Installation

There are two experimental PalOMoney versions called, in programmer language, "debug" and "release."

Debug versions use the Microsoft debug libraries mfc90ud.dll, msvcr90d.dll, and msvcp90d.dll, which are not licensed for redistribution. These libraries are installed on computers that have Microsoft Visual Studio installed. Otherwise, they have to be installed on test computers only in compliance with the Visual Studio licensing terms. These terms are under investigation. Testers may have to have some relationship with the developer for these libraries to be distributed to them from the developer.

Release versions have not been extensively tested, and so may have bugs that are not present in the debug version. Also, release versions do not have the extensive error checking and reporting facilities of the release. Accordingly, it is most preferable to distribute debug versions to testers during this initial phase.

Using the PalOMoney-XXXX.msi file

• Download the .msi installation file to some folder on your computer.
• Open the folder in Explorer, locate and right click the downloaded file, the select Install.
• If the installation (.msi) file did not contain the necessary libraries, you will have to download them here.

Manual install PalOMoney-XXXX.zip file

• Download the installation file to some folder on your computer.
• Open the folder in your zip program (e.g., WinRar) and copy the files to a folder of your choice.
• Right click the PalOMoney.exe file, select Create Shortcut, and drag the Shortcut to your Desktop or the Start menu, or both.
• If necessary, download the required Microsoft libraries here.

PalOMoney creates a file of preferences titled PalOMoney.ini in its installation folder. You will have give yourself permissions to access the installation folder so you can save your preferences. A planned future enhancement will be to locate this file in your My Documents folder.
