Investment Manager Install Utility

The installation of Investment Manager is a completely automatic process. You need only specify the location on your hard disk where you would like the files to be installed. This directory need not already exist, the install utility will create any necessary directories for you. Please note that Investment Manager requires about 1.2Mb of free hard disk space to install.

During the installation process you will be kept informed of which file is currently being installed, and how much of it there is left to install.

When the installation is complete, an Investment Manager group will automatically be created in the Program Manager.

Possible errors

Windows has run out of memory

An unlikely error that can occur if you have so little memory available that the install utility fails to allocate the 130K or so that it needs to work.

Compressed data file is corrupted

INVEST.DAT has become corrupted somehow, obtain another copy.

A file exists with the same name as directory in installation path

The installation path is invalid. You have included the name of an existing file (directories are OK) in the path. The installation utility will not delete files in order to create directories with the same name.

Error creating directory

For some reason the install utility failed to create a directory.

Write failed on destination file

Data could not be written to the file currently being installed. Perhaps the hard disk is full ?

Cannot create destination file

The file currently being installed could not be created. Perhaps it already exists in the installation directory with read-only status.
