Everything you need to know about installing gDoc™ Fusion and gDoc Creator™ is in the gDoc User Manual . The following information helps you get going without reading the complete document but please, if you still have a problem, consult the User Manual.

Does your system meet these requirements?

Are you running one of these Windows versions?

• Microsoft® Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or 3 (32-bit or 64-bit).
• Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (32-bit or 64-bit).
• Microsoft® Windows 7 Starter, Microsoft® Windows Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Microsoft®® Windows Server® 2003 with Service Pack 2 (32-bit or 64-bit).

Does your computer have at least:

• A minimum of 512 MB of RAM.
• A minimum of 250 MB of available hard-disk space.
• A minimum of 1024 x 768 screen resolution.

Yes to all the above? Great. Let’s move on.

If you already have our installer on your system great. If not, visit our download page.

If you are upgrading, please make sure your license key is appropriate for that build. If you are presently running gDoc version 2.0 or 2.1 you can run version 2.5 with the same key.

If you've installed gDoc Fusion on this system before, you'll be asked if the installer should remove the previous version or if you want to repair. Choose Repair, and then click Next. If this is your first install of gDoc Fusion you will not see this prompt.

You may see the message 'Installing Microsoft® Visual C++ redistributable package...'. This part of the installation can take a while, so please be patient and wait until it completes. [Note: If you "repaired" you will not see this.]

You’ll next be presented with the End User License agreement and if you agree to it select Yes. If you do not, select No to cancel the install, but why would you want to do that? [Note: If you "repaired" you will not see this either.]

When prompted, enter your details in the Customer Information. Be especially careful to enter the correct license key. It's best to use copy and paste for accuracy. If you do not have a license key you can use the product in evaluation mode only. Later, after you’ve purchased gDoc, you can enter the key via gDoc Fusion's Help menu

We suggest using the default location for the application, click Next > in the Choose Destination Location screen. However, if you want to change the default location, click Browse and navigate or enter a new location in the Choose Folder dialog. Generally, it's best to stay with the default. [You will bypass this with a repair.]

As above, it's generally best to use the default program folder "gDoc". To do so click Next >. You can change the Program Folder by selecting an alternative from the list of existing folders followed by clicking Next >. [Not asked on reinstall.]

In the gDoc Fusion Installation screen you can chooose to place a shortcut to the application on the desktop. You can also have gDoc Fusion launch whenever you double click on a PDF or XPS file by choosing to associate .pdf and .xps file extensions with gDoc Fusion. You can also integrate PDF and XPS viewing capability with Microsoft® Internet Explorer. [This screen is viewed by both customers upgrading with a repair option and by first time installers.]

If you choose to associate PDF and XPS files extensions with gDoc Fusion, all PDF and XPS files display a gDoc Fusion icons.

In the Start Copying Files window select Next > to start the installation.

When the Installation Wizard Complete screen appears click Finish to complete the installation. Your gDoc is installed and ready for use. Your patience has been rewarded. You should now see a gDoc Creator and a gDoc Fusion shortcut on your computer's desktop; the programs are ready to use.
