Introduction
GeoStat provides a self installation
program that handles the installation, upgrade and repair tools for your
system.
Un-Install Previous Versions
To upgrade your current GeoStat installation
always start by un-installing all existing GeoStat
programs. To un-install
GeoStat, place the CD in your system's drive. This CD does not contain an auto
run option and you should open and view the contents of the CD with Windows Explorer or
similar method.

click on the file setup.exe. The setup routine will launch and guide you
through the steps required.

The Un-Install process does not remove any saved
GeoStat data files or Windows registry files associated with
GeoStat. Therefore, the updated
GeoStat will retain the preference settings
when upgrading. We recommend that you always make a backup copy of
your GeoStat data files as a normal operating procedure.

Once completed, the installer will notify you of the success of the
installation process. Should any errors occur, you will be notified. The
most common error noted has been leaving GeoStat active while attempting to
install. This will cause an error and the
installation process will fail. Please ensure all programs are closed before performing
the installation.
Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader
The Geomet On Line Help files are created in the Adobe pdf (Portable Document Format).
To view these files, it is required that Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on your system.
To install the Reader, open the Geomet Installation CD and navigate to the folder
ACROREAD,
then open Installers. The installation program is named
AdbeRdr60_enu_full.EXE.
Launch this program and follow the installation instructions.
You can also install directly from the Adobe through
this link:
Once the program has been installed, launch the program and follow the instruction on
using the Reader. Once you answer the questions, the Reader will now be ready for use by
Geomet and other programs.
