[Dxbase] DXbase 2007 and Windows Seven

Mon Jun 21 15:11:06 EDT 2010

Hello Jean
There are a few things that you should do outside of the normal way to
install DXBase 2007. These will not be needed when the next release comes
out but until then:
1. I would recommend to create a directory (eg. DXBase) at the root of your
C drive and install DXBase 2007 into it instead of accepting the default
location of C:\Program Files\Scientific Solutions\DXBase2007.
2. Once you have installed DXBase, open the directory you installed it in,
right-click the file called Hosts and select Copy. Then go to
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and paste the file there. This is needed
because Windows 7 will not the fill be installed there automatically.
3. Microsoft changed the format of Help files from the way DXBase has them,
so you will need to install their reader in order to access the help files.

you should be set!
