- Installing -

[ Download | Version History | Install ]
    This information will guide you through installing the Installer-version. If you have downloaded the smaller Experienced-user version - then you should know your way already.

    If you are already running a previous version of the program, then uninstall this version first.

    First, we make a temporary-folder on your harddisk. We then have to open the zip-file you just downloaded. Try clicking on the zip-file, or if that doesn't work download WinZip. If all this fails, try downloading the converter again or ask someone for help. Extract the files from the zip-file to the directory or folder we just made. Close the zip-file and start the program called 'install.exe' by clicking on it. This program will guide you through the installation-routine.

    If the installation-program exited, erase the temporary-folder we just made. Try locating the Currency Converter in the start-menu, and start the program.

    If this didn't go all that easy then don't worry, it is a bit tricky - working with Zip-files. In the near future I'll make the installing routine of this program even easier, but due to lack of time I didn't yet get to that.

- Un-Installing -
    If you tried it and didn't like it, you might want to consider uninstalling. Try running the Uninstall option from the Currency Converter part of start-menu.

    Don't worry about the registry or redundant DLL's or whatever Big Bill thinks up. It doesn't use any of it. The program only uses the directory or folder it is installed in.
