Installation notes... for
any version older then v0.19
After the download, all you
need to do create a directory somewhere on you hard disk, and then unzip
(use win zip if you do not have it
yet) into that directory. Happy cd-editing...
Why
so many different packages?
Currently, the CD editor does not come
with an installation package, i.e., a setup.exe program. Therefore you
should follow the following procedure for installation:
-
Determine whether you need mfc42.dll. In order
for the editor to work, it needs a file a file called mfc42.dll. This is
a dynamic link library of microsoft foundation classes. The file is quite
large, and may take a long time to download. You may be able to save considerable
time in downloading the editor if you you already have the correct version
of mfc42.dll. This may require a bit of work on your side, so you may just
as well download the editor with mfc42.dll.
Although almost all windows 95, 98 and
NT have somewhere in their file system, there is a good chance that
the file you have is an old version. Remember, the CD editor will not work
if you are not using a recent enough version of mfc42.dll.
If you have downloaded the
editor before, and managed to get it to start, you do not need to download
mfc42.dll again.
In order to determine if you already have mfc42.dll
you should:
-
Find it on the hard disk: use start -> find
-> files or folders.
-
If you have no such file,
you must download mfc42.dll with the editor.
-
If you have more than one copy, it may not be obvious
which one your computer uses, and for which application. You would be on
the safe side to download it with the editor.
-
Determine its version: When you have found
the file, hit Alt Enter on it (or alternatively, right-mouse-click/properties).
The dialog box you see should have a tab called Version.
This tab shows the file version along with lots of other boring information
about it.
-
Make sure it is the right version: The
file version must be 6.00.8267.0 or higher.
Note that all digits in the version number are
significant.
In a nut
shell, you may skip the download, if and only if you have one mfc42.dll
on your hard disk and it is version 6.00.8267.0
or higher.
If you downloaded the editor
without
mfc42.dll, and it did not start, all you need to do is download
mfc42.dll.
