Welcome to the Installation of Cubase Audio XT 3.03 for Windows!

IMPORTANT NOTICES
For installation instructions, use the Audio Recording book,
not the Getting Started book!

Please install the Acrobat Reader first! Double click the file
Acroread.exe in the root direcory to install the Acrobat Reader.

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 READ_ME. 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!

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 "Windows 95" (CUBWIN95.WRI)
after installation for more info and also read the section
"Optimizing Windows 95 for Audio recording".

YAMAHA CBX-D3/D5 with WINDOWS 95
If you run Windows 95 together with a CBX-D3/D5, please refer to
the document "CBX-D3/D5 Windows 95 Notes" (CBXWIN95.WRI) after
installation. This contains vital information regarding the
correct operation of the CBX-D3/D5 together with Windows 95.

SETUP MME
Please launch the utility Setup MME at the end of a successful
installation. 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 organised
correctly in the directory. When you run the EXTRACT.EXE
program you are able to see how the files are organised in the
installation. Please use the same structure.

Thanks for choosing Cubase!
