How to properly install our free software applications

Posted on April 22, 2012 at 7:15 AM

This is a short informational tutorial on how to install our software applications without breaking a sweat.  ;)

 

Installation instructions for Windows 95 - XP:

If your are running Windows 95 up-to Windows XP on your computer, you will not have any problems installing and running all our desktop and portable software. Microsoft created these operating systems perfectly and they run perfectly too with our applications.

 

Installation instructions for Windows Vista / 7 / 8:

If on the other hand you have Windows Vista / 7 or 8 installed, you may experience some difficulty depending which software you are installing. Most of our installshield software will not have any problem running on your system, as long as you run them as an administrator. Simply right-click on the setup executable and select the "Run as Administrator" option in the popup shortcut menu. That's all you need to do.

 

If you are running one of the portable database or spreadsheet software{QT Calc} applications, you will have to run them with administrator rights. Again, you will only need to right-click on the executable or icon and select the "Run as Administrator" option. You will only need to do this once.

 

Desktop Database Software: 

As for running desktop database software on Windows Vista / 7 and 8, you will need to make the administrator rights permanent.

 

You will need to do the following:

- Find the application executable or shortcut icon and right-click on it and select "Properties..." - {at the bottom of the popup menu}

- Go to the Compatibility tab and change the following settings:

- At the bottom, select the "Run this program as an administrator". This will grant you access to run the applications successfully.

- Press on "Apply" and then press "OK". The database program should run now.

 

The above instructions are only necessary for MonoBase, Invoice Master, and the main start-up menu for the Blade Runner office suite.

 

64 Bit Windows Systems:

If you have a 64 bit Windows system, you will need to adjust the database path for Invoice Master, as the program file's folder has a different description - C:\Program Files x86\  instead of the usual path C:\Program Files\ for 32 bit systems.

 

To correct this problem, simply do the following:

1. Go to your control panel and open the "BDE Administrator" - {classic view}

2. Select the "Database" header to list all the databases

3. If your application is listed, make sure it's path is correctly shown on the right-hand side

4. To change the path to the correct one, simply double-click on the path shown and find the database folder where you installed it.

 

The correct path for Windows 64 bit systems must be the following:  C:\Program File x86\AppName\Data

 

That is it, if you follow the above instructions, everything will run smooth as can be.  8)

 

Please also remember to read the "Read Me" file after you have installed these software. :roll:

You need to set your ring tone in the settings window. This will ensure proper working of the application.

Thank you.

I appreciate the software you make available and would like to compliment you on a LOT of quality work. But, of course, people only write when they have problems and today I am having problems with Squeaker. I think part fo the trouble is my network routing, but it is compounded by the fact that Squeaker appears to have no user control over interface selection. My system has a number of interfaces reported by netstat, because VMware (for one) has created virtual interfaces.
Is there some way I can specify the interface Squeaker should use?
Please consider this a feature request across the whole range of communication products.
Thanks, Cliff

This message is for all those who get the following error:

"No MCI Device Open"

To correct this problem, just select a ringtone or any sound file for your communications application in the settings window. This error will only show up on old editions of our video software.

Thank you kindly
