Help downloading and installing the Windows version of Polyominoes
7.0:
- The Windows version of Polyominoes is downloaded as the installer
file PolySetup.exe
- The easiest way to install it is to select the option to run the
installer from where it is, rather than to just save it.
- When you run it, a dialog will come up asking if you're sure you
want to run the installer. Click the Yes button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- The installer will install Polyominoes, the HTML help files, and
an uninstaller.
- If you still have problems installing, contact me.
Help downloading and installing the Mac OS X version of Polyominoes
7.1:
- The Mac OS X version of Polyominoes is downloaded as the file
Poly71.bin
- Your browser will probably automatically convert the file to Poly71.sit. If not, double-click the Poly71.bin file to convert it. You may need to download Stuffit Expander
(available from Aladdin Systems) if you don't already have it.
- Once you have the Poly71.sit file, simply double-click it to run Stuffit Expander to decode
it. A new folder, "Polyominoes 7.1" should appear.
- Open the "Polyominoes 7.1" folder and double-click the Polyominoes icon to run Polyominoes.
You may move the folder to another place on your hard drive if
you wish.
- If you still have problems installing, contact me.
Help downloading and installing the Mac OS Classic version of
Polyominoes 7.0:
- The Macintosh version of Polyominoes is downloaded as a BinHex
file named, for example, poly70.hqx (the exact name depends on what version you download)
- The poly70.hqx file should be automatically de-binhexed by your web browser.
If not, run StuffIt Expander to de-binhex it. The resulting de-binhexed
file is a StuffIt archive named poly70.sit
- The poly70.sit file should be automatically un-stuffed by your web browser.
If not, run StuffIt Expander to un-stuff it. The resulting un-stuffed
file is the installer application named Polyominoes 7.0 Installer.
- Run the installer. Click on the first dialog to dismiss the MindVision
splash screen, then click Continue... on the next dialog to dismiss
the Polyominoes installer splash screen.
- Click "Install" to install Polyominoes. Unless you select a folder
yourself, it will place the program in a folder named "Poly 7.0
" at the root level of your hard drive. It will also place help
files in your System Folder in System Folder:Help:Polyominoes
Help: You may do a custom install if you do not want the help
files (the same help can be accessed via this web site).
- The folder "Poly 7.0 " should automatically be opened. The README
document is automatically opened. After reading it, close it and
run the Polyominoes 7.0 program.
- If you still have problems installing, contact me.
