GeneNotes has been tested for Windows XP. We are not supporting Windows 2000 anymore though GeneNotes may still work well on Windows 2000. If you already install GeneNotes and want to install the new version, you need to uninstall the old version first.

 

(a) Installation instructions for Windows XP:

You can choose one of the following ways

(1) Suggested: If you are the administrator of your computer, download the installation file GeneNotes.msi. Double click GeneNotes.msi after download it. The program will guide you through the installation procedure. If installation succeeds, a shortcut to GeneNotes will be added to the desktop of your computer.

(2) Alternative: If you are not the administrator, download file: GeneNotes_Release.zip. Unzip GeneNotes_Release.zip to a directory. The decompressed files include GeneNotes.exe. Launch GeneNotes.exe to use GeneNotes.

 

(b) NOT SUPPORTED ANY MORE. Installation instructions for Windows 2000:

Note: If you have the version for Windows 2000 on your computer, you can use GeneNotes.msi, which is smaller and quicker to download.

(1) Download GeneNotes installation file: GeneNotesSetup.zip.

(2) Unzip GeneNotesSetup.zip. You will find five files: dotnetfx.exe, MDAC_TYP.exe, GeneNotes.msi, settings.ini, and GeneNotesInstaller.exe.

(3) Run GeneNotesInstaller.exe, which will guide you through the installation procedure. If installation succeeds, a shortcut to GeneNotes will be added to the desktop of your computer.

 

 

(c) Un-installation instructions

Important: If you have been using the note database file comes with the installation file, you must back it up. The un-installation procedure will delete all the GeneNotes related files setup by the installation file.

Note: If you use GeneNotes_Release.zip, you do not need to uninstall GeneNotes because GeneNotes_Release.zip does not register GeneNotes with your operating system.

 

To uninstall

(1) In the Windows Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

(2) In the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, select GeneNotes and click Remove.

(3) Click OK to close the dialog box.
