INSTALLING THE PROGRAM

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
It is assumed that you are familiar with the way WindowsTM works, so there are few details included about using WindowsTM itself. If you need more information, you should consult your WindowsTM User's Guide or run the Windows is available from program manager (under the Help|Windows Tutorial menu option).
You should install and use enhanced mode. If you already have WindowsTM in enhanced mode (this is the default), you can proceed. If not, consult your WindowsTM User's Guide to find out how to configure WindowsTM for enhanced mode.
You must have Microsoft® WindowsTM running in enhanced mode for

your hard disk when you install the program. The program will only work on the disk you installed it to. There is no dongle or key-disk, so once installed the program runs completely normally and you will not be inconvenienced (unlike other schemes).
Specific points to remember:
1. The distribution disk contains a single token. You cannot transfer the program to another machine without moving the token back onto the original distribution disk then re-installing. The token can easily be moved with the program that is provided. Contact your distributor if you need additional copies of the software.
2. You should keep you original disk in a safe place away from strong magnetic fields, high humidity or other environmental conditions that could damage it. You will not be able to re-install the software or move it to another machine without the original distribution disk.
3. Two hidden files are copied to a hidden subdirectory of the directory (CONCERTO.CCC and CCONTROL.SYS) when you install the software.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
_____________________________________________________________________ These contain configuration information for the copy protection scheme and are
normal DOS format files. DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If these files are deleted,
4. If you are using a backup utility, make sure that the two hidden files are not backed up. When restored, the copy protection scheme may not be able to validate the installation and these files because they have the hidden, system and read-only attributes set. The two copy protection files also do not have the archive bit set, so you should be able to exclude them from backups by setting up your backup software to ignore files without an archive bit. Remember, it is not the backup but the restore that can cause problems.
5. The /d+ option of the PC-Kwik disk cache software from Multisoft Corporation is not compatible with the copy protection scheme and should be temporarily disabled when installing copy protection scheme in the same way because of non-standard methods of accessing the floppy disk drive. Again, it should be temporarily disabled, but both caches may be used at other times.
6. The copy protection scheme is compatible with disk drives compressed with SuperStor, Stacker and DoubleSpace. However, you should temporarily remove the token from the hard disk when installing one of these compression utilities because the protection will appear invalid when the drives are compressed. The disk compression utilities warn you of this in their manuals.
7. The copy protection scheme is known to be compatible with the following disk defragmenters: Central Point’s Compress, Digital Research’s Diskopt, Stac’s Sdefrag and Microsoft’s Defrag.
See the section of this manual entitled MOVING COPY PROTECTION for instructions on using the utility for moving the copy protection token.

Use file manager to list the files on drive A and double-click on the line with "INSTALL.EXE" on it.
Either method can be used, but you should obtain the window shown below on your screen:
Two push buttons are provided inside the window. You can abort the installation by clicking on the "Quit" push button (or by pressing <Q>). Alternatively, to copy the program files onto your hard disk, click on the "Install..." push button (or press <I>). If you want to obtain help on the installation program, you can click on the Help menu option in the top right hand corner of the window.
If you are proceeding with the installation, you will now be asked to type in the name of a directory on your hard disk for the program files (you will need approximately 1 MByte of space). The default directory name is "C:\CONCERTO", but you can change it by typing in an alternative into the dialog that is displayed.
The dialog looks like that shown above. If you want to keep the default directory for the to change it, you can type in an alternative name and then click on OK (if the directory does not already exist, it will be created).
