Installation Instructions
(1) Copy each of the downoaded
files to a separate diskette.
(2) Copy all three files from
the diskettes to the a temporary folder on the machine where
SkyTools is installed. Do not place these files in your SkyTools
folder.
(3) Use a program such as pkzip
to extract the files from each of the three zip files.
(4) Make certain that neither
SkyTools nor the SkyTools Supplemental Database Editor is
running.
(5) Start the update
installation program (setup.exe) by double clicking on it,
perhaps using Windows Explorer. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
(6) Make sure that the install
program places the files into the correct SkyTools folder. If
you installed SkyTools in a folder other than the default, press
the Browse button and select the correct path to the
SkyTools folder.
(7) The installation program
will install a program called updater.exe which will update your
files to be compatible with version 1.7.a This program
will be automatically started when you start SkyTools or the
Supplemental Database Editor. It should report a
successful update. It is normal for the update to report
"could not update log files" if there are no log
entries.
(8) Verify the installation. The
program will run as before, except the intro screen will display
version 1.7a. You can also view the version by clicking
on the galaxy background at the top of the planning window.
(3) A few minor cosmetic
problems related to using SkyTools under Windows XP have been
fixed.
