Glyph Manager Installation
Glyph Manager Installation in Mac OS X:
Insert the Glyph Manager CD, or to get the latest version of Glyph Manager, go to the support section of
www.glyphtech.com and download the version for your operating system. The Mac version of Glyph Man-
ager 4 supports Mac OS 10.4 and above. It is a Universal Binary (supports both Intel and PowerPC Macs). You
can find your operating system version by going to the Apple Menu and clicking on “About This Mac”.
Glyph Manager can run in the background automatically under OS X by using System Preferences/System
Accounts/Login Items/Add (+) then selecting Glyph Manager from the Applications folder. Check the “Hide”
box to load the Glyph Manager on the Dashboard at login. The above actions are specific to the Account
name selected. It is necessary to perform these same steps for each Account name desired to have Glyph
Manager automatically load at login.
Note
: We recommend that you set Glyph Manager to run in the background because it will alert you to any prob-
lems with your GT 062E, and allow you to backup your data before any is lost.
Glyph Manager Installation in Windows XP, Vista, 7:
Insert the Glyph Manager CD, or to get the latest version of Glyph Manager, go to the support section of
www.glyphtech.com and download the version for your operating system. The Windows version of Glyph
Manager 4 supports Windows XP and above. Windows Vista must be patched with Service Pack 1 to allow
installation of Glyph Manager. If your installation of Vista is configured for automatic updates, Service Pack 1
is automatically downloaded. If it is not, you must download Service Pack 1 from Microsoft.
Double click the file called setup.exe and then accept the End User Licensing Agreement. Next, accept (or
change) the target install folder. The installation will create a Start Menu folder by default. Check the box
marked “Don’t create a Start Menu folder” if a Start Menu folder is not desired. The install routine will NOT
create a desktop icon by default, check the box marked “Create a desktop icon” if one is desired. Since there
are options to disable this automatic launch of Glyph Manager, it is recommended that at least one of the
above options (icon or Start Menu folder) be used to provide a manual way to launch Glyph Manager.
NOTE: Glyph Manager will start automatically when the computer is booted (except with Vista and Win-
dows 7. With Vista, Windows Defender will block the automatic launch of Glyph Manager. Right click on the
Windows Defender icon in the system tray to unblock Glyph Manager. With Windows 7, it is necessary to
launch Glyph Manager manually using Start/All Programs/Glyph Manager.
The final step of the installation provides three options:
View readme.doc, Launch Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0, and Launch Glyph Manager
The readme.doc contains support contact information and should be reviewed.
Glyph Manager requires Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 to be installed. It is recommended that this
option be allowed. If .NET Framework Version 2.0 is already installed, the Glyph Manager installation will not
attempt to overwrite what’s already there. If the installation does detect an existing .NET Framework Version
2.0 already installed, a “Maintenance Mode” dialog box will appear offering the choice to “Repair” or “Unin-
stall”. Neither of these options should be selected and the Cancel button should be clicked. Taking this ac-
tion will require confirmation by clicking Yes in response to the “Are you sure…” message that follows. Lastly,
click Finish in the Setup Cancelled dialog box.
