Due to recent changes in the Microsoft Installation Installer, the following steps are required to ensure the proper 
operation of the DL-Windows V3.5 (or higher) software: 
 
STEP 1:   NEW INSTALLATIONS 
If this is a brand new installation of the DL-Windows software, then install in accordance with STEP 3.  If you al-
ready have DL-Windows software installed, then an upgrade may need to be performed.  Proceed to STEP 2. 
 
STEP 2:   UPGRADING AN EXISTING VERSION OF DL-WINDOWS WHEN THE IN-
STALLED VERSION IS LOWER THAN V2.94 
In order to install the enclosed V3.5.4 software, V2.94 (or higher) must already be installed.  For your conven-
ience, V3.0.4B is included on the CD ROM with the V3.5.4 software.  The following procedure will take you 
through upgrading the older versions of the software (prior to V2.94) to V3.0.4B.  If V2.94 (or higher) is in-
stalled, proceed to STEP 3. 
 
1.    Place the V3.5.4 disk into your CD ROM drive. 
2.    The software will attempt to autorun V3.5.4--click on the Cancel button to stop this procedure. 
3.    Access the CD ROM drive and double-click on the folder named DLWIN304. 
4.    Double-click  on  the Setup.exe icon and follow the Installation Wizard instructions.  Note:  Be certain to 
select the correct language Setup.exe icon (Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese are also available).  After 
completing this step, proceed to STEP 3, below. 
 
STEP 3:   UPGRADING AN EXISTING VERSION OF DL-WINDOWS WHEN THE IN-
STALLED VERSION IS V2.94 (OR HIGHER) OR NEW INSTALLATION 
1.    Insert the DL-Windows 3.5 (or higher) installation disk into your CD-ROM drive.  Follow the Installation 
Wizard instructions.  When installation is complete, do NOT remove the installation disk from the drive. 
2.    Double-click  the DL-Windows desktop icon while the DL-Windows disk is in the drive.  The installation 
software will take the extra steps necessary to fully update the previous version of DL-Windows to ver-
sion 3.5 (or higher).   
3.    At the end of the installation, the DL-Windows software will run. 
4.    If XP Styles are enabled, a Please Turn Off XP Styles… popup message will appear.  Click Yes for in-
structions to turn off XP Styles. 
5.    A DL-Windows login screen opens.  Press Enter. 
 
Note:  If this installation was an upgrade of the software, run the Import Utility in STEP 4.  If this was a 
brand new installation of the version 3.5.5 software, upon opening of the program, proceed to the ac-
count tree and create new accounts. 
 
STEP 4:   IMPORTING PRE-EXISTING DATABASE USING THE IMPORT UTILITY 
1. Click Start, Programs, DL-Windows, Import Utility.
