INSTALLATION:
************

Read how to Reinstall below.
Before  MinuteMan Data Backup will run, you must install the VB5run kit,
either included with this download, or you can download it at
http://www.mslm.com/minman.htm

Unzip and place minman.zip into a temporary folder, double click 
Setup.exe,  and select the desired drive and path. Then click the
Install button.

MinuteMan Data Backup does not make any modifications or entries to the 
W95 Registry,  nor  to any Win95 System files. It will simply make the new

MinuteMan Data Backup directories, and copy the necessary  files into the
appropriate directories, while adding a MinuteMan Shortcut to  the Start menu.
Shareware Pkunzip.exe by Pkware is copied to the root directory C when you
install MinuteMan if one doesn't exist. Licensed Pkunzip.exe distributed to 
registered users.


Setup troubleshooting:
*********************
If you have problems installing  MinuteMan Data Backup, that may happen
because you  don't have some of the DLLs up to date, download and 
install  the VB5run2 with the OCX update.
You may need to reinstall the VB5run twice.
http://www.mslm.com/minman.htm

If you have a command line in the Autoexec.bat  to  delete 
Win95 temporary files in the C:\Windows\Temp upon startup then 
when installing the VB5run update, it will not take affect if it prompts
you to restart computer because the computer DLLs are out dated.
Remove the line from the Autoexec.bat when you are installing 
programs that requires a reboot.


None English:
************
If MinuteMan is installed in a non English Win95, it should
make all shortcuts to the Startup Folder and Start Menu, if it didn't then
there is something wrong with your installation.

REINSTALL:
*********
When reinstalling, don't delete the previous {older} MinuteMan
directory, nor the MinuteMan.exe. Merely selecting the "Reinstall" command, 
it will update and replace all files and recreate any missing folders, while 
keeping your previous {old} configuration safely intact.
Take care  to see that the correct path to the previous installation is shown
in the path window

UNINSTALL:
*********
To remove {uninstall} MinuteMan correctly, simply delete
the entire  MinuteMan directory.
And if they exist, delete the shortcuts found in
C:\Windows\Startmenu\Programs, and n
C:\Windows\Startmenu\Programs\Startup\MinuteChild.lnk

I suggest you keep the VB5run update because it will work with 
other VB 5.0 applications that call for it. But if for some reason you 
need to remove it, go to the Control Panel\Add Remove Programs 
and select to uninstall the VB5run2 update.

Multi Installation:
******************
In order to be able to backup more than 14 backups available, you can
install MinuteMan in more than one directory and have more
instances of MinuteMan, but you have to rename Shortcuts in the
Start Menu and the Startup Folders, but can't use Timed or
Startup backups on all of them.

SHAREWARE:
*********
MinuteMan most features gets disabled after Thirty trials.

Downloading:
***********
First, get familiarized with Win95 or NT directory structure.
Click Start\Programs\Windows Explorer.
Click on the C: drive, then in the tool bar(very far top left), click
File\New\Folder, move your eyes to the bottom right, you will see

a highlighted folder called New Folder, before clicking any where else,
rename it and call it Download or Shareware.

Now when you download from the Internet, it will prompt you with a
dialog box, be sure to change the download location to the new directory
you just created for downloading software and shareware.

Unzipping and installing:
************************
First you need a software to unzip most shareware that you download
from the Internet such as Winzip or Pkunzip.
http://www.pkware.com

http://www.winzip.com
Download a working evaluation unzip software, install  it by
double clicking and follow the instructions.
Once downloaded and installed, any time you double click a Zip
file it will open the compressed files, but you need to find a location
to extract it to, select all the files and click or select extract. 
Type C:\Temp1, so files will be extracted to a new temporary folder 
called Temp1. (avoid saving temporary files in a Temp folder).
Now browse through the Windows Explorer to the Temp1 folder.

Read the Readme.txt or Setup.txt if any, double click the 
Setup.exe and install.
Be sure to backup your Registry before installing any software or
shareware.
Download ERS the Win95 Registry and System files backup and 
restore,

Virus Checking:

You need an Antivirus to check downloads for viruses before installing.
Nothing to be very alarmed about but you have to be very careful.
