This detailed walkthrough of the CEBible Install process is designed
to help you get your CEBible software installed and running properly. For
each step, follow the appropriate symbol below for your type of install.
You may want to print this page out for reference as you go.
If you have CEBible on CD (including
the Boxed CD), follow these symbols.
If you have CEBible on Floppy
Disks, follow these symbols.
If you have CEBible from Downloads (Media codes
03100 and later, after 3/10/2000), follow these symbols.
If you have CEBible from Downloads
earlier than 3/10/2000 that make floppy disks, follow these symbols.
ALL Follow these steps
for all versions of CEBible.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
For CD Installs: Make sure you
have your CEBible CD, your CEBible Users' Guide, and your CEBible Key Card.
For Floppy Disk Installs: Make
sure you have your CEBible Install Disk, your CEBible Translation Disks
(each translation has an Old and New Testament Disk, and English-language
translations have a Translation Index Disk), your CEBible Users' Guide,
and your CEBible Key Card.
For Downloadable Installs:
Your downloadable order was sent by email to the email address provided
in the order. This email contains URLs of web pages to visit for the downloadable
components, a user name and password to access these pages, your CEBible
License Number, your CEBible Media Code, your CEBible Program Key, and
your Translation Keys. For each URL provided in the email, visit this page,
read the instructions on the page, and download all of the files indicated
on the page. For example, if you have ordered CEBible with KJV, there will
be one link on the page for the install file named something like "CEBible21_Install_09279.exe",
one link for the KJV data file named something like "CEBible21_KJV_09279.exe",
and one link for the KJV Index file named something like "CEBible21_KJV_Index.exe".
(For downloadable orders after 3/10/2000, there will not be a separate file
for the index.)
You can typically right-click on these links in your browser and do a "Save
As...". Note the directory that you save these files in. If you have ordered
multiple translations via download, make sure and visit all of the links
in the order email.
Once you have downloaded all
of the data files, use Explorer to browse to the directory where you have
saved the files. Count the number of files you have, and locate an equal
number of blank, formatted floppy disks. Please note that you cannot run
the CEBible install directly from your hard disk - you must create install
floppies. (I have received several impolite emails from customers that
were bypassing the instructions and attempting to install this version from their hard
disks - this does not work!) Run each downloaded file, and it will prompt
you as to how to label the disk. Allow each downloaded file
to create its respective floppy disk. You should now have a CEBible Install
Disk, your CEBible Translation Disks, and your order email handy.
Once you have downloadad all of the
data files, use Explorer to browse to the directory where you have saved the
files. Run each one of these files, and each will inform you that it is self-extracting
to the CEBible install directory, typically "C:\Program Files\CEBible21Install". Make
sure you have downloaded and run each file as indicated in your order email, so you
will have all of your translations available.
ALL For CD, Floppy,
and Download orders, you will also need your HPC or PPC, your synchronization
cable for connection to your desktop PC, and the Windows CE Services CD
that came with your HPC or PPC. Before installing CEBible, Windows CE Services
must be installed and working. If you have not already done this, see the
manuals that came with your machine for instructions. It is a good idea
to connect your machine at this time, open Windows CE Services, and synchronize
or browse your machine to make sure the interface is working. You may also
want to back up your machine at this time.
Step 2: Determine Your System Information
ALL You will need
to know certain things about your machine as you install software to it.
-
Processor Type: Windows CE machines typically have one of three
processor types: SH3 (or SH4), MIPS, and ARM (StrongARM). Find this in
Settings->System
or Control Panel->System on your HPC or PPC.
-
Windows CE Version: This gets a little confusing, but there are
currently three major versions - 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 (which is also called
2.10, 2.11, 2.12, or HPC Pro). Find this in Settings->System or
Control
Panel->System on your HPC or PPC.
-
Storage Card and Path: Does your machine have a Flash Card or Storage
Card, and what is the path to that card? On CE v1.0 machines, the path
to this card was named "\PC Card", and on CE v2.0 and up the path to this
card is typically named "\Storage Card". However, some machines have the
capability to support 2 or more cards, including ROM upgrades, so your
card could be at "\Storage Card1" or "\Storage Card2". If you have any
doubts, browse your machine using Windows CE Services and verify the proper
path.
-
Available Memory: CEBible with one translation and its index file
requires about 4.5M (4500KB) of memory. If you are planning to store CEBible
in main memory (a path like "\Program Files\CEBible"), you must verify
that you have enough storage memory available. Check these settings in
Settings->System->Memory
or Control Panel->System->Memory on your HPC or PPC to make sure
that total Storage memory minus
in use Storage memory is
at least 4500KB. If not, adjust your memory slider to make this much memory
available. If you are installing to a Storage Card, you will only need
about 200K of Storage Memory available (for the help files).
Step 3: Start the CEBible Install
Place your CEBible CD into your
CD-ROM drive. If you have autorun for CDs enabled, the CEBible welcome
pages will load. These are a set of web pages with a simple browser that
will give you information on CEBible and the Study Pages and let you install
CEBible. To begin the install, click the link for "Installing CEBible",
and then click the button for "Install CEBible 2.1". The CEBible Setup
program will run.
Place your CEBible Install disk in your A: drive. From Explorer or the
"Run.." dialog in Windows, run A:Setup.exe. The CEBible Setup program will
run.
The latest CEBible installs create a
"CEBible" Start Menu group with a "CE Install" option. Click on this to begin
the installation. If you have an older install, use Explorer to browse to the CEBible
install directory, typically "C:\Program Files\CEBible21Install", and run
"Setup.exe" from that directory. The CEBible Setup program will run.
ALL You will see the
welcome screen at this point. Tap "Next" to continue. The next screen is
the License Agreement. Tap "I Agree" to continue.
Step 4: Select the Install Type
and Version
ALL You will then
see options for the type of install you wish to perform:
-
Install CEBible v2.1 and one Bible translation - This is the option
you will use when first installing CEBible. It will install the program
files and your first Bible translation.
-
Install another Bible translation - When the CEBible program files
and your first translation have already been installed, use this option
for adding another translation to your CEBible installation.
-
Install CEBible v2.1 program files and help files only - This option
is typically used for program updates. If you are upgrading from v1.0 or
v2.0, it is best to perform a complete uninstall as indicated by this dialog
so all files are updated properly. If you are "patching" a v2.1 install
with a newer version, you do not need to uninstall - just install over
the existing files. Note that if you do the uninstall, you will probably
have to reinstall the translation files.
ALL Select the appropriate
option here and tap "Next" to continue. The next dialog lets you select
the version of CEBible appropriate for your machine. You determined the
processor and version of Windows CE in Step 2 above, so select the proper
option here and tap "Next" to continue.
Step 5: CEBible Program Key if Installing
Program Files
ALL If
you are installing program files (first and third options from Step 4 above),
the CEBible Setup program will prompt you for your CEBible Program Key.
(If you are just installing
another translation, the CEBible Setup program will skip this step.)

This key is printed on your CEBible Key Card. Enter it exactly as it is
printed and tap OK.
This key is in your order email
next to "CEBible Program Key". Enter it exactly as indicated and tap OK.
Step 6. Selecting a Translation
ALL If
you are installing translation files (first and second options from Step
4 above), the CEBible Setup program will now determine what translation
you want to install. (If you are just installing program and help files,
the CEBible Setup program will skip this step.)
The CEBible Setup program will
present a list of translations. Select the translation you wish to install,
and tap Next to continue. If you wish to install a translation that you
have on floppy disk, tap the "Have Disk" button and follow the instructions
below for installing a floppy disk translation.
The CEBible Setup program will prompt you to insert a translation disk.
Determine which translation you would like to install first, and insert
the "Old and New Testament" disk in your "A:" drive. Tap OK to continue.
The CEBible Setup program will determine what translation you have inserted.
Step 7: Provide the Translation
Key
ALL Depending
on the translation you have elected to install, the CEBible program may
prompt you for a translation key. This dialog will be similar to the dialog
shown in Step 5 above but will be asking for a key specific to the translation
selected. "Public-domain" translations in CD and Floppy installs do not
require keys and the CEBible program will skip this step for those translations.

This key is printed on your CEBible Key Card. Enter it exactly as it is
printed and tap OK. Make sure you enter the key for the translation you
have selected.
This key is in your order email.
Enter it exactly as indicated and tap OK. Make sure you enter the key for
the translation you have selected.
Step 8: Index File
The CD and newest download installs will automatically
determine if an index file exists for this translation and load it if it
does exist.
For Floppy and Download installs, the CEBible Setup program will ask if
there is an index disk for this translation. If there is, tap Yes, remove
the translation disk, insert the index disk, and tap OK to continue. The
CEBible Setup program will load the index file.
Step 9: Choose Settings
ALL You
must now choose settings appropriate for your install. If you are not installing
either the program files or a translation, some of the settings in this
dialog will be greyed out. You must select the path on your HPC or PPC
where the CEBible files will be installed. If you have determined from
Step 2 above that you are installing to main memory (Storage memory), you
can leave the path as-is. Otherwise, enter the proper path to your storage
card as determined in Step 2 above. If you are installing translations,
select appropriate options (everything is selected by default). If you
have an international language version of Windows CE and your "My Documents"
folder is not spelled "My Documents", check the box for "Non-standard My
Documents Folder" and enter the exact spelling in the box next to that
setting. If you are installing a translation that requires a font (Greek,
Hebrew, Russian, etc.) for the first time, make sure this box is checked
- if for some reason you have to reinstall this translation, you may need
to uncheck this box as copying over files in your "\Windows\Fonts" directory
may fail. Once all options are selected, tap "Next" to continue.
Step 10: Install!
ALL At
this point, CEBible is ready to install to your machine. Shut down all
running applications on your machine, dock it, and wait for it to synchronize.
You can now tap "Next" to begin the installation. If you are reinstalling
version 2.1, the CEBible Setup program may indicate to you that you should
uninstall - this is not necessary, just enter "Yes" when the CEBible Setup
asks if it is OK to overwrite a file. Depending on the speed of your connection,
the install can take up to 20-30 minutes to complete.
Step 11: Success!
ALL Once
the CEBible Setup program has completed loading files to your machine,
it will indicate success and ask if you want to install another translation.
If you do, select Yes and the CEBible Setup program will return to Step
6 above. Otherwise, select No and the CEBible Setup program will finish.
If for some reason the CEBible Setup program fails, email
with the following information:
-
What information did you determine in Step 2 above?
-
What option did you select in Step 4 above?
-
What settings did you choose in Step 9 above?
-
At what Step in this process did your install fail?
-
When it failed, what dialogs and messages were displayed?
With this information, we will be able to diagnose your problem and get
you installed properly.
