Installation
------------

Important! If you've got Disk Inspector not from our web page, but from
the other source (magazine CD or some software library), please
visit Disk Inspector home page - you'll probably find the later version;
usually, we release the updates about once a month.

I recommend you to uninstall the previous version of Disk Inspector (if
you have one) from your computer before installing this one. You
can do this via "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet. If
you'll get the notification that the Disk Inspector folder is not empty, be
careful when removing it: it may contain the .dic and  .dix files (the
databases created by Disk Inspector) you may wish to keep.

To install Disk Inspector, just run the "setup.exe" and follow the
instructions. 

Registration
