II. SETTING UP THE PROGRAM

1. Installation

Insert the program disk in the CD-ROM drive or in a USB port if on a flash memory device. If it does not self-start, do

the following: Go to the START menu and open the Computer. Locate the CD, DVD, or USB drive and open it. Locate

the AndrenSetup8 application and double click it.

AndrenSetup8 will create a folder called: C:\LoranGPS and automatically install the program files in it. You, of course,

have the option of installing the program in another drive or folder such as D:\Program Files\LoranGPS. Not burying it

several levels down simplifies support calls. Additionally, the NOAA chart reader cannot handle blanks in the path to

the charts, so the above example would create a problem. Further, Windows Vista and 7 have limitations on where files

can be written to based on permissions. To avoid these issues, we suggest you use the default installation path

Once the installation is complete, a new program group called "AndrenSoftware" is added to the Programs section of the

WINDOWS' START MENU and an icon is placed on the desktop. Leave the CD (or USB flash) in the drive during the

first running of the program so that it can fetch charts and other files that were not loaded by the installer.

Run the new program by double clicking the blue and green Earth icon on the desktop. When it first runs, the program

will alert you that the User Preferences have not been set. Select Yes and change any of the preferences to your

settings. After the PRINTOUT HEADER is changed, you will no longer get this alert. See chapter 2 for details on

personalizing the program.

1.1 Upgrading

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of SeaMarks (or LoranGPS), this will replace some program files and might

require re-inputting user preferences. You might be required to uninstall the original version, but don’t if it does not ask

you to. Doing so will not, however, remove or replace your data files.

If you are upgrading from the really old DOS version of the program, the installation will not remove the DOS forms of

the LORAN program (as it was called then) and associated waypoints files, but will leave them in their original folder

(that is normally C:\Loran). When you exit User Preferences, (used for personalizing the program), it will look for

DOS version files in C:\Loran and will ask if you want to batch update them at that time. After you are satisfied that all

files have been transferred and your data and maps are safely converted, saved, and backed up, you can delete the

C:\Loran folder and everything in it to save some disk space and reduce clutter.
