Copan for Windows updated: 8-Dec-2009
Copan for Windows Copan.setup.exe, from
www.underhill.ca/Software/Copan/Windows/DownloadCopanWin.php to (anywhere on) your computer.
If your download tool happens to strip off the ".exe" extension from the Copan.setup.exe filename, be sure to add it back before you run it.
(You may need to change the show file extensions
setting in your folder browser.)
Copan.setup.exe file and follow the simple setup instructions.
The installer will place various files in your program folder (usually C:\Program Files\Copan 09.11\), and will create some shortcuts.
The resulting folder and file configuration should look something like this:
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
C:\Program Files\Copan 09.11\
| User Manual and
Auxiliary Files file folders.
User Manual.pdf adobe document.
Copan.exe application.
unins000.exe application.
dd_alloc.dll, dockwnd.dll,
msvcirtd.dll, msvcp60d.dll, and
msvcrtd.dll application extensions.
CopanKey.bin file.
EULA.txt text document.
|
C:\Program Files\Copan 09.11\
| Various other file folders.
Various .html documents.
Various other files. |
C:\Program Files\Copan 09.11\
|
Some Vista users have reported that this does not happen.
If that's the case for you, please — before starting Copan again —
send the file info.display.txt, located in the folder C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Copan\, to
support@underhill.ca.
After accepting the conditions of use, enter the eight character password that was included in the email.
Be careful to use it exactly as is, without the enclosing double-quotes. (Copy and paste works best.) If the password is not entered correctly you'll get an Invalid Password message.
If you get that message and you're sure that you're entering it correctly, you probably have an out-of-date version of Copan, or at least a mismatch between your Copan and your key. Try re-downloading it from us and re-installing it (steps 1 and 2 above).
The procedure for updating Copan is the same as for installing, except for the following:
During setup, you'll notice the program folder (the place where Copan gets installed), C:\Program Files\Copan 09.11\,
will be named differently for each version.
This allows you to fall back to an earlier version should you have problems with the new one.
