INSTALLATION

After downloading the file TLX.zip, run an unZip program to extract the files. You will be left with four files: setup.exe, SETUP.LST, slider.cab and readme.txt. Depending on the version there may also be a folder entitled Support but this contains items for reference only. Before doing anything further, read the read me file for any late changes that may have been made to the installation or operation of TLX.

Double click (or right-mouse:open) to launch the setup program. The program will copy the installation program and then the Setup screen will appear with a warning to close programs before continuing the installation, an exit button is provided to allow you to terminate the installation. The installer will guide you through the required steps to install the software. At some point you will be asked if you want to install into a directory other than C:programfiles\slider. Feel free to do so. You may also get a warning that the installation program is trying to install a version of a dll that is older than the existing file (most often expsrv.dll), ALWAYS keep the newer file. When the installation is complete the target directory will contain five files: the three default.xxx files, the executable, slider.exe and the uninstall data file STGUNST. Although all of the default files are ASCII and editable with text editor programs the Caption file default.cap is the only file that should be edited by the experimenter, the others are initialized prior to first use and should only me modified from within the program. Feel free to rename slider.exe, and for ease of use it is recommended that a shortcut on the desktop be created to allow easy access to the program.

UNISTALLATION

To remove the program use the standard Add/Remove Programs function located in the Control Panel folder. Locate slider.exe in the program list, select it and then click on Add/Remove. Follow the prompts, when you are asked if you wish to remove all unused dll select Yes to All. When the uninstall is complete, the sliders directory will still exist. In it will be all data files not prefaced with default; if slider.exe was renamed the renamed version will not have been removed.
