Installing the Picture Window Slide Show Viewer 1.0

Running the Installer

To activate the installer, run INSTALL.EXE on the diskette labeled Picture Window Slide Show Disk 1 from the Windows Program Manager. The installer displays the following dialog box:

First, enter the pathname of the directory into which you wish the installer to copy the Picture Window Slide Show Viewer program files. By default, this directory is set to C:\VIEWER10. If the directory does not exist, it will be created.

Then check the name of the Program Manager group you wish the Picture Window icons to be created in. The default is "Slide Show Viewer 1.1" but you can change this if you wish. If a group of the name you specify already exists, the icons will be added to it -- if not, a new group will be created. To bypass creating icons altogether, just clear the group name.

When you are ready to start the installation, click Install and the installer will prompt you to insert to necessary disks and provide a running progress indicator and status display. To terminate without running the installer, click Exit.

Once the installation process is under way, all the controls in the dialog box are grayed, and a single large button labelled Terminate Installation appears at the bottom of the dialog box. To abort the installation, click this button.

Running the installer installs the Picture Window Slide Show Viewer and its associated files and creates two Program Manager icons called Viewer 1.0 and Viewer Help. To run the slide show viewer, double click the Viewer 1.0 icon. For detailed instructions on configuring, running, and redistributing the slide show viewer, double click the Viewer Help icon.

Slide shows are collections of compressed images which can be easily stored and distributed on floppy disks. Thirty or more high quality images along with their captions and full text descriptions can be stored on a single 3.5" floppy disk. After reading them in and enhancing them, you can use Picture Window to create slide shows from your photographs. The Picture Window Slide Show Viewer is a separate application which can play back these slide shows on any Windows PC. You can redistribute the slide show viewer freely with your slide shows to anyone you wish. For more information, see the Slide Show Viewer help file.
