Important Notes: 

If you are not already logged in as owner with administrative 
privileges log into Windows as Administrator.

Unzip the files to your local C-Drive and start the 32-bit 
installation by double-clicking the "EccoPro 32 - Installation.msi".
The 32-bit package will install all necessary registry 
entries including the Palm conduits, the new "Ecco32.exe.manifest" 
file plus the "default.ect" template fix.  If you would like to use 
the "Help" menu option please start and install additionally the 
for Vista and Windows 7 necessary 32-bit MS Help programs available
in their respective folders in the main "Ecco" Program directory.

If you plan to hotsync your Palm device after a Palm Desktop
installation with EccoPro please right click the HotSync Manager
icon, adjust the "Settings" for "Applications"(click "Show details")
and set the actions for the corresponding Palm Desktop applications 
to "Do nothing". There is no need to edit the Windows Registry.
If you used the Palm HotSync before your upgrade please see
"http://www.compusol.org/ecco/hotsync.html".

Here is how our new one-click Installer works: The Vista/Windows 7
installations require different folder names. The "NetManage ECCO
Pro" folder will be copied to: "c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\
Start Menu\Programs". Additionally, 64-bit installations require
a different program folder for 32-bit programs. Instead of using 
the folder "Program Files" all necessary EccoPro program files
will be copied to the sub-folder "ECCO" of the "Program Files (x86)"
folder. If you upgrade from an older version, make sure you 
uninstall EccoPro first. After the new installation copy your old
Ecco Data file into the main ECCO folder under "Program Files (x86)".

Windows 7 uses enhanced file and folder security settings. Our new
Installer takes care of all permissions for you. Should you get the
"Can't write to file" permission error right-click your ".eco" data
file, click on Properties, go to the Security tab and edit the
permissions for "Users" to "Full Control". If you share synchronized
copies of ".eco" do the same in your local "Ecconet" or "Eccoshare"
folder for the files ending in .ECG .ECB .bk1 and .bk2.

Enjoy the best PIM ever made,
