The target for the installation of dBASE Plus will default to a folder where dBASE Plus may already be installed. You may wish (but you are not required) to install the new dBASE Plus into the same folder. Installing into the same folder maintains the PLUS.ini settings that you may have set. If dBASE Plus is not presently installed, the target folder will be c:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus, but you can install dBASE Plus to a folder location of your own choosing.

If the BDE is already installed on your machine, the existing folder location will be selected by default. It is recommended that you continue using this location. Current BDE settings and any new BDE settings are merged during the install, so you don’t lose any prior BDE configuration.

To install dBASE Plus:

  1. Insert your dBASE Plus CD into your CD-ROM drive.

  2. Choose Run from the Start menu.

  3. In the Run box, type the letter of your CD ROM drive, followed by a colon and the word setup, for example,

 D:\dBASE_Plus\setup

  1. Follow the directions that appear onscreen.

At the end of the installation process, you are given the option to read the "Readme" file. You can read it then or open it later from your PLUS root directory or program group.
