Part 1: Software Installation Information

Installation From Disks
-----------------------
Before installing File DeFender you should make backup copies of all the
distribution disks. Do not write-protect the distribution disks you use
to install File Defender. If you do, File Defender cannot be successfully
installed.
Also ensure that the Windows directory, including drive letter, is in your
PATH. If the drive letter is not included in your PATH statement, File
Defender will be unable to determine where Windows resides.
SETUP.EXE is a Windows application; that is, it is run from Windows, rather
than from the DOS prompt. SETUP.EXE will only run in Windows Standard or
Enhanced mode. SETUP.EXE will NOT RUN in Real mode. You can determine how Windows
is configured on your computer by choosing About from the Help menu in the
Program Manager.
