9  Improved Installation and Un-Install for Windows

A upgraded feature in Setup provides an automatic un-installation via an icon in the TRUET_EX program group, accessed from the Windows Start menu. (First available in 4.1D.) Un-installing TRUET_EX will unregister the TRUET_EX fonts and remove the TRUET_EX application files; it will not remove the directory tree itself or any files added there since installation, nor will it remove the program group from the start menu. You will probably have to shut-down and re-start Windows to completely recover disk space freed by the un-installation, since the un-install process defers removal of certain files that the Windows system locks (such as fonts that have been in use, and the setup.exe executable itself) until the next system re-start. After the re-start, you can use the Windows Explorer to remove the TRUET_EX directory tree (but be sure that you first move or back-up any important files that you might have added there).

You can remove the Start Menu ``TrueTeX'' group from your Windows system by right-clicking the Start button, selecting ``Open'', then double-clicking ``Programs'' in the Start Menu window, highlighting the ``TrueTeX'' icon with a single click, and finally pressing the [Delete] key.

After un-installing, you can run Setup again from the distribution disks to re-install TRUET_EX; this should not affect any extra files you may have retained in the directory tree.

TRUET_EX no longer supports automatic installation in Windows 3.1.

The previewer application still installs in two versions, a 16-bit and 32-bit version. The 16-bit version is somewhat faster than the 32-bit version and is appropriate for ordinary T_EX documents, while the 32-bit version can handle special features such as Unicode fonts (described below). The formatter is only a 32-bit application.
