Credit where credit is due
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First and foremost, let me thank Bob Dolan who wrote the 
installation program being used here. He won't win any 
awards for the obligatory snazzy bells and whistles... 
but it gets the job done very well and in the spirit of 
shareware he has made it free to shareware authors. 
Thank you Bob. I highly recommend you at least give it 
a look for your own use. You can get ahold of Bob on 
CIS at 71075,3256. Look for InstallWare to download the 
installer, for your own look see, from WINSDK.

yourself...

Troubleshooting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
===================================================
 OBJECT WINDOWS EXCEPTION - WINDOW CREATION FAILED
===================================================

If you get a message while trying to run LottoMan
which indicates an Object Windows Exception that
a window creation failed, this is dues to an
improperly installed copy of the file BWCC.DLL.
This file is provided as a standard library file
by Borland International. Their standard for using
the file states that it should be installed in the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. However, for some reason
many programs install this file in the \WINDOWS
directory instead. If you get this error, you can
be nearly certain a program has installed an older
version of this file (than the one shipped with
LottoMan) in the \WINDOWS directory.

To fix this problem, run the File Manager program
that comes with Windows. Choose the File/Search
menu option. In the box labeled "Search For" type
in BWCC.DLL and type a single backslash (\) in the
"Search From" box. Make sure the "Search All
Subdirectories" option is checked and click on OK.
File Manager will search your entire system for
copies of BWCC.DLL and list each copy it finds.

Once you know where all the copies are, copy the
most recent one to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
(unless the one LottoMan put there is the newest)
then delete all other copies. This will *not*
bother any of your existing programs since Windows
will take care of finding the file for them.

===================================================
    CTL3DV2.DLL IS NOT PORPERLY INSTALLED
===================================================

If you get this message when you first run LottoMan,
you have a problem similar to the one just discussed.
For what it is worth, the program will work fine
without this file... it only affects the appearance
of the dialogs and controls. However, to fix the
problem run the Windows File Manager program and
select the File/Search menu option. Enter the file
name CTL3DV2.DLL in the "Search For" box and a single
backslash (\) in the "Search From" box. Make sure the
"Search All Subdirectories" option is checked and
click OK.

As before, copy the most recent version you find to
the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and delete all other
copies. Again, this will not hurt other programs.
CTL3DV2.DLL is a standard library file supplied by
MicroSoft which gives programs that nice three
dimensional look. As with BWCC.DLL, this file must
be installed in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and
there may not be more than one copy on your computer.
