VB ELF is installed by running the setup program found on the VB ELF CD-ROM or downloaded from our server. The installation program is called either VBELFPAK.EXE or a similar name, depending on which configuration you have purchased.

By default, VB ELF will install itself into the Program Files directory. It will also create a program group, giving you quick access to the samples and documentation we ship with the software.

Developers often begin using VB ELF by downloading ONLY the source code and compiling it on their machines; this way they're up and running before the CD even arrives. If you follow this plan, you'll need to review the VB ELF Developer's Document to make sure that all the third-party controls used by VB ELF are available on your system, with the appropriate design time licenses. Don't worry; we haven't used anything that doesn't ship with Visual Basic itself...and all the components are carefully documented in the Developer's guide.

VB ELF also sports the standard method for uninstalling a Windows application. Just select Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel (reached via Start/Settings on the Windows taskbar). Pick VB ELF from the list of uninstallable applications.
