COLOUR

Install Guide

To install the Visual Foxpro runtime library please run (or download, save and run) vfp7runs.exe: Visual Foxpro 7 runtime library The Visual Foxpro runtime library need only be installed once for both Colour and MERCS.

To install Colour run (or download, save and run) the Colour installation program: Installation file

This should install clr.exe into folder c:\ecolour. If installing onto a server, I suggest you install into c:\shared\ecolour and make the folder c:\shared available to other users for read and write access.

To run Colour, click Start, select Programs, Orienteering and Colour to launch Colour (or run c:\ecolour\clr.exe). You may wish to create a desktop short cut.
