Or equivalent, if you'd like.</li> <li class="level1"> Download the installation file, dgsetup.exe, to a convenient place on your computer.</li> <li class="level1"> When the download is complete, run dgsetup.exe to begin the installation.</li> <li class="level1"> Point the installer to c:\apps (or whatever folder you created in step 1). The installer will automatically create for you a subdirectory called dime-o-gold, and will copy all the necessary files into the dime-o-gold folder.</li> <li class="level1"> Click Continue, and accept the prompt to begin configuration.</li> <li class="level1"> Locate the dls.exe file on your computer. On most systems, our installer will have found it for you, so all you need do is click "Open."</li> <li class="level1"> Click OK to complete the configuration. You may wish to revisit the dime-o-config program later, but for now the defaults should all be just fine.</li> <li class="level1"> Create the appropriate task bar and shortcuts in GoldMine. (Go to the 4-minute mark in the video below for instructions on creating the task bar and shortcuts.)<ol> <li class="level3"> Right-click in the toolbar/taskbar area of GoldMine, in a spot where there's no existing button. Choose "Customize Taskbar…"</li> <li class="level3"> Right-click in the Customize Taskbar window that pops up, and choose "Add New Group…"</li> <li class="level3"> Type in the name you want to assign to this group, i.e. Dymo.</li> <li class="level3"> Leave all the checkboxes blank, unless you know you want them otherwise. Hit OK. You should now have an empty Taskbar group called Dymo.</li> <li class="level3"> Right-click in your Dymo taskbar and choose "Add New Item…"</li> <li class="level3"> From the Item Type drop-down list choose External Application. Fill out the form similarly to this (in our installation we used d:\apps instead of c:\apps): <br/> <br/> <img src="/dimeogolddoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=494&h=423&tok=80973f&media=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.screencast.com%2Fusers%2FStevenGraff%2Ffolders%2FJing%2Fmedia%2F10b11d6e-d947-49c0-8f71-c5ae82e0229b%2FDime-O-Gold%20Taskbar%20shortcut.png" class="media" alt="" width="494" height="423" /></li> <li class="level3"> If you bought an Express license, rather than Pro, just leave the word Pro off from the Caption line. For the Icon File, you can use any of the three hi-res ico files we provide, or just leave the default icon that's embedded in the executable.</li> <li class="level3"> If you bought a Pro license, repeat steps e, and f above, but this time use the word "Express" instead of "Pro" on the caption line, and, on the Command Line, type /mode=Express. Use the icon with the "Xp" on it (the Express icon file) for your Icon File.</li> <li class="level3"> Repeat steps e and f above, only this time set the Caption to Dime-O-Config, and point the Application to dime-o-config.exe. There's also a corresponding icon file you can use if you'd like.</li> <li class="level3"> Finally, click OK one last time, then click the x to close the Customize Taskbar window.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> </div> <h4>The Video Version</h4> <div class="level4"> <p> [[Video]] </p> <p> In this brief video we'll see just how easy it is to download and install Dime-O-Gold software on your computer: </p> {{http://www.plain-english.com/sites/default/files/video/Dime-O-Gold/Dime-O-Gold Installation.mp4|800x600}} </div>
