Installing AudioTools Pro
AudioTools Pro consists of a number of files that are distributed as a single compressed archive. If you have received an 'unpacked' copy (consisting of single files), it is recommended that you download a fresh copy, because your copy is probably incomplete or has been tampered with. AudioTools Pro does not run on a locked volume, such as a CD ROM. You must copy it to your hard disk or some other writable volume.
Macintosh
- Unstuff the archive. A folder called 'AudioTools Pro (version#)' is created on your hard disk. After you have expanded the file and verified operation, you can delete the compressed file to reclaim hard disk space or pass it on to someone else.
- Drag the folder to the preferred location on your hard disk. Important: Please make sure that all files remain inside the AudioTools Pro folder. Do not move or remove them independently and do not change any file names, otherwise fatal errors will occur.
- Open the folder and double click the AudioTools Pro application icon. Your copy is verified and initialized. Installation is now complete. If any errors are returned during this procedure, your copy is probably damaged. Please make sure you have followed these instructions and try again. If you still have problems, contact technical support.
Tip: Create an alias of the main file (with the AudioTools Pro icon) and drag it onto your desktop, or move it to the Apple menu (by dragging it into the 'Apple menu items' folder inside your system folder). Do not move the file independently. Create an alias instead.
Windows
- Doubleclick the download archive and follow the on-screen instructions to install AudioTools Pro. When installation is complete, you can delete the compressed file to reclaim hard disk space or pass it on to someone else.
- If you accepted all defaults during installation, AudioTools Pro is available from the Windown 'Start' menu, along with an internet shortcut to the rootsolutions website and an 'Uninstall' program, should you ever wish to delete AudioTools Pro. In addition, a desktop shortcut is created.
- Start the AudioTools Pro application. Your copy is verified and initialized. Installation is now complete. If any errors are returned during this procedure, your copy is probably damaged. Please make sure you have followed these instructions and try again. If you still have problems, contact technical support.
