Use the three-disk setup if you plan to install the West Point Bridge Designer 2007 on a computer using 3.5" (1.44 MB) diskettes. This setup is particularly useful if you need to install the software on a computer that is not connected to the Internet or a local network. To do the three-disk setup:

1. There are two sets of setup files--one for Windows XP computers and one for computers running all other versions of Windows. Locate the correct set of three files.
2. Click the download button for Disk 1 (setup7xd.exe or setup7d.exe).
3. Your browser will display a dialog box asking if you want to save the file or open it. Choose the Save option. WARNING: Do not use the Open (or Run) option! If you choose this option, the installation will fail.
4. Save the Disk 1 file (setup7xd.exe or setup7d.exe) to your hard drive. Remember where you put it. Do not save the file directly to a 3.5" diskette. If you save directly to a diskette, you are more likely to experience file decompression errors.
   
5. Click the download button for Disk 2 (setup7xd.2 or setup7d.2) and save the file to the same folder on your hard drive.
6. Click the download button for Disk 3 (setup7xd.3 or setup7d.3) and save the file to the same folder on your hard drive.
7. Start up Windows Explorer and locate the folder where you saved all three files. Copy each file onto a separate blank, formatted 3.5" diskette. Label the diskettes "Disk 1," "Disk 2," and "Disk 3."
8. To install the software, first shut down all Windows programs, including your web browser. Please don't ignore this step! Most installation problems are caused by system file conflicts that occur when the user leaves a virus checker, web browser, or other software running on the computer while executing the setup program.
9. Place Disk 1 into the 3.5" disk drive on the computer. Using Windows Explorer, locate setup7xd.exe or setup7d.exe on the diskette and double-click it.
10. Follow the instructions for installation of the software. When prompted, insert each of the two remaining setup disks.

If You Have a Problem With Installation
Some old versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser have a bug that erroneously causes an extra ".2" or ".3" extension to be added to the end of the file names setup7d.2 and setup7d.3 during downloading. If you are having trouble with the three-disk setup, check the file names of the second and third setup files. If the names are setup7d.2.2 and setup7d.3.3, you have the faulty version of Internet Explorer. You can fix the installation problem by changing the names of these two files back to files setup7d.2 and setup7d.3 . You also might want to consider upgrading your browser.
