wizard instructions.
Button "< Back" takes you to the preceding window of the Wizard. If it cannot be used (e.g. if you are at the first installation step, then the button is gray. Button "Next >" takes you to the next step of the Wizard. Before using it, however, we recommend you reading thoroughly the contents of the Wizard's window. Hitting the "Cancel" button you can interrupt the installation process at any time.
The first window of the Wizard provides the user copyright ownership and warns him from unauthorized usage of the program or its parts. Having read it you would move to the next window of the Wizard by clicking on the "Next >" button.
The next installation program window contains the License Agreement between you and the ALWIL Software company. This License Agreement includes conditions that you, being a user of AVAST32, must agree with, and the rights which you have as a user of the program. If you agree with the License Agreement and to all of its parts, click on the "Yes" button. Then the Wizard will lead you to the next installation step. If you do not agree with the License Agreement, by clicking on the "No" button you will cancel the installation program and AVAST32 would not be installed then.
As the License Agreement is greater than the Wizard's window, it cannot be displayed as a whole. On the right side of the window you will find a slider enabling move in the License Agreement. Its indicator at the same time shows the current position. To display the remaining parts of the License Agreement it is also possible to use the keys designed for the cursor movement upwards and downwards, or the keys marked as "PgUp" and "PgDn" for the movement to previous or next page of the License Agreement.
The window that follows after the License Agreement window displays the README.TXT file. This file contains important information which we have not managed to insert into this documentation because of time limitations. The information may concern the program itself but also e.g. installation, and it may also contain procedure instructions in case of problems. In any case you should thoroughly read the README.TXT file - thus you will avoid possible complications in the future.
Within the displayed text it is possible to move in the same way as in case of the License Agreement in the previous Wizard's window. Also the window control is similar. If you have read the README.TXT file, by clicking on the "Yes" button you will come to the next Wizard's button. The "< Back" button will return you to previous window with the License Agreement and using the "No" button you will cancel the installation of AVAST32.
In the following window you are required by the Wizard to enter your name and your company's name (possibly also your address if the installation is designated for home use). The Wizard will try to find out required information by itself, so that most of the customers will be able to confirm preset data. If the data does not correspond to reality, it is of course possible to correct it. If you click with the left button of your mouse to the area of the text box with the data item in question, you will be able to edit it. On the place where you have pressed the mouse button you will see the cursor and using the keyboard you will be able to enter the correct data.
If the data displayed corresponds to the real situation, confirm it by clicking on the "Next >" button and get to the following window of the Wizard. The "< Back" button is used to return to the window with the README.TXT file and by using the "Cancel" button it is possible to interrupt the installation.
The next windows shows the Wizard's dialog into which it is necessary to enter the activation key of your program copy. To enter or change data in a particular text box will be possible for you by clicking the left mouse button on the corresponding box. It is also possible to move to the text box in question by repeating pressing the "Tab" key.
Be careful when typing the activation key. The program can not be installed without a valid key! You can install demo version if do not know the key. Just click on "Install DEMO version >".
Confirm the activation key by pressing "Next >" button, if the key is valid and correctly entered the Wizard let you proceed further. Otherwise you will get error message and you would have to check the activation key. By pressing "< Back" button you can go back to the registration window, where you can change name or company. "Cancel" button quits the installation program.
If the key was entered correctly a window offering change of AVAST32 installation folder would appear. The folder is in the "Destination Folder" frame. "ALWIL Software\AVAST32" is default folder which would be created on your system disk in "Program files" folder. This is recommended for most users. Others can choose target folder by clicking on the "Browse" button. Default installation target folder is really recommended for less experienced users. They can avoid possible problems this way.
Confirm the destination folder by pressing "Next >" button to proceed further. By pressing "< Back" button you can go back to the activation key window. "Cancel" button quits the installation program.
The next window offers selection of the folder name in program folder, where program icons should be created. "AVAST32 Antivirus" folder is selected by default. You can enter new folder name here or you can choose already existed folder from a displayed list.
Confirm the folder name by pressing "Next >" button to proceed further. By pressing "< Back" button you can go back to the previous window. "Cancel" button quits the installation program.
The following window displays all the information you have entered into the Wizard. It means that it contains the user's name, company's name or the address of the user, activation key of the program copy and destination folder, into which AVAST32 is supposed to be installed. We ask you to check the above listed data and if it is not suitable for you or if these data does not correspond to the real situation, you can return to the previous windows of the Wizard clicking the "< Back" button and correct it as appropriate. If everything is according to your requirements, by clicking on the "Next >" button you can start to install the files of the AVAST32 program onto your hard disk. By means of the "Cancel" button you can interrupt the installation.
An indicator in installation window informs you about amount of copied files. Once all files are installed installation wizard automatically goes to the next window.
The last window of the Wizard is shown in this Figure . It contains the radio buttons by means of which you can specify whether the computer is to be restarted or whether the installation program is to be completed without restarting your computer. We recommend you to keep the default radio button. By clicking on the "End" button you will finish the installation program and depending on the radio button selected your computer will (or will not) be restarted.
After the installation of the AVAST32 program and before its first start-up it is necessary to restart your computer. If you did not do so with the help of the Wizard in its last window, you would have to do it later by yourself. In the menu of the "Start" button select the "Shut Down ..." command. Then select the "Restart the computer?" radio button in the window displayed, and by pressing the "Yes" button you will restart your computer.
