INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
 


YanceyDesktop will run on any machine supported
by the Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework. 
If you do not have .NET 2.0 installed on your system, the YanceyDesktop Installer will download and install it for you automatically or click here to go to the Microsoft .NET 2.0 download site.

Use the link above to download "YanceyDesktop x.xx.xxxx.exe" to your local machine and double click it to start the install.  Follow the prompts.

To use YanceyDesktop, you must have a folder setup as a Yanceyware Library.  You can start by copying the YW Library folder from your PPC version to your desktop or you can create a new library on your PC by following the instructions on www.yanceyware.com/support (see the FAQ).  Start YWD by using the Start Programs button and selecting YanceyDesktop from the YanceyDesktop folder.

The first time YanceyDesktop is run, it will take extra time to start while it finishes the installation procedure - subsequent startups are much faster.  YWD will first look for a YanceyWare library directory “C:\YWLibrary”.  If it doesn’t find it, it will prompt you for a library location: tell it where to find your *.ybk files.  YWD remembers this location.  If a library.html file already exists, it will show it.  If not, use the File | Library Refresh command to create one. 

By default, YanceyDesktop uses it's own advanced menu system.  This menu is customizable by the user (for the technically inclined).  YWD will also use classic YW "library menus" stored in the .\YanceyWare\Menu subdirectory of your library.  Use the Tools | Options | Menus dialog, select the, "Use library menu" options, then click "OK".  This same dialog can be used to select from multiple menu styles.
