Using the CD

This sections talks about as to how the user will access the contents present on the CD.

Using the CD with Microsoft Windows

To install the items from the CD to your hard drive, follow these steps:
1.	Insert the CD into your computer抯 CD-ROM drive.
 	
 	A window will appear with the following options: Install, Explore, Links and Exit. If you do not have autorun enabled or if the autorun window does not appear, follow the steps below to access the CD.

2.	Click Start --> Run.
	
	In the dialog box that appears, type d:\setup.exe, where d is the letter of your CD-ROM drive. This will bring up the autorun window described above.
	Choose the Install, Explore, Links, or Exit option from the menu. 

		Install: Gives you the option to install the supplied software and/or the author-created samples on the CD-ROM.

Notes:
The code listings can be viewed through the notepad editor. In the case of ASP and FRM files, you may have to explicitly select the NOTEPAD for opening the files.

In the case of .ebf files, if you have the eMbedded Visual Basic installed in your system, the file will open automatically in that environment. Otherwise, you can view the file in the notepad.

For compilation and execution of the programs, follow the steps given the book.
In the case of projects involving databases, you need to create the tables as per the description given for the tables and then execute the programs.

In the case of VC++ programs, when you create the new project,  some header files are created automatically by the class wizard. The listings of such header files are not included in the CD.


Software Requirements

This sections discusses the software you will find on the CD.

Shareware programs are fully functional, trial versions of copyrighted programs. If you like particular programs, register with their authors for a nominal fee and receive licenses, enhanced versions, and technical support. Freeware programs are copyrighted games, applications, and utilities that are free for personal use. Unlike shareware, these programs do not require a fee or provide technical support. GNU software is governed by its own license, which is included inside the folder of the GNU product. See the GNU license for more details. 

Trial, demo, or evaluation versions are usually limited either by time or functionality (such as being unable to save projects). Some trial versions are very sensitive to system date changes. If you alter your computer抯 date, the programs will "time out" and will no longer be functional.

This embedded operating system is being made use of in projects developed in chapter 10. You will find its GNU version on the CD. For a detailed descriptions of RTLinux go to:  www.fsmlabs.com 

Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty installing or using the CD-ROM programs, try the following solutions:

 *	Turn off any anti-virus software that you may have running. Installers sometimes 		
 	mimic virus activity and can make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being infected by a virus. (Be sure to turn the anti-virus software back on later.)

*	Close all running programs. The more programs you抮e running, the less memory is 			
	available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs; if you keep other programs running, installation may not work properly.

*	Reference the ReadMe: Please refer to the ReadMe file located at the root of the 
	CD-ROM for the latest product information at the time of publication.

If you still have trouble with the CD, please call the Wiley Customer Care phone number: [phone]. Outside the United States, call 1 [phone]. You can also contact Wiley Customer Service by e-mail at [e-mail]. Wiley will provide technical support only for installation and other general quality control items; for technical support on the applications themselves, consult the program抯 vendor or author.
