INSTALLATION NOTES: 

1. Running INSTALL.EXE when vcredist_x86.exe is inckuded, will install and register 
all required program files, create need directories and the Micrsoft required Run Time 
Libraries for MS Visul Studio 2008 Profession MFC C++ applications which automatically 
starts vcredist_x86.exe after the initial install has completed.

2. INSTALL.EXE can be run from inside the .zip file if desired when the file 
vcredist_x86.exe is present it too will execute without being extrated. This is true 
across the Internet as well as on local media.

3. The file MS-DMT_INSTALL_STEPS.pdf details the steps in running INSTALL.EXE with
screen caps and directions.

========================================================================================

INSTALLING MS-DMT FOR THE FIRST TIME

The software may be installed to any Windows directory on your computer using 
Windows XP Home or later. The install program, INSTALL.EXE, by default installs 
to “C:\MS-DMT\”. Do NOT install the software under “C:\PROGRAM FILES\” when 
using either MS-Vista, MS-Windows 7, MS-Windows 8 or later due to file access 
restrictions imposed with these operating systems and be sure to install using 
Administrator rights. 

NOTE: When running on native versions of Windows newer than Windows XP do NOT 
specify to run as a Windows XP SP3 application or anything else using 
Compatibility Mode emulation.

The required installation steps are:

1. Either directly install the distribution archive file MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_FI.ZIP 
in step 2. or unzip into a temporary directory and proceed to step 2.

2. Run the INSTALL.EXE and accept the license agreement, then follow all screen 
prompts through to completion of the install program.

3. If using the MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_FI.ZIP file, upon completion of the INSTALL.EXE 
the Microsoft VS 2008PRO redistribution install (vcredist_x86.exe) will automatically 
start, accept the license agreement, then follow all screen prompts through to 
completion.

NOTE: If the INSTALL.EXE used is not the most recent, then before running the 
MSDMT_xx.EXE file, acquire the partial install archive (MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_PI.ZIP) 
and run its INSTALL.EXE, or just unzip the contents of an update archive 
(MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_UD.ZIP) or run its INSTALL.EXE if one exists, into the sub 
directory where MSDMT_xx.EXE was originally installed on your computer.

The software is now installed and awaiting configuration which is detailed in the
MS-DMT User Guide.

========================================================================================

INSTALLING AN MS-DMT UPDATE

The process for installation of a software update can be one of two methods as 
detailed below.

NOTE: If you have NOT previously installed an earlier MS-DMT version, then you MUST 
run the current full install of MS-DMT before installing an update version.

1. With an existing MS-DMT installation that has been properly configured and tested, 
make sure you save the existing MSDMT_32.EXE and DMT.DAT file to a safe location as 
the update may have a changed DMT.DAT file structure, thus your existing DMT.DAT file 
will be considered corrupt and will be over written if present by the new version when 
started.

2. Then after backing up your existing MS-DMT installation either write over it or 
create a new sub directory to copy over all existing files before installing the 
updated files.
 
3. Depending on the update distribution contents, either run the INSTALL.EXE contained 
in the partial install archive (MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_PI.ZIP) update or run the INSTALL.EXE 
if one exists or just extract the files contents of an update archive 
(MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_UD.ZIP) into the sub directory where MSDMT_xx.EXE was originally 
installed. 

NOTE: Users of Vista or later should not copy or install updates into additional 
directories without first uninstalling as the log files in the originally directory 
will likely be used by both installations.

========================================================================================

UNINSTALLING WITH UNINSTALL.EXE

The providied UNINSTALL.EXE which is created by the INSTALL.EXE creator software as with
most such tools, will only uninstall what the iNSTALL.EXE application installed. As such
any data files created and any other files added to the directory structure will NOT be
removed by UNINSTALL.EXE and will require user removal manually.
