SUPPORT

DeskProto V4 is a 32 bits MS Windows application: it needs Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP or newer. Other platforms are not supported. Note that for Windows 95, 98, ME or NT4 you might need to install Microsoft upgrades for Open-GL and/or MSI (MicroSoft Installer).
Minimum required hardware is a Pentium PC with 32 Mb RAM, 40 Mb of free disk space and a USB port for the dongle (parallel dongle available on request; with DeskProto Lite no dongle is present). However, in order to minimize waiting times a fast machine with more RAM is strongly recommended. We also recommend the use of a 3D graphics card that supports Open-GL.

Just as all Windows applications DeskProto can be installed by running the DeskProto Setup program from within Windows.

Choose Run from the File menu of the Program Manager.
Enter the program SETUP.EXE to run, or use the browse-button to select this file.

The DeskProto Setup program will now automatically install the trial version on your hard disk. You will be prompted to enter the file locations: default a directory "C:\Program Files\DeskProto 4.0" will be created. All files will be placed in this directory and two subdirectories, with the exception of a few DLL files that have to be copied into your Windows directory.

After installation a new Program Group will have been added to the Start menu, and a Shortcut called "Deskproto 4.0 Trial" will have been added to your desktop. Start DeskProto by double clicking the DeskProto icon on your desktop.
