GENERAL SUPPORT

Once you receive your CD Rom, simply insert it into your computer's CD tray. It has a self launch program or if it does not self lauinch please look for the install commmand on the CD through "My computer". This will guide you through the installation process. It will ask you if it can create a new directory and if you accept the licence etc. Click "yes" when it asks to create a new directory let it do so, or you will complicate the install process.

The Rimfire Only CD has a few installation bugs that developed as it was designed to be part of a complete program with Centerfire ammunition as well.  When you pout your CVD in, it will either self launch or you must click install from my computer on your CD drive. It will install and come to a message that says two files may not have installed correctly (This is because these two files are not on the CD as are part of the centerfire CD program) It will ask you to hit YES to Abort or NO to continue. Hit NO. (IT is an opposite message from what one usually expects).

Then it will launch an uninstall icon.

Just close this.

Your program will be installed in the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VVHP\headstampguide

You can either click either of these two files to launch

You can also copy either and put on your desk top to launch.

 iper3rd_e.exe
This is the file that will launch the program. No need to keep inserting the CD to use the program, it will install to your hard drive.
There is also a de-install icon in the same place should you need to delete the program and re-install later.
If the CD goes through Installation but can not complete, this is a conflict with software on your system that you will need to fix.

ERROR MESSAGE

If during installation you get the message: f/f/!!licenseproe... can not be found or was installed incorrectly" then with a YES or NO choice. Simply Select NO and continue. This is a small programming glitch but in no way will it harm the program or your computer.

FINDING Rimfire Guide & Centerfire Measurement Guide:

If you ordered both the Headstamp Guide and Rimfire Guide.  To access the Rimfire Guide or the Centerfire measurement guide, all you have to do is go to the word "file" on the top left of the program and then open "measurement guide" or "Rimfire" in the directory of where the software is installed on your PC.

The program will automatically start which ever file you last used (Headstamp Guide, Rimfire or Measurement Guide (meaning Centerfire as rimfire measurement guide is in the rimfire headstamp section as a link..
