If you are reading this, you have launched the Strata StudioPro™ installer and it is awaiting installation instructions from you.  This installer application uses icons to represent the installation scripts available, as well as the drive(s) and/or volume(s) onto which the StudioPro files may be installed.  The receiving drive(s) or volume(s) shown in the installation window are those currently mounted and available on your machine’s desktop.

You should find the interface for this installer more intuitive than other types you may have used.  But if you are in doubt about what to do, simply position the mouse cursor over on an icon or interface control and read about its purpose at the bottom of the installation window.

To install all the files in the StudioPro demonstration package, including all the extensions and supplemental files that the application requires to run, simply click and drag the single icon titled “Install Complete Demo Version” to the icon representing the target hard-disk drive or volume.  It is that simple!  You will be prompted to insert the balance of the installation disks in order.  When the installation process is done, continue to follow the starting up instructions in the Teach Text document titled, “Read Me First - Demo Version.”

You also have the option of installing selected files and folders.  While extremely rare, this is provided if you need to reinstall portions of the product that may become damaged in use.  To view the file-specific installer icons, click on the button at the top of the installer window titled “Show Other Installations.”  The installer’s window re-draws to show the custom installation scripts available.  To install selected files or folders, drag the appropriate icons to your hard disk just as you would to install the complete software package.  To install more than one selected file or folder at the same time, use the Shift key as you click to add desired files to the selection before dragging them all to the target hard-disk drive or volume icon.

When re-installing selected files or folders (with files in them), the installer ALWAYS puts them in the root window.  This is the first window that opens when you double-click on a hard-disk drive’s or volume’s desktop icon.  You must then manually drag the files into the existing StudioPro application folder.  This insures that the installer will not inadvertently replace a file or folder you really wanted to keep.
