5 SOFTWARE 

INSTALLATION 

For the installation of the software package for VIP

digital

 a PC running Windows 95 or higher is 

required. 

We recommend to delete or relocate short cuts which belong to the older version(s) of the VIP

digital

 

software. This can avoid the unintentional use of an older program version instead of the current 
version. 
 

5.1  Installation from the CD-ROM 

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD drive of your PC and start 
the 

SETUP.EXE

 installation routine. The software will guide you 

through the installation process conveniently.  

All required data is copied to your computer. Parameters of your 
computer will not be modified. 

5.2  Installation from a ZIP-file 

If you receive the VIP

digital 

software as a ZIP file (e.g. as a download from our website 

http://www.yellowtec.com/

), you can open the ZIP file using the software 

WinZip

 (which should be 

installed on your Windows PC as a part of Windows). Normally 

WinZip

 is started by double clicking a 

ZIP file. 

WinZip

  will extract all files into a new folder. Find the 

SETUP.EXE

 file in this folder. 

A double click on 

SETUP.EXE

 starts the installation program, which will lead you automatically 

through the installation process. If required a new folder and new short cuts will be created during the 
installation process. 

The update of your Windows PC is finished when 

SETUP.EXE

 is completed.
