Topaz Installation Sheet
Introduction
Topaz 1.5 has been updated to include support for Microsoft Windows
Vista, Windows 7, and Internet Explorer 7/8. This installation also
includes many fixes and enhancements to the product.
The complete Topaz program is included on one installation CD. If
workstations are to be used, a file named workstation.hta is
created during the first Topaz software installation (server). That file
must be available at the workstation computer during software
installation.
There is also a Software Sentinel that plugs into a USB port of each
computer running the software.
We recommend that you always perform a complete backup before
installing new software, and close all programs before installing Topaz.
