During installation the new version of software this file will be deleted.

• Uninstall the previous version (Uninstall RastrWin in the menu) and delete the folder "C:\Program Files\RastrWin\".

Simultaneous operation of two different versions of the software is impossible!

After removing the previous version or in case of its absence:

• Check the availability of the necessary Windows user rights (the user must have administrator rights on that computer);
• Run RastrDist***.exe, where *** is a version number;
• Enter a distribution password (issued on acquisition);
• Agree with the license rules;
• Select the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files\RastrWin\).

The menu item will be created after a successful installation, e.g.:

• test-rastr - test scheme (steady state, graphical layout, voltage taps, sections, etc.);
• pdf - documentation to print (requires Acrobat Reader);
• macro - macros that appear in the "Run" menu;
• contextmacro - context macros.

 WindowsXP is recommended operating system to work in RastrWin.
