Getting Started:  PM 3.5 Installation

Installing ProjectMaster 3.5 is easy. The key to a smooth installation is making sure that your environment is ready.

First, make sure you have both Microsoft Visio 2000 and Word 2000 installed on your system. If you're not sure, open your Start menu and select Programs. A normal installation of either of the above two programs would put a shortcut in this folder.

Once you see that both Visio and Word are installed on your system, verify your system meets the minimum system requirements to run ProjectMaster. Don't worry if you don't know all the specifics of your system, if you're running both Visio and Word successfully, you're system should be just fine.

Minimum System Requirements
Microsoft Windows: Windows 98 Windows NT4.0 (SP5) Windows 2000 Windows XP	Processor Speed - 266 Mhz or better 64 MB RAM 1GB hard disk space CD-ROM drive MS Visio 2000 MS Word 2000/XP MS Project 2000 for export

When you're sure your system will handle ProjectMaster, all you have to do is put the CD in the CD-ROM drive the rest should take care of itself. If you have disabled the Autorun feature on your computer, or the installation does not begin automatically, either select Run from the Start menu and type D:\setup (where D: is the letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive) and click OK.

Running PM 3.5
