Advanced Installation Techiques
Gantt Designer is .NET Framework compliant and has a 100% zero footprint. No Windows registry entries are created or written.
If you prefer not to use the MSI package, and provided you know your way about your PC, you can install Gantt Designer by just copying this file: Gantt.exe.zip. (This file constitutes an Original Distribution Package as defined in the license Agreement and the terms of the license apply.)
For local language resources, copy the resource files you need and locate them in the correct sub-directories.
Additional optional steps are:
- Create a short-cut to Gantt.exe.
- Create a file type mapping to launch Gantt.exe for files with the .Gnt extension.
Remember that Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0 is a pre-requisite.
Other files
During execution, Gantt Designer creates and makes use of the following two optional files:- In the folder where the application is located: Holidays.xml. This is an XML file that contains the holiday information you create.
- In your My Documents folder: Gantt.Config.xml. This is an XML file that contains some user settings such as language in use.
