Tci Program....An Experiment, Help Please.

Tci Program....An Experiment, Help Please.

2004-11-12 by Gary

Is there someone on here that could try an experiment with that Tci
PCB Program.

I was Curious Why the Downloaded program was 2.7mb, when the actual
program is Quite Small.

So I Created a Non-installed file that contains the complete program.
Its only 104kb.

All I require is someone that HAS NOT YET INSTALLED the Origional
Program to try this out for me.

I DID THIS AND It works on my computer, but I don't know if Win98 is
somehow Linking the two Programs together.
THIS "MUST" BE SOMEONE THAT HAS NOT INSTALLED THE ORIGIONAL PROGRAM!
I would Prefer someone with Win98 to try it.but I don't know if other
versions of windows would be any different.

What Involved:
1) Just E-mail me.
2) I'll give you a link to download my file.
3) you create a Folder for it.
4) You download my file into it.
5) you click on it to Expand it. When you do, it will ask you if you
want to proceed, Answer Yes. It will than ask you if you want to
create the Sub Directory (Folder). Answer Yes.
6) Now just go into That Folder you created and click on the Tci.exe
file.
It should Open the program and run Perfectly Normal, With my English
names in it.
Worse comes to Worse and it doesn't work, Just delete the Entire
Folder. This is NOT ACTUALLY BEING INSTALLED, so there will be No
Problems.

Someone PLEASE.

Take care...........Gary

The 2.7 MB file has four files in it. They are a text document (1 KB) the
setup.exe (140 KB) the setup.lst (10 KB) and a cab (cabinet file)
(2,679KB).

The cab file is where all the good stuff is - including 5 ActiveX controls,
3 applications, 13 application extensions, about 60 Trace de CI files.

The 3 executable files are tci.exe (the program), setup.exe (setup), and
st6unist.exe (the uninstall file).

After you install you can throw away the setup.exe others than that you
need all the others.

cheers,
john g
