Installing Victoire! is a simple process under either System 6 or System 7. To install Victoire! under System 6, simply copy Victoire! into your System Folder. When running System 7, Victoire! is installed by simply dropping the Victoire! icon onto the System Folder icon. The system will notify you, and automatically put Victoire! into the proper Control Panels folder.
Once Victoire! has been installed, you must reboot in order for it to load. Then, Victoire! may be customized by opening its Control Panel. In the Control Panel, Game Enhancement Modules (GEMs) may be added, Victoire can be turned on or off, and the Victoire! startup icon can be turned off.
