Title: proper installation procedure

Hi Peter,
what is current proper installation procedure of XXHighEnd?
there is RunThisFirst.zip file to download...
But what does this .bat file actually do?
In the unzipped XXHighEnd-207 folder there is Setup.exe as well. Do I need to run it first and then only run XXHighEnd.exe?
It seems that XXHighEnd.exe works perfectly without execution Setup.exe and RunThisFirst.bat.
Can you clarify this? The installation guide on your website seems to be out of date...
Thanks in advance!

Without being activated ? impossible. Haha.
Seriously, wait until you have it activated and Minimized OS and such. :)

Yes, by now it is. But what's to happen is described in the Release Notes themselves (close to the bottom). And actually all is (finally) quite easy now. One thing : that RunThisFirst is a correction to something which hasn't been thought of in 2.07; as the Release Notes say : only run this when XXHighEnd hasn't been installed before on this "OS Install".
It makes the state of the UAC as how XXHighEnd sees it, consistent with reality.

Otherwise the Release Notes state to run XXHighEnd.exe after install.
Side note : the Setup.exe is not only not to by run by yourself (I know, this is misleading) but can even go out since 2.07, what I never thought of until your post; It is not needed any more.

I will try to find the obsolete page you refer to and amend it.

Thanks ...
Peter

No Peter, not that one but

04 | Installation guide for Dummies
It has Vista and all old staff as well....

I was confused by having Setup.exe file in the unzipped folder and that RunThisFirst.bat.  :wacko:


Now you explained it all right. Thanks!

Ah that one. :oops:
Well, can still work, apart from the UAC stuff mentioned in there. But as how it is written in there is obsolete by ages already anyway (since Windows 8).

Thank you for this reminder, Andre; I really must do something about that one.
