UUDeview for Windows Installation

File Downloads

Installation is pretty simple. The first step, of course, is to download the necessary files. Just click on the links below to download a file.

Zip Archives

You will receive the files archived using the popular zip file format. You need a separate program to extract the original files from the archive. Skip this section if you are already familiar with zip files.

Here are two popular programs to do the job:

Installing the VB Runtime

If you have downloaded the Visual Basic Runtime Library from above, you must also install it. Use the program of your choice to extract the Library (vbrun300.dll) from the downloaded zip archive, and just copy it into your Windows System directory (usually c:\windows\system).

Installing UUDeview

The installation of UUDeview is just as simple. Create a new directory, and copy the downloaded file (uudvw10.zip) into it. Then use the program of your choice to extract all files from the archive into the very same directory.

To run UUDeview, just double-click on uudeview.exe in the File Manager.

If you are running Windows 95, you can create a shortcut to uudeview.exe; for Windows 3.x, just "drag" uudeview.exe from the File Manager and "drop" it into an appropriate folder in the Program Manager.

That's it! Congratulations, you are now running UUDeview for Windows.


UUDeview for Windows is a program written by Michael Newcomb, based on Frank Pilhofer's Decoding Library. Source code to both parts is available. For details, check the main page.
