Installing VFX Forth for Windows
================================

Run the supplied executable SETUP.EXE and follow the on
screen instructions. The CD key is a 12 digit number which
you will find in
* the email response or invoice for the Standard,
Professional or Mission versions
* the email response for the evaluation version.

The CD key must be entered as a 12 digit number with no
punctuation or separators between the digits.

After installation, the VFX Forth manual is availble from
the VFX Forth Help menu and in the DOC folder in both PDF
and HTML formats.


Windows 7 and DEP
=================
If you have Windows 7 or another version of Windows with DEP
enabled, VFX Forth will not install. You will probably see a
message complaining about CDKEY.DLL.

To fix this problem you must turn off DEP (Data Execution
Prevention).
1) Goto Windows help, search for "Turn off DEP"
and follow the instructions.
2) Reboot - according to several users.
3) Install again.

Once VFX Forth is installed, you will need to leave DEP turned
off for VFX Forth and any applications built with it. You can
also just leave DEP completely turned off.

Because VFX Forth is an interactive incremental compiler, the
main memory section is marked as having read, write and execute
permissions. DEP causes execution from such a section to fault.

The installation fault occurs because a component of the installer
is written in Forth.
