Instructions
Step 1
Install the program by running the Setup.exe file. Accept the requests in all windows and click "Next". After installing the main module, we need to supplement this module with updates and help files. To do this, open a text editor and create a new document. In the body of this document, place the following lines (32-bit version):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / WinHelp]
"AllowProgrammaticMacros" = dword: 00000001
64-bit version:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Wow6432Node / Microsoft / WinHelp]
"AllowProgrammaticMacros" = dword: 00000001
After that, click the menu "File" - "Save As" - name the file "AllowWinHelpMacros_32bit.reg" or "AllowWinHelpMacros_64bit.reg" (for 32- and 64-bit versions of the program) - click "Save". After that, run the required file - in the dialog box, click "Yes".
Step 2
Right-click on the program shortcut - "Properties" - "Compatibility" - "Run the program in compatibility mode with …" - Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Check the box next to "Disable Desktop Composition".
Step 3
Install the necessary fonts that come with the program:
Vector fonts:
