Software Requirements

The PC must have an operating system that is compatible with the Alignment Tool.
Compatible operating systems are Microsoft Windows™ version 3.1 or Windows 95.

Notes: (i) The Alignment Tool will not run on Windows NT™ .

(ii) It is not possible to install or use the Alignment Tool without one of these

compatible Windows systems running.

INSTALLING THE ALIGNMENT TOOL

To install the Alignment Tool as follows:

Preparation

These steps should be followed as a precursor for installation:

(1)

Start Windows.

(2)

Ensure that there is at least 10 Mb of space free on the hard disk on which the Alignment Tool is to
be installed.

(3)

The Alignment Tool installation process will be halted if there is less than 10 Mb hard disk space
free. This is the case even if the installation is being done for the second time and some of the files
copied during installation are already present (in this event the Alignment Tool will actually use less
than 10Mb but it must still ‘see’ at least 10 Mb free).

Note: If you are running a hard disk compression program, such as DoubleSpace ™

or Stacker ™ , the installation program has already made allowance for this when
checking for free space.

(4)

Close all applications except Program Manager, - this includes any applications that may be visible
as a minimized icon or a toolbar, eg. MS Office.
To confirm that all other applications are closed: run the Windows Task List [either by double clicking
on the Windows background or by pressing the <CTRL> + <ESC> keys together] and select End
Task for all tasks other than Program Manager.
If you prefer to run applications using File Manager, this may be left open.

Once these actions are complete, Alignment Tool installation may commence.

Installation

After preparation for installation is completed, the installation can proceed as follows:

(1)

Insert Disk 1 of the installation disks into the floppy disk drive.

(2)

From the File menu of Program Manager, choose Run.

A ‘Run’ dialogue box will appear.

(3)

In the dialogues command line box type:

a:\setup.exe

(assuming your 3,5 floppy disk drive is allocated drive letter ‘a’).

After a short delay, a Setup progress indicator will appear and eventually the screen will display a
Welcome dialogue. This reminds you that all other applications should be closed down before
continuing (see -

Preparation above) and details applicable copyright and reproduction rights (for

full details of these restrictions, see the Licence Agreement that is part of the Service Aid kit).

(4)

Select Next to Continue. The next step is selecting the installation directory.

(5)

Choose the directory where the Alignment Tool files are to be installed.

The default directory is C:\SP80ALIG.

(a)

To accept the default, select Next.

(b)

To install in a different directory, select Browse and select or type the path of the desired

directory. If the directory entered does not exist, the option will be given to create it.
