1.1 brouard 57:
1.5 ! brouard 58: <p> Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which
! 59: had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version
! 60: 0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both
! 61: executables <tt>imach.exe</tt> and <tt>gnuplot.exe</tt> (the grapher
! 62: that we are using) have to be on the same directory.
! 63:
! 64: <br> In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach
! 65: extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking
! 66: on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with
! 67: the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).<br>
! 68:
! 69: But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed
! 70: to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges.
! 71:
! 72: <br>
! 73: Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install
! 74: the progam (usually in <tt>\Program Files\imach</tt> and will
! 75: modify the registry to associate <tt>.imach</tt> extension to notepad and imach, and a
! 76: second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you
! 77: will be able to install the programs in your home directory and
! 78: run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able
! 79: to use the facility of the right clicking.
