Download Instructions for Windows users - Please read carefully!

  4. If you are using Internet Explorer then, when the download is complete, just click on the 'Open' button to start the installation process.

  5. Alternatively, if you are using a browser which does not allow you to directly run a downloaded file, use 'My Computer' or 'Windows Explorer' to locate the downloaded file (famtz443.exe or famtzi443.exe) in the folder name you have noted, and double click its name to start the installation process.

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the unzipping and installation process - the default settings will install the Famtree program, the Famtree Manual, and some example files in a folder called Program Files/Famtree v4, and place a Famtree icon in your Programs list.   (Note - Some Windows 98 users may see an instruction that some system files need upgrading; this is normal - just follow the instructions about re-booting; however, if this happens continuously, then you have a program, such as a scanner, running in the background, which is interfering with the process; just close that program down, and re-start the installation process).
