Windows Vista issues:
The program has been tested and runs properly on Windows Vista.
However, there are two issues:
I. The
installer above may not succeed in creating a working program (even though it
finishes installing without reporting a problem). I am not sure what the
problem is, but I have
found a workaround. You should uninstall the (broken) copy of FAWAVE (and,
you might also want to check that the files
ppro100.ocx,
ppro100.dll, and pptif100.dll
are removed from
the Windows/System folder -- those are the offending files reported
by FAWAVE when it fails to run). After that, you should run the following
installer:
Download
Fawave (Version 2.0, Vista patch)
This installer is kind of clunky, but has been
reported to install a properly working FAWAVE program on Vista, when the above
installer has failed. [The first installer has had no
reported problems on any pre-Vista Windows system, and operates more smoothly,
so I have made it the default installer.]
II. Windows
Vista no longer ships with
WinHelp32.exe
which is needed to
view the online help. If you can't view the online help, then you
need to go to the Microsoft website (
http://www.microsoft.com/
)
and search for WinHelp32.exe to bring up the download page for
installing
WinHelp32.exe
on Windows Vista machines.
Once you have installed
WinHelp32.exe
then Fawave's online
help will be accessible.
Please note:
(1) a
comprehensive User's Manual is installed in the Help subfolder of the Fawave
folder during installation, and that PDF file is readable and printable with the
free program
Adobe Acrobat Reader
; (2) this
online help issue applies only to Windows Vista (earlier versions of Windows
allow the online help upon installation of Fawave).
