Installation
------------

PROANNOUNCE Designer is now delivered on CD-ROM.
When you insert the CDROM, the Internet Explorer is automatically launched and shows you
the content of the CD. By clicking on the link "Install" PROANNOUNCE Designer is copied to your
harddisk.
If the Internet Explorer does not start, you'll find the document for the contnet of the CD in the
directory 'Documentation\Contents PROANNOUNCE CD.htm'.
If you want to install only PROANNOUNCE Designer, use your Explorer to change to CD-ROM drive and 
execute 'SETUP.EXE' in the 'PROANNOUNCE Designer\disk1' directory.

You can build a disk distribution, if you copy the files from directory 'disk1' to
one disk, from directory 'disk2' to one and so on.
Insert disk1 on your target computer and execute 'SETUP.EXE'.

Additionally you find a LITE and a DEMO Version of the application on your CD.
With the DEMO Version you can edit and save worksheets, but you can not use them with the 
full version and vice versa. You can not connect to a DPM4000 either.
The LITE Version supports connecting to the system and change volume clock and calendar
settings and event logging

directory at installation time. Please execute it (i.e. doubleclick inside explorer).
