Welcome to the Installation of Cubase 2.8 for Windows!

SEND IN THE REGISTRATION CARD!
While waiting for the program to get installed, fill out the
registration card and send it in. This entitles you to customer
support and ensures that you are informed about updates of 
the program!

READ ME
After installation you will find a directory next to your
new program, called README. This contains a number of Windows
Write files, describing changes to the program since the
manual was written, giving answers to common questions etc.
Please open these files and read them!

CD-ROM INCLUDED
In the package you will find a CD-ROM disk containing
WavePlayer. See NEWSTUFF.WRI for more information.

WINDOWS 95
If you run Windows 95, installation is slightly different from 
that described in the manual, but the general procedure is the 
same. Please refer to the document CUBWIN95.WRI after 
installation for more info.

SETUP MME
At the end of a successful installation a utility called Setup MME
will be launched. This allows to change the name and order of 
your MIDI interfaces. If you like, Cancel this program, you can 
always make those changes later. Also see the file SETUPMME.WRI.

INSTALLING ON A NETWORK
The Cubase Installer can be run from a networked Windows system 
(a system where Windows and application files are on a server).
Because the server contains all the shared files, 
the SYSTEM directory is read-only. This prevents one user
from overwriting the system for all other users. This 
presents a problem when you need to install files in the 
system directory. On shared installations, these files 
should go into the user's WINDOWS directory. To force Cubase
Installer to do that, you must use the /N parameter. 
For example: INSTALL.EXE /N

THE EXTRACT.EXE PROGRAM
A note for experienced users only!!!!
If you have difficulty installing due to damaged disks, you can 
try using the EXTRACT.EXE program to install the files that are 
still intact. This *might* allow you to use the program while waiting 
for a proper disk set. However, you must ensure that all the 
necessary files are actually installed and that they are organsied 
correctly in the directory. When you run the EXTRACT.EXE 
program you are able too see how the files are organised in the 
installation. Please use the same structure.

Thanks for choosing Cubase!
