System Requirements:
Visual Basic 6 runtimes (included in the installer)
Any version of Windows, right back to Win 95. (e.g. Win95, Win98, Win2K, XP, Vista, etc)
Hardware: if you're running Windows, you can run my programs.
Vista users should read these additional comments.
Linux users: This app installs and run under Wine, at least on Ubuntu 7.10
|
Installation instructions for all programs:
1) Download the installation file from the list below.
2) Find the downloaded file on your computer and run it.
(On Vista, run as a user, not administrator.)
3) During installation, accept the defaults. (You might like to tick 'Create desktop icon')
4) Programs will appear under 'Spacejock Software' in your Start Menu
If the file doesn't download properly or gives a 'corrupt file' error message when you try to run it, return to the program's home page and download from the 'Mirror' link instead (This is the far right menu item on each page.)
To run these programs from a memory stick see the instructions at the foot of this page

A note about trojans: If your anti-virus, anti-spyware or anti-whatever has a fit when you try to install or run one of my programs, please don't assume the worst. Just contact me with the name of the anti-virus software so I can clear it up with the manufacturer. |

Pendrive Runtimes (2.3mb)
Use these to run my apps

Thumb drive setup example:
First, install the chosen program to your hard drive. E.g. yWriter to C:\Program Files\yWriter2
Next, drag this folder to your thumb drive (E.g. F:\yWriter2)
Finally, run the pendrive runtimes installer and specify F:\yWriter2 as the install path
In other words, you're installing directly to the thumb drive
You will now be able to plug the thumb drive into any USB-equipped PC and run yWriter without using the host PC's file system or registry.
All my software can be installed and run the same way.
Most thumb drive require drivers to run on Win98 machines (and don't work on win95). If travelling, you should carry a floppy and mini CD with these drivers at all times.
Use of my apps on a thumb drive is untested and unsupported under Vista, although they work fine when installed to the host PC. I don't have this OS yet, and have no intention of upgrading for some time.

I've had great success installing Spacejock Software apps in Ubuntu 7.10 (and it's likely to work in any other GNU/Linux distro). Using yWriter as an example):
1. Make sure you have Wine installed
2. Download the full install of yWriter
3. Double-click the downloaded exe file in your regular Linux file browser.
Wine will run the installer, and it will also add entries to your start menu under Spacejock Software.
Could it be any easier? (Note that I installed Wine via the Automatix2 installer. I'm not sure whether they've tweaked it, but it works.
Also, use logic when choosing which Spacejock apps to install. File copying apps (eg. ySync) aren't going to do much good. However, yMail works fine.
