December 16, 2022
Version 17.3F Headstamp Guide all picture files have been compressed and all box pictures have been removed. This has reduced the size of the headstamp guide by more than 1/3 which will make it much quicker to download new updates. Many poictures have also been edited for better clarity. If one wants rimfire box pics there is section in the IAA resource centre that contains boxes. This guide was meant to ID cartridges and headstamps. Still an ongoing project as each graphic needs to be edited and compressed one by one.

GENERAL SUPPORT
Installing Software:
1) Insert DVD/USB
2) Wait for the DVD/USB to launch on its own and ask to "View files on DVD/USB"
or "Install EXE"
3) Choose Install exe.
4) Windows may ask if you will "Allow" the software so choose
Allow.
5) Hit Next on menu command
6) Choose Yes to accept License
7) Hit Next to allow the CD to copy files to:
C\Program Files\VVHP\HeadstampGuide
8) will ask can create Directories. Choose YES
9) Choose Install
10) Next step will take 3-7 mins depending upon your PC. 2 Bars show while it
installs. there are lots of graphics so it can take awhile...It may often say
"click to Install' but you ill see "Install" is Grayed out ...just ignore it.
While this 3-7 min process runs there is nothing more you need to do.
11) Installation will finish on its own, and ask you to choose
END
12) A screen will appear with two icons...One says "Uninstall Hyperpublish" and
the other "Visual Vision Hyper Publish".
13) Click on Visual Vision Hyper Publish and this
will launch your software.
Once it is launched you can choose file open and select from Headstamp guide,
measurement Guide and rimfire guide if you have purchased that one.
If you do not remember how to access the files once installed...go to start,
program, program files and you will see the
directory VVHP. Click on that file and choose
headstamp guide. You may click on any of the black
icons to launch...iper3rd is the main launch exe. But you can choose the file
names such as Headstamp guide to launch CF headstamp guide, measurement guide to
launch measurement guide or if you have it ,rimfire guide will launch rimfire
guide..
I recommend to right click the iper3rd.exe file and
choose create shortcut to put on PC main menu so you can have the quick launch
on your desktop.
No need to keep inserting the DVD to use the
program, it will install onto your hard drive.
There is also a de-install icon
in the same place should you need to delete the program and re-install later.
If the DVD
goes through Installation but can not complete, this is a conflict with software
on your system that you will need to fix.
How to
get UPDATES
TThroughout the year there are always updates to the centerfire and measurement guides. If major design updates occur I will certainly state this on the new updates portion. There will always be some updates as I constantly research data and find new cartridges and headstamps or additional information. It is recommended to check this website periodically to see if there are major updates.
1) NEW DVD with updates: Want a DVD update? Send back your DVD with $12 in North America, $15 International to cover the cost of the return shipping, a new DVD, case and packaging etc. You will only need to re-install DVD for the updates. Your program will still work while you are waiting for the new edition DVD.
2) Online updates Via email absolutely FREE. (Through a secure and trusted third party host: Mediafire). Once I receive an email from you requesting an update, I will send via a third party company. You will receive an email with a link to download the file (s)...It can take awhile to download as the program is large, but this is still quicker than mail. Hundreds of people have used it and love it. If you do not have the core program files, the update will NOT allow you to use this program, so the program needs to be purchased and installed on your PC first.
When you download your file such as "Headstamp guide", you simply copy that named file over the older same named file on your PC where this program is located and this will give you the new updated files. It is that easy.
Please include: email address to send updates to
NOTE: Do to piracy and multiple distribution of files, all links downloaded and number of are tracked to user. Any violation of the download will result in suspension of any future downloads. Thanks for your understanding.
