A.
The satpcsetup_e.ZIP file(for European users) and satpcsetup_a.ZIP file (for Northamerican users) contain the setup files of the SatPC32 program package. The setup program will install the SatPC32 demo version (the only restriction of the demo vs. the full version: the user has to enter the geographical coordinates of his location at any program start).

To activate the full version you need to register the program at AMSAT-DL (European users), AMSAT-UK (users in Great Britain) or AMSAT-NA (Northamerican users). If you want to register, click on the 'Register' button in the window that will open after program start. The 'Registration' window then will be displayed. For more info click on the 'Info' button in that window. 

After registration and payment you will receive a password, which will activate the full version.

The password is valid also for possible program updates.

1.If you have installed an older version of SatPC32 read first the Update Instructions, please.

To install the SatPC32 Demo do the following:
2. 
a. Create a new folder somewhere on your HD and name it (e.g.) SatSetup.

b. Download the proper satpcsetup file. Windows will store the file in it's  'Downloads' folder. Click on the 'Downloads' button of your browser (usually a blue down arrow) and then on the name of the downloaded ZIP file. Winzip will now show the content of the ZIP file. 

IMPORTANT: DON'T TRY TO START THE SETUP PROGRAM IN THIS WINDOW! That will not work and during the  installation process you will get the message that you need administrator rights (even if you are the administrator).

CLICK ON 'Extract' > 'On my PC' INSTEAD! Navigate to the SatSetup folder and extract the ZIP file. Now RIGHT click on 'setup' and from the list hat opens choose the option 'Run as administrator' and follow the suggestions of the setup program..  

c. The setup program  will install SatPC32 into the 
      'C:\Program Files\SatPC32' folder.    

It will generate short cuts to the SatPC32 programs in the 'Programs'  folder and put shortcuts to SatPC32 and SatPC32ISS on the desktop. Also, some programs can be started via the SatPC32 menu 'Programs'.
