Ashgem Software - Installation Guide

Ashgem Software - Installation Guide
(If you are not familiar with this process, it is recommended that you print this Install Guide.)

Before you can install programs from the Internet, you must first download, save and extract them into a temporary folder on your PC. All Ashgem Software programs are Self Extracting ZIP files which carry a '.exe' suffix after the filename.

Important Rules:
1) For fast access we recommend that our program start Icons are copied to the desktop.*
2) To guarantee full compliance, programs must be installed into their recommended location.
We are currently not able to provide full technical support for programs installed elsewhere.

This is a General Guide for Digitally Downloaded Programs.
* For many of these programs below the full manual is available free and will provide
a more comprehensive guide for download and installation. You can find these
in various formats on either our Technical Support section, or in Free Downloads.

Please Note: Below ' ##' may be used to denote the initials of the program you are using.
Where Remind-Me = 'rm', TimeWatch = 'tw', WordSpell2 = 'ws', Puz-Pix = 'pz', etc.

DOWNLOADING PROGRAMS
After payment has been verified (if appropriate), you will be able to Digitally Download your chosen program. 'Click' on the link provided to download the program '.exe' file. From the menu which appears click save and select a folder or drawer to save it into. (This location will only be needed temporarily. SUGGESTION - use 'C:\temp' or just 'C:' but what ever, please remember where you saved it !!!)

Find your '{Filename}.exe' download file & Double Click on it, the self extraction process will start - it will recommend that you 'Extract' the main program files into the folder 'C:\Ashgem\temp_##', just click on the 'UNZIP' button. When finished it will say 'x files extracted', Click 'OK' then 'close' the 'Winzip Self-Extractor' program.

After extraction there will be a file inside 'C:\Ashgem\temp_##', named 'Setup.exe'.

To install the program from here follow the appropriate instructions below -

[ WordSpell2 Only - you must also download and read the 'User Guidance Sheet'. This provides necessary password information relating to secure areas where word-lists and results are created and stored.]

Please Note: Below '##' is used to denote the initials of the program you are using.
Where Remind-Me = 'rm', TimeWatch = 'tw', WordSpell2 = 'ws', Puz-Pix = 'pz', etc.

Method 1: 'Double click' on the 'Setup.exe' inside 'C:\Ashgem\temp_##' folder and click on 'OK'. The installation process will now start, with an onscreen guide to help and inform you.

For further guidance read the 'The Installer Program' at the bottom of the page.

Method 2: Click on 'Start' then 'Run'. Use the 'Browse' button to find 'C' Drive. In the Browse window where it says 'Look in' click on the small 'Down' arrow and select (click on) '[C]'. A window will appear, 'double click' on the 'Ashgem' folder, then the 'temp_##' folder.
The contents of this folder will reveal a program called 'Setup.exe', click on 'Setup.exe' to select it and click on 'Open'. After a moment you will be returned to the 'Run' screen and you should see 'C:\Ashgem\temp_##\Setup.exe' in the text box. Now click on 'OK'. The installation process will start, with an onscreen guide to help and inform you.

For further guidance read the 'The Installer Program' at the bottom of the page.

The Recommended Installation Directory path will show 'C:\Ashgem\....etc\....etc\', click 'Continue', an ASHGEM SOFTWARE folder group will be created. (This folder name should not be altered, if your program is not installed correctly onto 'C' drive we can not guarantee full compliance. These programs normally only use a small amount of Hard Drive space - typically 3 to 13Mb.)

After the installation is completed a window will appear with the program start-up icon in it. We recommend that you 'Copy' (Not Move) this icon out onto the desktop now - before program use, this will provide easy and fast future access.*

WARNING - 'Trial' programs are limited to 30 days use - from the date of first use.
Re-installation at anytime will prevent the trial program from working!

* Copying Program Start Icons to the Desktop.
We recommend this for all Business Utility programs as the speedier access provided increases workflow and productivity. Below are two methods -

a) During Installation (Recommended) -
When the installation process has finished, the program Start Icon will appear in an open window. To copy this onto your desktop either: 'Drag' the icon onto the desktop by pressing the 'Ctrl key' on the keyboard and using the 'Left mouse' button to select and move it. Or 'Left Click' the mouse on the icon to select it, then 'Right Click' on it - and from the menu that appears select 'Copy'. Move your mouse pointer over to a position on the desktop, 'Right Click' once more and select 'Paste'.

b) At a Later Date -
Go to the following folder which can be found in 'My Computer' -
'C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Ashgem Software', and copy the required program start icon onto your desktop, using the methods as described in 'a)' above.
