Select Install Directory
Selecting Installation Directory

The Select Directory dialog box allows you to select where you would like to install Magic Card Tracker.  A typical directory would be C:\MCT or C:\MAGIC, however you may select any directory.

If the directory does not exist, you will be asked if you would like the setup program create one for you.


Free Disk Space Error
Not Enough Free Disk Space

To install Magic Card Tracker, you must have a minimum of 800 Kilobytes.

If you do not have enough space, exit the setup program, delete extra files (typically games), and restart the setup program.

Tip: If you do not have 800 K free, you probably are having more problems than just trying to install MCT...


Uninstall Information

The Magic Card Tracker Setup program has the capability to remove an installation of MCT.  The following operations are performed:

•	The file magicct.ini is removed from the windows directory.

•	All files which the setup program copied to the installation directory are deleted.

•	Any data files left in the installation directory are not deleted.

•	The installation is removed, if there are no files in it.

The group created in the Program Manager is not removed.  To remove them, select the icon and press the Delete key.  Continue until the group is removed.


Source File Not Found

If the setup program is run from a different directory than the setup files, the setup can not find the files.  After selecting the OK button, you will be prompted with a Select Directory dialog in which you should select the directory which does contain the setup files.


 Shut Down Error

After selecting the source directory and the setup files are again not present, the setup program shuts down.  To correct the situation, make sure the setup files are installed in a directory to which you have access and rerun the setup program.


Select Source Directory

Select the directory which contains the setup files.  The setup files needed are:

•	mct???.ex_

•	mct???.da_

•	black.bm_

•	blue.bm_

•	green.bm_

•	red.bm_

•	white.bm_

•	title.bm_

•	setup.exe

•	mctsetup.hlp

where ??? represents the version of the program.

If you select a directory which does not contain the files, a shut down error which will result which terminates the setup program.


Program Manager Error
Error Setting up a Program Manager Group

An error in the DDE interface with the Program Manager has occured.  This can typically only be caused by the progman.exe file not being on your path.

The error is non-fatal.  The only calls to the program manager are those which create the group to which the icons for Magic Card Tracker are placed in.  You may still execute the program with out any problems.  However, you will have to use the File Manager or another means to execute the program.
