-
- This document describes how to install StudioLine from CD-ROM.
-
-
- Installing StudioLine
- ---------------------
-
- A couple of Microsoft components are required to run StudioLine.
- For your convenience, these are included on the CD-ROM. These
- components are: Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, and MDAC 2.5.2 or
- higher. Some, or all of these, might already be installed on your
- system. This depends on the exact version of your operating
- system and all other applications you have installed. StudioLine
- Setup will determine which components are missing and will help
- you install them if necessary. If you don't want to manually
- install some other version of these components, simply insert the
- CD-ROM (or double-click Setup.exe if the Autorun feature of your
- CD-ROM drive has been disabled) and follow the on-screen
- instructions.
-
- Once the installation is complete, please fill out and mail the
- registration card.
-
-
-
- Starting the Application
- ------------------------
-
- Just click the Start button, choose Programs and select
- StudioLine.
-
-
- Installation Support
- --------------------
-
- If Setup does not complete the installation successfully, we
- recommend that you take the following steps before contacting
- H&M Systems Software for assistance:

- packaging.
- - Save your work in progress and exit Windows.
- - Shut down your system and restart it after 3 seconds.
- - Close all applications -- the Taskbar should be empty.
- - Rerun Setup.
-
- If Setup still does not run properly, it may be affected by
- other hardware or software that is installed on your computer.
- Windows help contains troubleshooting aids to help you determine
- the cause of the problem.
-
- To use the Windows troubleshooting wizards:
-
- - Click the Start button.

- StudioLine CD in the drive. Installation support is provided

- Fine-tuning the Installation
- ----------------------------
-
- In case you want to install other versions of the Microsoft
- components, here's how to:
-
- - MDAC 2.5.2: this component exists in various languages.
- Only Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition include
- MDAC 2.5.2 automatically (Windows XP includes MDAC 2.7).
- StudioLine Setup will determine the language of your
- operating system and will install the corresponding
- MDAC version. If your operating system is in a language
- other than English, French, German, or Italian,
- you might want to download the appropriate version from
- Microsoft's web site. For space reasons, we cannot provide
- all versions on the StudioLine CD-ROM. StudioLine Setup
- will install the English version for operating systems
- in languages other than the above. MDAC will work just fine,
- but any messages it might issue will be in English language.
-
- If you want to install a newer version of MDAC than 2.5.2,
- this is just fine as well. Note, however, that we cannot
- provide support if you installed a beta version of MDAC.
- (At the time of writing this, MDAC 2.7 is the newest
- non-beta version.)
-
-
- - Internet Explorer: StudioLine requires a version of Internet
- Explorer of 4.0 or higher to display the online help files.
- Internet Explorer is not needed to run StudioLine itself,
- although there should be a browser capable of displaying DHTML
- to view published pages. Currently, two browser families
- are supported by StudioLine: Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher,
- and Netscape 4.0 or higher. Both families' newest members
- (Internet Explorer 6.0 and Netscape 7.0) are included on the
- StudioLine CD-ROM in English, French, German and Italian.
- StudioLine Setup will offer these versions if it determines
- that older versions are currently installed. StudioLine will
- call for the installation of Internet Explorer if it is not
- already installed, as it is required to display the online
- help files.
