Freeware Installation Instructions

Downloading

All the software titles available from this site are in zipped format to decrease download times, so you need to have an Unzip program installed on your computer in order to open them up. Here's what to do:

Click on the link for the product you want (or right-click and choose 'Save link')

If your browser asks you if you want to open or save the file, choose 'Save'

Select a destination directory and filename on your hard disk, e.g. C:\Install\rucalc.zip

Your browser will download the zip file and save it to the destination path

Locate the zip file and unzip it into the same directory, e.g. C:\Install\

Run the 'setup.exe' file that has been unzipped, e.g. C:\Install\setup.exe

Follow the Setup installation instructions


RUCalc Notes

Once RUCalc has been installed, you can start the calculator by clicking on the Really Useful Calculator icon in the Start-Programs Menu.


MyPictures Screen Saver Notes

When installing MyPictures Screen Saver, the installation program will report an error as it tries to create a program icon. This is no cause for concern. Just click 'Ignore' and all will be well. For those interested to know, it happens because Windows doesn't like creating an icon for it in the Start Menu.
