TP Installation Tips

 With XP the tp.exe seems to work on its own.

 The tp.exe that one extracts from the tp4XXexe.zip will probably not work on its own with older levels of Windows.
You need some dll along with it.
 The list of used  dll is in the install.html file.

A full install package is too big for normal download speed, 21 MB in total.
If you got VB at hand, contact me, ulfa at global.co,za  ( this email id is garbled on purpose to avoid spam from webcrawlers) and we make a plan.

  The tp.exe code works best if installed  under C:\TP\code

  Try to install into C: drive, if possbile.

     If you end up under c:\Program Files\TP  the code still works.
   But the F1, Online Help, might not work.

    In that case, copy the tp directory, so that you end up with a directory structure  that looks like this

      C:\tp\code       and       C:\tp\doc

 


 To make the  sample comp zip file work,  unzip it so that a directory c:\comps  gets created.

  By default the code looks for the sample in C:\comps

  To modify this, change the TP.ini file.   You find the tp.ini file where the tp.exe is located.
