To install Bible Analyzer (in Windows) open BibleAnalyzer5(?)-setup.exe. The installation routine
will by default install Bible Analyzer in your Program Files folder. It will also place an optional
shortcut on the Desktop and in the Start Menu. The user must be logged in as administrator to
install.
By default the installation routine will setup Bible Analyzer to run in "Installation Mode." That is,
folders will be created in specific system locations to contain the application, modules,
configuration files, and user files.
If the user prefers a Portable Installation of Bible Analyzer, where the application can be copied
to and run from a portable drive, an option is given during setup to install all file types under the
application folder.
Note:
Although it should be transparent to the user, Bible Analyzer looks for a portable.ini file
in the application folder to determine if an installation is portable or not. If this file is not
found Bible Analyzer will start in system setup mode.
The various modules (a limited set is included in the download version) are installed under the Bible Analyzer/Modules folder in either the All Users folder (Windows XP) or the ProgramData
folder (Windows Vista, 7).
Example:
XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bible Analyzer\Modules\
Vista, 7, and 8 - C:\ProgramData\Bible Analyzer\Modules\
The various modules are in six sub-folders. Each sub-folder contains the appropriate Module
type.
· The Audio Folder contains the audio files (.mid, .mp3, .wma, .wav)
· The Bible Folder contains all Bible Modules (.bib extension)
· The Commentary Folder contains all Commentary Modules (.cmt extension)
· The Devotion Folder contains all Devotions Modules (.dev extension)
· The Dictionary Folder contains all Dictionary Modules .dct extension)
· The Image Folder contains all Image Modules (.img extension)
· The Text Folder contains all Text Modules (.bk extension)
Note:
Although modules can be placed anywhere under the Modules folder, it is best if they are
placed in the appropriate folder. On the next run Bible Analyzer will find and open them.
For instructions on making custom Image and HTML Text Modules, see the appropriate sections.
