Installation

The following installation instructions assume that you are familiar with the Windows 95 operating system and the WinZip utility.

EFILive V4 is distributed as either a single, self-extracting executable (.exe file) or a set of WinZip files (.zip files), each small enough to fit onto a 3.5 inch floppy disk.

Self extracting executable installation

If you are installing from a self-extracting executable then run the executable file by either double clicking on it from Windows Explorer or by selecting "Run..." from Window's Start Menu.

WinZip file set installation

If you are installing from a set of WinZip files, extract the contents of all of the winzip file(s) into C:\Temp (or other temporary directory) using WinZip.

Run the setup.exe program by either double clicking on the file from Windows Explorer or by selecting Run... from Window's Start Menu.

Upgrading from EFILive V3

Simply install EFILive V4 by following the instructions above. It will co-exist on your computer with EFILive v3. You may continue to use both versions - although once EFILive V4 is installed there really is no need to keep EFILive V3 on your system.

Your old EFILive V3 license is not valid for EFILive V4.

Installing the documentation

Because EFILive V4 is often distributed via the internet, installation file sizes must be kept to a minimum. For this reason the documentation for EFILive V4 is not included as part of the software installation. This keeps the file sizes down and allows either the software or the documentation to be upgraded without downloading the other. 

So that the documentation is available from within EFILive V4 it SHOULD be installed in a directory called "EFILive V4 Docs" and that directory should be at the same level as (i.e. a sibling of) the software installation directory. 

By using the default directory names provided during the installation process you can be assured that the correct directory structure will be created.

If you choose to install the documentation in an alternative location you will need to specify that location in the properties settings in EFILive V4.
