ReadMe File for Win Convert Express

· Installing Win Convert Express

The file, wcexp100.exe, is a self-extracting setup 
file.  You simply need to double-click this file 
and you will be lead through the installation process.

Win Convert Express was written in Visual Basic 5.0.
It therefore requires that the Visual Basic runtime
libraries be installed before attempting to install 
Win Convert Express.  These libraries are not provided
with Win Convert Express for several reasons.  One 
being some users may already have the Visual Basic 
runtime libraries on their machines.  By not including 
these files, those users do not have to download the 
extra one megabyte in file size that the Visual Basic 
runtime libraries would require.  Another reason is 
that these runtimes are readily available from various 
FTP sites where the most recent versions can be found.  

After installation, if you get a "Wrong Version of 
Runtime" error then you'll need to find a Visual 
Basic runtime package with the later versions of 
the runtime.  These packages are dated later than 
Aug 1997, or could be marked as "Service Pack 2".
