BookTrakker v3.4 
Installation Instructions for New Users and for Current Users of V3.3, V3.2, and V3.1
*Additional Instructions appear at end for Current V3* users.

We would like to extend a hearty welcome to you as you begin your installation of BookTrakker V3.4, and would like to take a moment to remind you that we are available if you have any questions, or run into any problems with the program.  Likewise, our developers are always open to suggestions or constructive criticism on how we can improve the program. 

Now, let's begin the Installation:

First, close all programs on your computer especially virus-checking software. Some of the anti-virus programs look for certain types of behavior patterns instead of specific virus codes. Remember to turn the anti-virus program back on when installation is complete. (It's okay to leave this website open.) 

*(new info) ZoneAlarm's most recent update is compatible with BookTrakker and does not need to be turned off during download.  Older versions of ZoneAlarm are not compatible and need to be turned off before installation then turned on again when installation is complete

*
Spyware Doctor and Avast are not compatible with BookTrakker and must be uninstalled and removed from your computer before installing BookTrakker. Do not reinstall Spyware Doctor or Avast.

Next, locate the BT34Setup.exe file placed on your computer when you downloaded v3.4. If you cannot find the BT34Setup.exe file, open Windows Explorer or your File Manager, click Start > Search > Files or folders and type in BT34Setup.exe and click Search

Double-click on the BT34Setup.exe file to open the InstallShield Wizard and initiate installation.

Again, leave this at the default, unless you have a partitioned drive, and want to use a different drive letter. If you want BookTrakker installed in Program Files then you should change the installation to there, by clicking on the Change button. 

WARNING: Installing in Program Files will make it very difficult for us to provide support if something breaks or stops working. 

You must use the Folder supplied with the program, BTPro, no matter where else you install it. So if you want it in Program Files, then make sure the path reads C:\Program Files\BTPro.  Do not attempt to install a second copy of the program elsewhere. You can only have one copy running on your computer. Installing in another location will cause numerous errors. 

If you do not have a C Drive on your computer then please contact support at support@booktrakker.com 

Click Next, to get:

*Additional Instructions for Current Users of V3.3, V3.2, and V3.1:
