Steps to Install tApCalc
Suite
tApCalc Suite installation installs the 3 applications separately
through a batch file. Each application in the suite has there own installation
program which is called from the main Setup.bat file one after another. Should
you have any problem in installing the suite through the batch program as
outlined below, you can go to the respective application directories and install
the individual applications one after another by double clicking on the
Setup.exe file in each directory.
Step 1 - Unzip the
files
Unzip the downloaded file using Winzip. If you are able to read this file then you
have probably already unzipped the file. You should see the following files in
tApCalcSuite-Arms directory.
Setup.bat
tApCalcDesk
tApCalcFinance
tApCalcSifi
Where,
tApCalcDesk, tApCalcFinance, tApCalcSifi are directories. Each of these
directories will have 5 files:
SetUp.exe
Setup.ini
TApCalcFinance.Arm 1100(4k) v3.00.CAB
*
readme.htm
tApCalcFinance.bat *
* in case of tApCalc
Desk and tApCalc Sifi, it will be Desk or SiFi
respectively.
(Note: If you
purchase Mips or SH3 version of tApCalc Suite that .Arm files will be .Mips or
.SH3)
Step 2 - Run the Installation
Program
On Windows PC
- Run the
SetUp.bat file you see in the
tApCalcSuite-Arms directory by double clicking on it. If you have purchased SH3 or
Mips version, this file will be in tApCalcSuite-Mips, tApCalcSuite-SH3
directory respectively. You will start seeing installation activities on your screen and
the necessary files will be copied to Pocket PC sync folder so that the program can be
automatically installed on your device.
- If your device is already on
the cradle, the files will be automatically downloaded to the device and you
will see the installation activities on the screen. Follow the steps outlined
in “On the Device” section below to complete installation.
- If your device is not already
on the cradle, the files will be copied next time you put the device on the
sync cradle. You will need to follow the steps outlined on “On the Device”
step to complete installation after the files are copied.
On the Device
- On your device, you will see
installation activities and it may stop and ask you for permission to
overwrite some existing files. You should normally answer “No” to all such
questions. These questions are asked because the installation tries to install
Visual Basic components on to your device. Some prior versions of Pocket PC
did not come these Visual Basic components factory installed. That is why we
package these Visual Basic components with the installation package. If you
already have these components, you are asked the if you want to overwrite
those. Since there is no need for you to overwrite those components you should
answer “No”.
- Now the program is ready for
use. Go to your start menu and select Programs
at the
bottom of the list. You will find tApCalcFinance, tApCalcDesk, and tApCalcSiFi programs in the programs directory. Tap on any
one of them to start that application. You can load the other applications
either from this file list or from the New menu of the running tApCalc
program.
