Note for computer users in work locations: You need administrator privileges to install the software. If you are installing the software on an office computer set up by another member of staff, you may not have administrator priveleges and we suggest you ask your IT support staff to advise you on the installation procedure.

 

Installation on Windows Vista or Windows 7 is slightly more involved than installing on older versions of Windows, due to extra security features. However if you follow the instructions below carefully you should have no problem.

 

  1. Click the mouse on the Start button at the bottom left of the Vista desktop
  2. Under Programs or under Programs/Accessories you should see a menu option that says "Command Prompt". It has an accompanying icon of a black computer screen with the words "C:\" on it.
  3. Right-click the mouse on the "Command Prompt" menu option (i.e. position the mouse over the menu option and click the right-hand mouse button, instead of the normal, left-hand button)
  4. A pop up menu will appear. Click the left hand mouse button on the option that says "Run as Administrator"
  5. A black command window will appear.
  6. You need to know the drive and directory where you copied the VersionSaver.msi installation file. 
  7. First type the drive name where you copied the file. Let's say you copied it to c:\downloads. You would type c:
  8. Hit the <Enter> key
  9. Next type a backslash character followed by the name of directory where you copied the VersionSaver.msi installation file Let's say you copied it to c:\downloads. You would type \downloads
  10. Hit return
  11. Now type VersionSaver.msi 
  12. Hit return

 

The installation process will now start and from this point onwards will be quite straightforward.

 

Go to "Installation Screens" to carry on with the installation instructions.
