This is the latest version, and requires a computer with a Pentium-class cpu or newer, and Windows 98 or newer, to run.

Known issues/problems with Windows Vista & Windows 7

An error can occur during installation in Windows Vista and Windows 7, regarding problems registering a file called dao350.dll. If this error occurs, simply click "Ignore" to complete the program installation.
To run properly under Windows Vista and Windows 7, the program shortcut need to be manually modified (right-click - properties) to start the program in "Windows XP sp3" compatibility mode. See this screenshot for some details.

Older versions (16-bit) prior to v3.0

The program versions prior to v3.0 is distributed in ZIP compressed files, which need to be decompressed before the program can be installed. If you don't have a ZIP decompression utility, there are links to two decompression utilities below.

There are two distribution ZIP files available, one complete and one small version. The complete version includes the two system files VB40016.DLL and OC25.DLL, which is needed by the program, while the small version does not include these two files.

If you don't have these two files on your computer (they should be located in your \windows\system directory), then you must download the complete version.

If you have these two files, downloading the small version is recommended since it will be much faster.

If you are unsure if you have them or not, then you should download the complete version.

PKUNZIP (29 kB)	ZIP decompression utility, by PKWARE. This is a DOS utility, that can be used to decompress the ZIP'ed distribution file of QRB & QTE (see below).

WinZip	ZIP compression/decompression utility, by Nico Mak Computing. This is a Windows utility, that can be used to decompress the ZIP'ed distribution file.

Using PKUNZIP

If using the PKUNZIP utility to decompress the distribution files, you must open a DOS prompt session, and change to the directory where you stored the downloaded distribution file. See the example below:

First change to the directory where you downloaded the program to (i.e. \DOWNLOAD), using the CD command:

cd \download

Then, create a new temporary sub-directory (i.e. TMP) using the MD command:

md tmp

Then issue the following command to decompress the files into the directory "TMP":

pkunzip qrbqte21.zip tmp

After having done all this, close the DOS session, and return back to Windows. Now, choose RUN on the Start/File menu, and type the following command to start the installation:

c:\download\tmp\setup.exe

If you don't feel comfortable working at the DOS prompt, there are several good Windows programs available for decompressing ZIP files, one of my favourites being the 7-Zip software, which is free for download at this address: www.7zip.org.
