The intention is that this installation be as simple and robust as possible. Accordingly the installation consists of downloading a ZIP file and unzipping it. This suffices since all VEEOS library code is self-contained with no usage of the system directories or registry.
There are multiple ways that you can download the library, so you can almost certainly be successful. Feel free to use any method that you like, but it is suggested that you try the below methods more-or-less in order.
Download direct in browser
For most browsers this is done by right-clicking on the link to the
zip file and choosing "save link as" or equivalent. This will typically bring
up a dialog that will allow you to choose where to save the download. Note
that some browsers may be set up so that the download takes place invisibly
to a preset location. If you don't know where the download is stored, see your
browser's settings. Typical case is pictured below.
Find the download link and choose "Save Link As" or equivalent.
Choose most anywhere- ideally a temp directory- to save the file. You
will likely not be able to save it directly into your VEE install
directory if your security is set correctly, so save it elsewhere.
Download from command line
Depending upon your environment, you can also download from a command line,
For instance:
Download using VEE after library is installed
It is also quite possible to grab the download from within VEE since there's
a utility (downloadLatestLibrary)
in VEEOS that automates the download. This requires VEEOS so would of course
not work for initial installs but would be fine for upgrades.
Once you have the download, open it with any zip utility, either
built-in or addon, and choose to unpack it to your VEE install directory.
NOTE that due to built-in security in Windows 10 and beyond you will
probably need to upack the zip file first and then move the contents to
the VEE install.
That's it! You are now set to go.
The VEEOS library is fairly self-contained, so to remove VEEOS from your system, bring up any file utility that you like and remove a few items from your VEE installation. Items to be removed are:
<VEE install directory>/bitmaps/veeos <VEE install directory>/veeos <VEE install directory>/veeos.mnuThat's it- VEEOS Library is now gone.
