WinMag CD Install has determined that you are running Windows NT. Our current setup program does not support NT--so you will have to carry out the following steps manually.
You will need to be logged in on a user account with administrative privileges to carry out the following steps.
1. If you are running NT 4.0, skip to step 26
===================== NT 3.51 Manual Install =======================
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE SUFFICIENT TO INSTALL A WEB BROWSER (WE HAVE INCLUDED MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 1.5 FOR NT ON THE CD), AND WILL PERMIT YOU TO VIEW THE MAIN CD FILES. HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VIEW MULTIMEDIA CONTENT INCLUDING SCREENCAM MOVIES OR HEAR WAVE AUDIO. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW MULTIMEDIA CONTENT, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU UPGRADE TO NT 4.0, AND THEN PROCEED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS ON STEP 26. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
(The following steps assume you are running NT 3.51. We have not tested this procedure on earlier versions of NT, and we do not support using the CD on any version prior to 3.51)
2. If you already have a supported web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator) installed, skip to step 8.
3. Start a Command prompt from the NT Program Manager's Main group.
4. Change directories to the root of the WinMag CD.
5. Change directories to the \IEXPLORE.NT subdirectory of the CD.
6. Change directories to the \i386, \PPC, \ALPHA, or \MIPS directory, depending on whether you have an Intel-, Power PC-, Alpha- or Mips-based system.
7. Run MSIE15.EXE from that directory to install Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.5 on your system, and follow the on-screen directions.
8. Start NT File Manager (from the Main group in NT Program Manager).
9. Select File/Associate. The Associate dialog box appears.
10. Type "htm" (without the quotes) into the Extension field. If it's already associated with Internet Explorer (or any other supported web browser), skip ahead to step 15.
11. Click the New Type... button. The New File Type dialog appears. Type "Hypertext File for Web" (without the quotes) in the File Type field. Click the Browse button--the Browse dialog appears.
12. Select IEXPLORE.EXE (or the .EXE file for your web browser) from the \IEXPLORE directory (or whatever directory your web browser is installed in) on your hard disk, and click OK to close the Browse dialog and return to the New File Type dialog.
13. Type "htm" (without the quotes) in the New Extension field, and click the Add-> button to add htm to the list of Extensions.

If not, repeat steps 11--13 as necessary.
15. Click OK to close the New File Type dialog.
16. Verify that the Associate dialog now lists Hypertext File for Web as a type, associated with the web browser and directory specified in step 12, and the extension is htm. If not, repeat steps 10--15 as necessary.
17. Click the OK button to close the Associate dialog.
18. Switch to the NT Program Manager. Select File/New... The New Program Object dialog appears.
19. Click the Common Program Group button, then click OK. the Common Program Group Properties dialog appears. Type "WinMag CD" in the Description field, and click OK.

21. Click the Program Item button, and then click OK. The Program Item Properties dialog appears. Click the Browse button. The Browse dialog appears.

23. Double-check that the Command Line field lists \LIBRARY\DEFAULT.HTM (if not, repeat step 22). Type "WinMag CD Home Page" in the Description field, and click OK.
24. You should now have a WinMag CD Home Page icon in your WinMag CD (Common) group (if not, repeat steps 21--23).
25. You've successfully completed manual installation for NT 3.51! To run the WinMag CD, simply double-click the WinMag CD Home Page icon.
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW THE MAIN CONTENT ON THE CD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VIEW MULTIMEDIA CONTENT SUCH AS SCREENCAM MOVIES AND WAVE AUDIO. TO VIEW THE MULTIMEDIA CONTENT, WE RECOMMEND UPGRADING TO NT 4.0. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
