INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS First make sure all applications except program manager and File Manager are not running. This can be done by double clicking on the desktop and displaying Task manager. It will display all active applications. Remove others as they may interfere with the install process. Same rules apply to networks. Depending on how these programs were shipped, you may have to unzip them. Unzip them to a "temp" hard drive location. Once this is done, goto "File Manager" and either install from disk if files were not zipped or install from the temp location on the hard drive. Click on the "setup.exe" filename for each application you may have. The program will self install. If the program prompts you that a file is in use, press the Ignore command button. Unless otherwise noted, use the default directory in the set-up process. These applications require "vbrun300.dll". It will probably already be on your system. It will be located in your "C:\windows\system" directory if windows has been installed on your "C" drive. It does not ship with the shareware version(s) and can be found in many shareware libraries such a CompuServe and throughout the internet at many sites. If you have a problem locating this "dll" then drop e-mail to us and we can go from there AVAILABLE PRODUCT INFORMATION __________________________________________________________________ Product name: Discounted Cash Flow Analyst Version: 2.7* Zipped: dcfa2_7.zip Language: Visual Basic for windows Category: Finance / Real Estate General Use: Multiple document interface real estate analysis package.
