SUMMARY
The following article contains the Installation section of the Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopedia Readme.txt file and describes the installation process for Encarta. This file also details which files Encarta installs.



Readme File
--- To install Encarta 97 Encyclopedia to your hard disk: -

1. Insert Encarta 97 Disc 1 into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Double-click the Encarta 97 Disc 1 CD icon that appears on your desktop.

3. Double-click the Install Encarta 97 Encyclopedia icon to launch the Installer.

4. Click the Install button.

NOTE: Some virus protection software may confuse the Installer program's necessary actions with behaviors associated with a virus, possibly disrupting the installation process. It is recommended that you disable any virus protection software before installing Encarta, then enable it again after the installation.

Files Installed by the Encarta 97 Encyclopedia Installer: -

The Encarta Installer adds all necessary system components to your System Folder and copies the Encarta application to a folder named "Encarta 97 Encyclopedia". The Easy Install also copies Internet Config 1.3 and Internet Explorer 2.1 to your hard disk if you don't already have these applications installed. Custom installation options are provided for users who wish to only install selected components.

The text, sounds, and images remain on the CDs, so you still need to insert a CD to run the encyclopedia.
