General Invoice Sales Tracker For Windows (GIST):

WARNING: BEFORE any "Re-Installation" of this program, make sure you perform a "DATA BACKUP" in the existing program BEFORE you run a new installation. During most re-installations, all existing data is replaced with GIST "Sample" data.

Except for very special situations, always use the "Typical" Setup selection, and the default suggestions for the target drive and folder name.

   **************************************************

POSSIBLE INSTALLATION ISSUES:

When running GIST "Setup", if a message appears saying that the file named "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Wininet.dll" is "already present" and/or "In-Use", just click the "Ignore" button.

Do the same thing if a second "error message" apprears saying the same thing about another file named "C:\Windows\System\URLMON.DLL". Just click the "Ignore" button again.

Some computers already have and use those files, and some don't.

  ***************************************************

One other possible issue happens in computers which either have (or had) another version of MS-Access installed prior to GIST.

If present, this issue occurs after GIST is installed, and just before it displays the "Main Menu". A small popup window will appear saying that the file named "RegWin.Dat" is either missing or corrupt, and the program will reset to an "UnRegistered Version".

The reason this window sometimes appears is because there are prior MS Access settings in the System Registry which tell the computer to look elsewhere for all Access files.

To fix this, select the "MENUS INDEX TAB" near the top of the "Main Menu". On the next menu, click the "SETUP BUTTON". Then, in the "SETUP MENU", click on the "SET DEFAULT DRIVE" button. Enter the hard drive letter where you installed GIST during the original setup routine.

After you restart GIST, this issue will no longer exist, and the program will revert back to it's original "Registered or UnRegistered" version.
