Spacejock Software Installer
Because all my programs share the same basic set of files, I've written a program called the Spacejock Install center to make your life easier (and save both of us some bandwidth). You only have to download the Install Centre once - after installation, you can use the simple interface to retrieve and install any of my programs. If you're running a firewall, you will need to give the Install Center access to port 80 (internet) so that it can retrieve information about the programs available and also so that it can download the programs themselves.
Primary download site: Installer Full Install (3mb)
Instructions:
Please note: for three years I signed my installers with SSL certificates, but this year the price is suddenly triple what it used to be. So, no more installer signing, because there is no way I'm paying $600 to code-sign free software.
1) Download the installation file. Locate the file and run your normal anti-virus scan on it. Once you're happy it's free of viruses, run the installation file. You should see something like this:
Click Yes to proceed or No to cancel.
Instead of the above, Windows may throw up a warning similar to the one below:
At this point you either trust me (and my company, Spacejock Software) and click 'Yes', or you click 'No' and delete the installer. That's up to you - just bear in mind I set up this website over twenty years ago, and if I was offering dodgy software someone would have closed it down by now, wouldn't they? I'm also an author with almost thirty novels in print, and my reputation matters to me!
2) Follow the prompts to set it up. (The defaults are fine)
3) Locate the Spacejock Software entry in your start menu. The program you just installed will have an entry there. Click the program icon to run it.
System Requirements:
Visual Basic 6 runtimes (included in the installer)
