Overview
Most TOPO! products have been tested and work without any loss in functionality on the Windows Vista operating system. Vista has unique security features which add a few may add a few steps to the installation process depending on how user accounts are setup on your system. See the Step-by-Step section for details.
Step-by-Step
1. During installation Vista may ask you to 'Allow' the installer program to run, and might require you to enter an administrator password to proceed. Follow the on-screen instructions, allowing Vista to run the setup.exe installer.
2. You should be able to install to the suggested 'Program Files' location, but if you experience any problems with this operation, please click the 'Browse...' button during installation and change the install location to the following: "c:\users\public\topo!". This will allow any user account on the PC to run the application.
3. If the program icon does not appear in the Windows Start menu, you can add one manually by right-clicking on the program icon and choosing 'Pin to Start Menu'. Locate the program icon by clicking 'Start > Computer' and browsing into the install folder (usually at "c:\program files\topo!").
4. After installing, we suggest that you check for updates for your product by either running the LiveUpdate feature in TOPO! or visiting our Downloads Webpage for the most recent version.
5. If you have trouble running an update that you have downloaded from our website, try right-clicking on its icon and choosing 'Run as Administrator'. This will allow Windows Vista to properly update the application and related files.
