Installation

When you install StarSpikes Pro 4, our installer will guide you step by step through the installation process.

In the Custom Setup step it will identify all of the image editors on your system into which the plug-in can be automatically installed. The editors that it recognizes will be listed in what Microsoft calls a "Tree" control at the beginning of the installation.


Choosing What Editors to Install Into

This is what the installer "Tree View" looks like You can use this "Tree" control to determine which of your image editors will have StarSpikes Pro 4 installed. Simply click on the entry for the editor and you will see a small menu in which you can enable or disable installation for that particular editor. By default, our installer will install StarSpikes Pro 4 for every image editor that it recognizes.

Note that on a 64 bit Windows system, the list has two parts. One for 32 bit Windows applications and one for 64 bit. The installer will install the different StarSpikes Pro 4 variants of the plug-in - a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version - in the appropriate places.

Even if our installer does not recognize any image editor on your system, it will still install the StarSpikes Pro 4 plug-in in its own folder(s). You can then add the plug-in manually (e.g., by copying) into an image editor that the installer did not recognize.

Note that you can change the choices you made when you first installed StarSpikes Pro 4. Simply use the Windows Programs and Features or Installed apps and features panel to run our installer again. Choose Change and make whatever changes you wish using the "Tree" control.


Note that StarSpikes Pro 4 can coexist on the same machine with its predecessors, versions 1, 2, and 3. You do not need to uninstall the older version(s).
