Lightscape
Installing Lightscape for the First
Time
Version 3.2 of Lightscape is designed to work with
the following: Windows 95 (with Service Pack 1),
Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 4), and
Windows 98.
Note: You must authorize Lightscape before you
install. See the authorization request form
included with the software.
To install Lightscape:
1.
Place the Lightscape CD-ROM in the CD-ROM
drive.
Note: If you are installing Lightscape on Windows
NT, you should have administrator privileges.
2.
Choose Run from the Windows Start menu.
3. Type
d:\setup
and press Enter. If required,
replace “d” with the letter that represents your CD-
ROM drive.
The Lightscape Setup wizard guides you step-by-
step through the installation process. You are greeted
with a welcoming message followed by a series of
dialogs. These dialogs let you choose the compo-
nents of Lightscape to install and the directory in
which to install them.
In the dialogs that display the Back button, you can
go back to a previous step by clicking on this button.
You can also cancel the installation process by
clicking Cancel.
4.
If the installer prompts you to restart your com-
puter, do so before starting Lightscape.
Upgrading from a Previous
Version of Lightscape
To upgrade from a previous version of Lightscape,
simply install the new version as if you were
installing the software for the first time. You will be
prompted to uninstall the existing version. If you
choose not to uninstall, the existing version is
overwritten.
If you do not want to overwrite previous versions of
Lightscape, install the versions in different
directories.
Lightscape 3.2 can read files from any previous
version.
Note: Any files saved with Lightscape 3.2 that
include material information cannot be read by
earlier versions of Lightscape. File formats that do
not include material properties information like
animation files (.la), layer state files (.lay), and
parameter files (.df) are portable from Lightscape
3.2 to Lightscape 3.1 or 3.1.1.
