Installing a screen saver in *.exe format
|
These files can be one of two different types:
|
EXE files with direct installation
|
The installation routine is started by double
clicking on the *.exe file. Just follow the instructions
by clicking on "OK" or "Continue".
|
EXE file that unpack themselves
|
This screen saver format unpacks itself and copies itself
into a directory when you double click on it. The directory
will either be newly set up in the unpacking process, or
the file will be copied into the same directory that the
screen saver.exe file is in.
Among the unpacked files is an installation file (for
example setup.exe or install.exe) which starts the actual
installation routine when you double click on it. Further
installation steps are explained in the installation directions.
Or, a *.scr file appears after unpacking is finished, which
then must usually be copied into the Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS).
.
Some screen savers consist of several files, whose destination
directory is listed in the accompanying readme.txt file
(most of the time, the files must be copied manually).
