The shareware version of AscToHTM is made available over the web from the download page . Once you register you can download the full version (no nags, no limits), and are entitled to free upgrades for an arbitrary period of time (it's cheap, so don't quibble :).Installation will vary according to the type of install kit you've downloaded, but in each case you first download the .ZIP file appropriate to your system and unzip.
Unzip the files.If you've taken an executable version, that's it.
If you've taken an object library version, execute the build command file.
You might want to define a foreign command to get better use out of the program.
- Note:
- The current version of the software makes no changes to your Registry. Later versions may well do so. If they do, I will fully document all registry settings and .DLLs that installation may change on your machine, so that you can manually check after any uninstall process.
If you've taken an installshield version, unzip the file and then run the Setup program. This will move the files to a directory, and create all icons etc.
Once installed, InstallShield will also offer an uninstall option. You can access this via Control Panel | Add/remove software.
- Note:
- The program is written in C++ and will therefore require that you have the correct run-time libraries for your system installed. The installshield program will detect this and install the necessary .DLLs
Some people have reported problems with this process, so a separate download kit containing just the program executable, help files etc. will be produced.
This version should be used by anyone who anticipates problems with the InstallShield version, or who simply wishes to upgrade an existing version.This .ZIP file will be smaller, if only because it won't contain the .DLLs.
Once you've unzipped the files, move them to your preferred directory.
There will be no uninstall command in this case (unless you are overlaying an earlier installed version).
Originally AscToHTM was only available as a console application. Now it is available as a fully-windowed application.A console version will also be made available for users who wish it. This is not the same as any DOS version that we produce, and will require a Win32 environment.
