- Using Explorer, locate the file el302pgp.exe
- Double click on it
- This will launch the InstallShield Wizard that will prepare two files, Elght302.exe (Eudora) and pgp50.exe (PGP) to be installed on the system
This tutorial will not deal with the PGP section as it is not required for Eudora to function. |
A file called Readthis.txt will be displayed - READ IT ! It confirms where the files were placed in your system among other things. |
 |
- Remember to note which directory these files are placed in
- Using Explorer move to the directory as noted above and double click on Elght302.exe
- It is most important that Elght302.exe be executed first so as allow the PGP
files to be married to the already Installed Eudora!
