=== Download and Install ===

=== Step by Step ===

  - **Prerequisite: Install your Dymo LabelWriter Software and printer first, and print a label or two.**
  - Create an apps folder at the root of your c drive (i.e. c:\apps). Or equivalent, if you'd like.
  - [[http://www.plain-english.com/dime-o-gold-download-link|Download the installation file]], dgsetup.exe, to a convenient place on your computer. If you have trouble downloading dgsetup.exe, try to [[http://www.plain-english.com/downloads/DGsetup.zip|download the alternative]], dgsetup.zip instead.
  - When the download is complete, run dgsetup.exe to begin the installation.
  - 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.
  - Click Continue, and accept the prompt to begin configuration.
  - 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."
  - 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.
  - 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.)
  - Right-click in the toolbar/taskbar area of GoldMine, in a spot where there's no existing button. Choose "Customize Taskbar…"
      - Right-click in the Customize Taskbar window that pops up, and choose "Add New Group…" \\  \\ {{http://content.screencast.com/users/StevenGraff/folders/Jing/media/f1852271-6c0d-4208-a357-58969a7c4848/2014-06-07_1404.png?nolink&272x207}}
      - Type in the name you want to assign to this group, i.e. Dymo.
      - Leave all the checkboxes blank, unless you know you want them otherwise. Hit OK. You should now have an empty Taskbar group called Dymo. \\  \\ {{http://content.screencast.com/users/StevenGraff/folders/Jing/media/3e43b285-848f-4ed9-9706-facdfadf53bb/TaskBar Customize.png?nolink&186x516}}
      - Right-click in your Dymo taskbar and choose "Add New Item…"
      - 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):<font 9pt/arial;;#000000;;#ffffff></font> \\  \\ {{http://content.screencast.com/users/StevenGraff/folders/Jing/media/10b11d6e-d947-49c0-8f71-c5ae82e0229b/Dime-O-Gold Taskbar shortcut.png?direct&}}
      - 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.
      - 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.
      - 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.
  - Finally, click OK one last time, then click the x to close the Customize Taskbar window.
