Installation on Windows

System Requirements

Hamilton C shell will install and run on any Windows 9x, NT, 2000, XP or Server 2003 machine so long as it’s based on an Intel or AMD processor chip.

Roughly 7M of disk space is required.

Basic Installation

Simply run “Setup.exe” from the CD or from a networked location.

Hamilton C shell uses the standard Microsoft installer to ensure an easy, automated install and a complete uninstall. There are no manual steps to copy files or create shortcuts.

Hamilton C shell does not use any registry keys except just the ones the installer creates so that the Control Panel’s Add or Remove Programs applet can do a clean uninstall.

You will be prompted to accept the End-User License Agreement, to confirm the directory where the program files should be installed, and choose whether this installation is for just for you or for all users.

If you choose "all users," the start menu and desktop shortcuts will be in the $AllUsersProfile directory tree. If you choose "just for you," those shortcuts will be in the $UserProfile directory tree. Otherwise, there is no difference between the two installation options.

A log of the setup activity can be found in the Hamilton C shell 2003\Setup directory.

UNinstallation from Windows

To completely remove Hamilton C shell

To remove Hamilton C shell from your machine, use the Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs applet. Hamilton C shell is very well-behaved: Anything created during the installation (registry keys, shortcuts, etc.) will be totally removed.
