[esp-r] Re: installing on Vista

[Tang, David]

You do not need to install to run Windows esp-r.

Simply copy the folder ESRU from your friend to your C drive.
Then copy GTK into ESRU.
Save the following text in a file (e.g. setpath.bat).
Now open a dos cmd window, type setpath, hit return, the path is set.
Type prj (or esp-r), hit return, voila here you go.

I actually put ESRU on my 256Mb USB stick (F: drive) and runs happily ever
since. 
In this case, I edited default and esprc, you know what to do. 
If you have Administrator priviledge you can set global association too.

========================================
:: Green esp-r, no need to install
:: Copy the package to c:\ as c:\esru
:: to run esp-r, open a cmd; run this batch.
set path=C:\Esru\esp-r\bin;C:\Esru\GTK\bin;%path%
:: to set association remove the following comment
:: assoc .cfg=prj.exe
========================================

Happy esp-r'ing.
