There are two types of files posted on the DOE2.com eQUEST website,
full/complete installations and updates.<br>
Every link to an update should include the word "update" in the text of
the link and either "update" or "upd" in the name of the file that the
link downloads. Minor updates, such as v3.60 to 3.60b often indicate
only the updated version in the update file name, in this case
"eQ_3-60b_Update_06-08-19.zip". Updates are posted as either .zip or
.exe files. The ".zip"s are to be unzipped over the base release and
".exe"s (self-extracting zip files) provide a more automated mechanism
for updating a release, including a screen which enable the user to
specify the directory of the eQUEST version to be updated (that
defaults to the default directory name for that release).<br>
<br>
Links to full/complete installations use words including "complete",
"installation" and "setup", are always posted as .exe files and the
downloaded file always includes the word "Setup". The full
installation files tend to be quite a bit larger than the updates and
never require the presence (or absence) of previous versions in order
to install properly.<br>
Multiple versions of eQUEST can peacefully co-exist on a single
computer, though once multiple versions are present the user needs to
keep closer track of how they start the application and where the
projects are being stored in order to prevent projects from being
opened or saved by an unintended version. A simpler approach however
is to uninstall previous versions of eQUEST before installing new ones.<br>
Any project files created by a user SHOULD NOT be removed (by the
system) when a version is uninstalled, but to be safe we do recommend
that you copy/archive project files to a location not under the eQUEST
program directory prior to uninstalling a version. If a new version of
eQUEST is not installed in the same directory as the previous version
and access to the projects produced by the previous version is desired,
then those older version project files should be manually copied over
to the new version's "Projects" subdirectory in order to be easily
accessed by the new version.<br>
<br>
<u>VISTA Compatibility:</u> As stated in a previous post - eQUEST does
need "administrator" privileges to operate most effectively (in a manor
that is consistent w/ its operation on prior Windows operating
systems). The easiest way we have found to accomplish this is to use
Vista's Program Compatibility Wizard. Here is some guidance on doing
this (assuming the default Control Panel settings and a user with
administrator privleges):<br>
(1) From the start menu, choose Control Panel -> Programs ->
under "Programs and Features" choose "Use an older program with this
version of Windows", which will start up the "Program Compatibility
Wizard"<br>
(2) Select the eQUEST program via either selection from a list of
programs or "manually" by browsing to the eQUEST program directory
("C:\Program Files\eQUEST X-XX" by default) and selecting eQUEST.exe.<br>
(3) We recommend selecting "Microsoft Windows 2000" as the
"compatibility mode" for eQUEST<br>
(4) No boxes should be checked on the "display settings for the
program" screen.<br>
(5) Make sure to check the box labeled "Run this program as an
administrator" and continue through the wizard following instructions
provided.<br>
We are in the process of designing program changes that will serve to
modify the default storage locations of files created and/or modified
by eQUEST to prevent the need for using the compatibility wizard on
future versions and appreciate your patience as we integrate this work
into our pipeline.<br>
