vuFileTools - Installation

When you run the installer for vuFileTools, it locates valid Clarion installations on your computer and lets you choose which one to install the template for.

You can run the installer multiple times and install to multiple versions of Clarion without any problem. Each Clarion version receives its own complete vuFileTools setup, allowing independent updates or removals without affecting other versions.

The installer will set up separate folders, links to help files, and installed files as needed.

You can update or remove one version of vuFileTools without affecting any other installed copy.


Installed File Locations

By default, the installers follow the standards and guidelines for Clarion third-party developers.

Working Files

The working files are installed into the appropriate subfolders of the root accessory folder beneath your base Clarion installation folder.

For example:

C:\Clarion12                           (base Clarion folder)
C:\Clarion12\accessory                 (root accessory folder)
C:\Clarion12\accessory\bin
    vuFT5.dll
C:\Clarion12\accessory\lib
    vuFT5.lib
C:\Clarion12\accessory\template\win
    vuFileTools.tpl

C:\Clarion12\accessory\Documents\LANSRAD\vuFileTools
    vuFileTools.chm

Example Files

The example applications are installed into the appropriate subfolders of the standard Clarion examples location.

This location is in the Users\Public\Documents\SoftVelocity folder so that it is available to any user profile on the installation computer.

For example:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftVelocity\Clarion12
C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftVelocity\Clarion12\accessory
    vuFileTools                 (a shortcut link to quickly access the product examples)

C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftVelocity\Clarion12\accessory\LANSRAD
C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftVelocity\Clarion12\accessory\LANSRAD\vuFileTools
    vuFileToolsDemos.html       (notes about the demo programs)
    Demo Folders                (such as SingleExe or Multi-DLL)

Each demo folder contains the files relevant to that example application.
