FOR DVD/USB users. Free Updates to your Guides are available Free of charge through a download through a secure third party vendor. Updates happen frequently so I would recommend asking for updates every month or two. You just need to email to request.
INSTALLATION
1) Insert DVD/USB (Often USB Installs with none of these steps needed)
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.
WHAT IF YOU LOST DVD/USB AND NEED TO RE-INSTALL ON A NEW COMPUTER
I can supply a new DVD or USB stick but you will need to pay for the shipping and materials. Verification of your purchase will also need to be conducted. The cost to resend a new DVD with postage is $15 US and a USB drive $20 in $US.
